Kneeling during the Eucharist *Problem*

[CB_Catholic]

Oh my goodness, bless your heart!:hug1:
That is on my list of possibilities they say it could be:
Menieres
MS
Chiari Malformation
Dysautonomia
My tests are coming back strange, they are abnormal but abnormal for abnormal, if you get what I am saying. A few issues with my cardiovascualr and neurological system but nothing that seems to be causing this.
GI problems are bad. I have already had 7ft of my Colon removed (yes, I am serious, it was that long, I have a picture). I am currently being evaulated for a Gastric Pacemaker for my Gasroparesis (it is debilitating). Swallowing issues… My entire Gastrointestinal system is gone.
I have all those GI issues, along with shortness of breath, Migraines, dizziness, numbness, tingling, a feeling of floating (this lasts all day), my vision goes strange, my ear feels like it is being hit or there is a vibration if I hear certain sounds and it it vibrates in my brain.Strange rash (could be related to my Thyroid)…HORRIBLE EXHAUSTION AND FATIGUE
I dont’ know what else to do.
I have had dozens and dozens of tests, I am seeing a
Endocrinologist
Rheumatologist
Gastroenterologist
Cardiologist
Dermatologist
Neurologist.
I have actually been diagnosed with Primary Hypothyroidism and Secondary (Hashimotos Thyroiditis), Secondary Adrenal Insufficiency, Gastroparesis, Anemia and Hypotension.
My BP runs around 90/60 but it doesn’t drop when I stand so it isn’t Orthostatic Hypotension. If I stand for an extended period of time, I can’t breath. Minimal exertion causes that too. I still exercise and I am of healthy weight 5ft6in, 129 pounds. I don’t know what is going on. Does any of this sound familiar to you?

ETA sorry this is so long, I needed to vent!

My goodness, I don’t even know how you manage to make it to church, let alone worry about not kneeling! I have said a prayer for you.

Thank you so much, I am a huge mess. I have kinda given up hope on getting a diagnosis but I have faith that God will help me cope, and he has. Last evening, I knelt until I couldn’t any longer and no one even noticed so I do feel so much better. Thank you for the prayers I definitely appreciate them!

Just stay seated. If standing or kneeling adversely affects you there is no problem. I know that many people seem to feel that if for some reason they are out of step with the community at large they are in trouble liturgically. Not so. You are free to sit stand or kneel throughout the entire Mass if need be. No worries about it. I’m sure God will understand.

If you are unable to go forward to receive, tell the usher and either the Priest, Deacon or an Extraordinary Minister of Holy Communion willl bring the Eucharist to you. Gladly.

Problem solved.

Thank you!
I’m currently seeing 6 different doctors and have had two procedures in the last two weeks, so I am trying.
I just worry about looking disrespectful.

Don’t worry about other people judging you.
