MRI results
I tell you, I can't figure out which is harder: recovering from my shoulder surgery (i.e. therapy) or trying to figure out and stick to a diet that doesn't make me gag/feel sick each time I eat. It continues to be a struggle, but I am keeping my eyes fixed on Jesus and when I have those days of very little strength, I rest. I rest physically, emotionally, and most important, spiritually. It continues to be a battle for me each day as I often question why am I struggling so much this past year and continue to struggle. When all tests are done and now answers are given, what does one do? How does one feel? Honestly, I feel frustrated. This is not saying I want something like a positive diagnosis, but I just want answers so I can be treated properly. I'm really tired taking nausea medications all the time and other "cover up" medications. I talked to my doctor and told him that I'm not fond of the idea of just taking medications to "cover up" symptoms. I'm anxious to get the the bottom of this so I can be well treated. I guess this is where patience and trusting God kicks in.
My brain MRI has come back and all is clear.....well, all is clear in a sense that nothing has changed since my last MRI in 2005. That is some way is a relief that nothing in my brain is causing my sickness. Every thing is fine. The next step is to try a new medication, go see my ENT doctor, and my endocrinologist---all in mid to late July. I pray answers will be found. The hard part is that this new medications is not covered by insurance; therefore, I will have to pay the entire fee up front; and I tell ya, it's a lot of money for so little pills!!
So along with my chronic stomach pains (both lower right and upper mid region), I am continuing to recover from my shoulder surgery (almost 3 weeks ago). I am still having pain, but it is not near the point I have to take the "strong" medications. I am doing fairly well with just regular pain medications during the day, and for that I am grateful.
I am continuing to keep my faith strong, knowing that God in His time, will reveal answers. For now, I am enjoying the beauty of God's creations and love of His people. Thanks again for prayers.
