Denise,

 

I have been dealing with mulitple painful medical conditions for all of my adult life, just short of your agony.  I have faced the unknowns, the depression, the anger, the disappointment.  Why me?

 

I have also tried to teach myself not to fear my pain, but to face it head on and deal with it.  I have allowed to to take over my life.  Not the right thing to do.

 

Your post has given me hope and not just a few tears in sisterhood/chronicpainhood.

 

GBY and Huggles,

Annie

hi denise, i was so sorry to hear about yet another problem you are having...gosh, sometimes do you feel like it never will end?? the first thing that came to my mind was the reflex problem. my young grandson, now 10 months old, was having the same thing, my daughter and her boyfriend were constantly in the E.R. , because he actually DID stop breathing a couple times, the drs. they were seeing couldn't figure it out, and they kept on trying other drs. , until finally a dr. put his litlle body on a heart monitor, because kristyn would not sleep when he went to sleep , afraid he would stop breathing again, they went thru months of pure hell, with his symptoms, he had high blood pressure and high potassium, plus the coughing episodes. he  ha finally outgrown most of all his probs, thank the supreme being above, but he still has high b/p. kristyn was so strong thruout the whole 9 months (don't know that I couldv'e been so strong) and now he is growing into the most beautiful baby, always was, but not healthy!! i wish the best for you and i hope they find out very soon what they can do for you and it will hopefully stop, i feel so bad for you, you have so much on your plate....and yet you always seem to be somewhat upbeat about things...makes me feel stupid or what is the word? for complaining about my chronic back pain...you really do inspire me, and i truly hope the best for you, healing hugs, cindi
