**Hello all…
I am in need of your prayers.
Several months ago, I noticed that my left index finger was a little stiff. Well, I went to my doctor when I noticed a swelling developing around my middle joint. She said it was a cyst and that it would go away. Not so. Now my whole finger is swollen and inflamed.
I’ll have surgery to remove the cyst (after numerous tests, that is what it is, but turns out that it didn’t go away!) on the 29th. Oh, it gets better.
I’m 29 and have been taking cholesterol lowering medication for about 3 months now. Not working at all. After a visit to the ER about a week ago, it turns out that some of the cholesterol broke off in one of my arteries around my heart and stuck in another place and caused me to have a mild heart attack. I never realized it - thought it was indigestion or food poisoning. After that same visit to the ER (I went because my feet were grossly swollen and turning blue, and, though I am not terribly out of shape or overweight, I would get winded walking around my house) I learned that I have congestive heart failure…
I was researching congestive heart failure treatments when I fell asleep at my computer. I fell out of my chair and landed in a pile on the rug by my back door, where I apparently slept the whole night without realizing I fell or anything. Turns out that I tore a nerve running from my neck to my shoulder and I’m going to have to have surgery to repair the nerve. It’s really giving me a lot of problems with tingling, numbness, twitching, and shooting pains down my left arm.
To top it all off, I’m having to deal with medication changes dealing with my bipolar disorder. I was diagnosed at 18 and have been trying for about 8 years to find the right meds for it. Finally found a combo that works - but now individual meds are pooping out on me. My anti-psychotic stopped working so I had to go through several to find a good one. Now my sleeping pills have quit on me - that’s a tough one because conventional prescription sleep aids like Ambien don’t work for me at all.
I feel like God is testing me to see how far I can bend before I break. I need y’all’s prayers because this is getting to be more than I can deal with! I feel like if I catch a cold just now, I’ll have a screaming hissy fit and then just roll over and give up!
I’m sorry to have talked y’all’s ears off about my little worries, but I had to just get it out and ask for help. Please pray for me!
