"MY MOTTO"
LIFE...AND THE THINGS IT BRINGS

Thursday, February 5, 2015


Burnt out my adrenals and first, was dx'd with Addison's and thought that it was the answer, but after 5 yrs. of suffering with Lyme was dx'd by Igenex. Bit in '08 found the tick, that had stayed on the back of my hairline, for 3 days. That's why I'm neurotixic, for it was close to my brain. It wasn't found early and didn't have rash, that I could see. All that I can say @ Lyme is that it is H to go through and it takes ALL of you. Still stuck in bed. :o  
My legs still kill me and I'm neurotoxic, where it affects my brain and thought process. The insomnia is horrible and I fight sleep. Yes, I had Lyme rages and a very patient easy-going person, but patiently doing what I can at home, to fight it. No option for treatment, for the cost is too high!! The bone pain, pins & needles are still there and working to figure if it is all of my neck/back damage or the Lyme, that is causing it. ?? I have 4 herniations in a row(T8-T11, with a petrusion on T8-T9 & T3-T4 compressed fracture that seems to be keeping me down. Plus, a C2 scerlotic lesion and my muscles around each side of my neck that stayed tensed up-tight!!) Wondering if surgery would help, but not sure if it is that or the Lyme doing it. 
By using essential oils, they have truly tremendously helped me. They've really sustained me and improved my life. I know, that I would still be in agony...if, it hadn't of been for them and the 6 Turmeric pills, I take everyday. It fights the inflammation and does work!!! I don't know what else to do, but wondering if it will EVER really go away. ? I pray to get rid of the LEG & BONE pain that I deal with. It is hell. The only word for it, but I'm a fighter and still here. Praying that it doesn't get any worse and that I'll find a way to get it in remission, but there is no guarantee it won't go haywire. 
Now, I find that it gets into your teeth and reeks havoc, but working on that. My dentist, even has Lyme and we're trying to figure that one out. There's a solution, we must find it.  
Lyme is an endless battle, that we must fight everyday...but, we can't give up.

LIFE WAS GOOD, UNTIL I WAS BIT BY A DEER TICK AND CONTRACTED LYME DISEASE and ITS CO-INFECTIONS OF BARTONELLA & BABESIA. MY LIFE SEEM TO UNRAVEL...AND FALL APART, ESPECIALLY WHEN MY NECK & BACK ISSUES COME ON STRONG ON TOP OF IT.
                                                                                                      HERE IS SOME OF MY STORY...
         Well...a lot of my story! :o 


HERE IN THIS PICTURE...I'M HAVING A GOOD DAY BUT, THEY ARE FEW AND FAR BETWEEN. :/ THIS IS WHO I REALLY AM..A SMILING, HAPPY PERSON THAT DIDN'T EVER LET ANYTHING SLOW HER DOWN OR BOTHER HER. ME...A MOTHER, WIFE AND DAUGHTER, THAT DOESN'T SEEM TO HAVE MUCH OF A LIFE ANYMORE BEING STUCK MOSTLY IN BED. LYME HAS TAKEN JUST ABOUT ALL OF MY LIFE AWAY FROM ME AND MY NECK & BACK PROBLEMS, HAVE ONLY BEEN INTENSIFIED. :/

I'M AN ARTIST, VOCALIST AND MUSICIAN, BUT THOSE THINGS SEEMS TO BE PART OF THE PAST NOW. I CAN'T DO THEM ANYMORE, NOT STRONG ENOUGH RIGHT NOW. I JUST LAY IN BED MOST DAYS, PRAYING THAT I WILL FINE AN ANSWER...TO HOW, I WILL GET MY LIFE BACK!! THAT I WILL FIND A WAY, TO GET THIS LATE STAGE..NEUROLOGICAL LYME OUT OF ME AND MY SPINAL PROBLEMS CORRECTED TO ENJOY LIFE ONCE MORE!!!

I  WAS ALWAYS DOING SOMETHING AND LOVED TO WORK, LIKE SINGING IN MUSICALS, PERFORMING WITH FAMILY AND FRIENDS TOGETHER AND LOOKING FORWARD TO SO MUCH MORE OUT OF LIFE, BUT WHEN I CONTRACTED LYME, ALL OF THAT WAS TAKEN AWAY. 
I DISAPPEARED FROM THE WORLD AND SEEMED LIKE I HAD BECOME A HERMIT, BUT WAS FAR FROM WANTING TO BE AWAY FROM MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS. 
AFTER PULLING A TICK OFF OF ME IN '08, MY LIFE COMPLETELY CHANGED. UNDERNEATH THAT EXTERIOR OF SMILES...IS A VERY PAINFUL PERSON, WHO IS JUST STRIVING TO GET WELL AND LIVE LIFE AGAIN!!

To explain to a few of you who don't understand, that those of us with Lyme have TERRIBLE MEMORY problems. Short-term MEMORY that is and I definitely have memory problems that's really severe at times. IF anything interrupts my train of thought, WHILE I'M TRYING TO MAKE A POINT, IT IS JUST LOST AND I STAND THERE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT, WHAT IN THE WORLD WE WERE DISCUSSING. I will forget everything that I wanted to say too. Talk about frustrating. Whatever, I was thinking is gone. Seriously, I have a three second rule. If I don't get what needs to be said...out, I've lost it completely and can't retrieve it. IT'S like I have ADHD..or something, BUT IT IS MUCH WORSE. Really it is more like ALZHEIMER'S OR DEMENTIA and I'm too young for that. 
Just wanted to let you know this about the memory, before you read my story. That's just in case I repeat anything more than once. I will try to read over it and correct any repetitions. :o 


 
"WE ALL PUT ON A BRAVE FACE IN FRONT OF OTHERS and that is a hard thing to do, BUT WHEN WE ARE ALONE..then, we can let the pain out. REALITY SETS IN." 


IT TOOK YEARS FOR IT TO GROW & BE FOUND...LYME!!! ONLY FOUND BY A LYME LITERATE DOC. BECAUSE ALL OF THE NEUROLOGIST, ONLY RUN 2 TEST OUT OF 6 AND THERE IS OVER 300 DIFFERENT STRAINS OF LYME. THEY WILL NEVER GET MANY POSITIVE BLOOD RESULTS, BY DOING IT THAT WAY AND IT IS SO WRONG TO THE PATIENTS! I SUFFERED 4 MORE YEARS BECAUSE OF IT. :o
MY BLOOD WORK HAD TO BE SENT TO IGENEX, BEFORE WE GOT ANSWERS TO MY LYME QUESTIONS!!  SINCE, IT TOOK YEARS TO BE DIAGNOSED CORRECTLY AND IT WAS LEFT TO GROW OUT OF CONTROL. IT IS GOING TO TAKE TIME, FOR ME TO BE ME AGAIN.  BEING DX'D WITH LYME DISEASE, BARTONELLA. & BABESIA, WHAT AM I TO DO?! THE BEST I CAN, BUT THE GOOD LORD WILL SEE ME THROUGH!!

THIS IS WHAT I FOUND THAT BROUGHT MY LYME TO LIGHT OR LIFE: 
People who exhibit healthy immune function generally do not suffer from the worse aspects of Lyme. My immune function must not have been too good, for when I needed some teeth work done, it made my LYME come to life...or WAY worse. 
I got sick because I had teeth extracted and had some other work. Root canals, as well as improper extractions, weaken your immune competency. Tooth extractions or Root Canals, improperly done, cause problems where the Lyme infiltrate the system. LYME infiltrates YOUR TEETH and MOUTH!! Leaving you with NEVER being able to completely eradicate it from your system!! IT EMBEDS ITSELF IN YOUR TEETH!!! :o
Another words, if my teeth had been properly addressed in the first place, my immune function would have been sufficient to withstand the Lyme onslaught, but having teeth extracted or dong any root canal improperly  had caused the Lyme to reek havoc in my system!! Now, I'm left with teeth problems and still dealing with the Lyme too!! >:o

We must find a way to keep the Lyme, from becoming a problem!! To do that, we must KEEP our teeth receiving proper care with a Holistic Dentist, who knows @ the complexities of Lyme. We must also, keep our immune system at par!! But, I'd rather have a Birdie!! :/

LATE STAGE NEUROLOGICAL LYME DISEASE AND WHAT IT'S CO-INFECTIONS, DO TO YOU...
No one realizes what Late stage neurological LYME really is...and what it does to you, unless they have it. IT takes all of you and all the while, you are helplessly watching your life come to a screeching halt. IF I WROTE DOWN ALL OF THE SYMPTOMS, YOU COULD HARDLY BELIEVE THAT SOMEONE COULD DEAL WITH IT ALL. :/ 
Your not the same person, as you once were before and all that you knew your life to be...seems, will never be again. I've had to completely put my dreams on the back burner and be completely stuck in my house. I just pray that one day, I'll get to pursue them once again. :/
You can't move on with you life, until you get THAT LYME UNDER CONTROL. I WANT IT OUT and THAT SEEMS UTTERLY IMPOSSIBLE!!! But, with a positive attitude it helps to move on and at least, hope for a better future. 

IT'S definitely a humbling experience and does make you appreciate every GOOD moment that you get of life. Every time that I can smile or not feel pain, I'm grateful. :) 


First...I want to address those who have people in their life, who are suffering from Lyme or are possibly showing signs of having the disease. Please be considerate and find a LLMD, to get a diagnosis. Or..if, already dx'd with Lyme, GET to working on some kind of treatment. It is very helpful to just TRY to understand, what they are dealing with on the inside. You may not be able to see THAT PAIN, but IT is SOOOO REAL and indescribably painful!! IT IS JUST HARD TO EXPERIENCE ON IT'S OWN, BESIDES NO ONE LISTENING TO OR BELIEVING IN THEM!! AND...You could SAVE their LIFE!!
IT just hurts me so much, when someone doesn't listen or understand!!
Sometimes it gets me so angry inside, from those suffering and NOT being heard or believed by loved ones or others!! IT is a battle..a daily battle, that seems to be intensifying each day and if, not treated early...could be left to grow out of control and even KILL a person. 
At times, I don't know what to do, but to put my feelings down and to keep on fighting. It does seem therapeutic to write about it and hopefully, this will help others in some way. I pray that it does. :) 

I can't help that I'm not active like I used to be...or that I can't move around or help much. I LOVE to work and my whole life, I've been a worker. That is...until I got LYME.  THE LYME IS IN MY BACK AND CNS-Central Nervous System, which makes it ever more difficult for me...to just get out of bed. IT is also in my Brain, which is called neurotoxity. It can possibly get into the HEART, but I'm praying about that and hopefully, IT isn't there yet! I hope by then, to be able to be completely treated for it!! That's when it becomes deadly, when it gets into the heart. People have actually died with Lyme. Yes..IT has KILLED many, but if you catch it early...YOU could be alright!!


I must say something about the one thing, that has helped me tremendously, I've been so blessed to have a wonderful husband and family, who does listen, care and stand beside me. I thank GOD for them everyday!!
Also, I've found essential oils, that God gave to us and THEY are WONDERFUL!! I put them in EACH of my baths. The oils...I mix with Epsom Salts, so that they can diffuse with the salts and work better. IT really has made a difference in my life!!! SOOO GRATEFUL!!! I know that without them, I would have been MUCH worse!! :o
Tired and all from me today, for the computer screen looks like it is moving and need to stop, but got a lot said. Maybe, tomorrow I'll be able to add the symptoms. That's a maybe...


LETTER I WROTE TO A NEUROSURGEON, IN HOPES OF AT LEAST, GETTING MY BACK STRAIGHTENED OUT.  My name is Karen and been having Migraines & neck/back pain for the past 10 years. Dx'd with a T3-T4 compressed fracture, a C2 scerlotic lesion and T8-T8 protrusion. Also, herniations of T8-T11 and was told by a Hospital visit that I had Cauda Equina, but nothing done about it. I take a lot of pain and just a stronger person than, people give me credit for.
I had an ACD & F spinal diskectomy of C5-C6 done, back in '06. I have an AVM(left cerebral hemisphere), Chiari Malformation(over deficits-with being 6.5mm). I've had sinus/allergy issues, since I was a teenager, but received allergy shots for 14 years. Oh, also was in a Car accident back in '95, where I was hit hard on the top of my head and always have a sore spot right where I was hit. The headache seems to stem from there too. I'm a mess.   
Also, I've been dx'd with Lyme disease from my blood work being sent to Igenex in California and do have Adrenal Insufficiency that's being treated, by Endocrinologist in Memphis.(since '12) First, he thought I had Addison's disease and was treated for that for 2 years, but later it turned out to be because I received so many Corticosteroid shots for my neck/back pain, that caused it. And, I'm sure a bunch of stress helped it along.     
How, I retrieved your information was by my husband, who is a student of one of your patients Paulette Parker. She is also a long-time friend of mine. I've heard only good things about you and that you are a very nice guy and great doc. I've seen some docs from Memphis, but not for the Migraines and they won't do anything for my back. My NL says that all 5 layers area affected and don't want to have to take these strong medications forever or live my life in bed. I'm just missing so much of my kids life. I can't stand over 5-10 or my legs will give way and I have balance issues.
I've been having terrible Migraines or some kind of tension headaches, for the past 4 yrs., but here lately have been intensifying. They don't want to seem to go away, but strangely enough having a BM does give it some kind of relief and don't understand why that is. They spike and are very painful and can completely go away for a short while, then come on strong again. They also, seem to have some kind of connection with my neck and the pain in my neck is like the headache is stemming from there. My head has all of these sore spots. The pain is also over my forehead, temples and bridge of my nose and behind my eyes.
I've had 3 ultrasounds of my neck, to check my thyroid and am hyperthyroid too. When, they run the ultrasound, all they would find is my that my muscles are tightening up. 
I don't believe it is sinus, but can't tell. Here lately, it seems like it is circulatory because after I take an Aspirin, it can go away for a while. I've had them so bad in the past that I would get nauseated, dizzy and light-headed and couldn't stand any kind of light. I will have to stay in a dark room when they come on, but the ones that I've had the past two weeks straight, have not had those symptoms. They seem different. The pain is constant behind my eyes. 
I do have allergies, but take medicine for that each day. Given Zyrtec & the Flucticasone nasal spray for it and take it everyday. I don't miss a dose, for I'm afraid of getting one. 
I do believe that the back & neck issues could be the culprit, but not sure and only want so badly to find a solution. I deal with horrible leg pain too, especially under the knee and calf, but it can cover all of both of my legs down to the bottom of my feet. The pain is a sharp joint-muscle pain, that never goes away and can be strong in intensity. I was struck by a nerve block back in '06 and ever since had problems. Thinking that the cauda equina could have something to do with it. My legs pulsate, jerk and vibrate all the time and I have to run my electric bed, just to trick my mind into not feeling or thinking of it..  
Have to take such strong medication and so tired of it.  I want to be pill-free and get rid of this Fentanyl patch, one of these days if possible and live a normal productive life. Praying that someone could fix me.  
I'll find a way, to come see you. I've got to get my life back on track. I'm a driven and love to work, but can't do much of anything anymore. 
Thank you for listening. God Bless, Karen-suffering in Arkansas

HEAD ACHES THAT SPIKE, COME AND GO. IS IT TMJ? TEMPORAL ARTERITIS? THAT ABNORMAL VEIN THAT WAS FOUND IN MY MRI? I BELIEVE THAT IT ALL IS CAUSED BY THE LYME DISEASE AND MUST FIND A WAY TO GET IT OUT!!!!

BEEN EXPERIENCING THESE WEIRD TYPE OF HEAD ACHES..OR HEAD PAINS, AS I CALL IT. IT IS NOT LIKE A REGULAR HEADACHE. IT WILL SPIKE LIKE IT IS CONNECTED TO MY HEART OR SOMETHING. I HAVE ALSO BEEN HAVING PAIN IN MY VEINS AND WAS DIAGNOSED HAVING AN ABNORMAL VEIN IN MY HEAD. ALTHOUGH, THEY DIDN'T TELL ME WHERE THE VEIN IS. :o
I DO HAVE TMJ AND WAS DIAGNOSED WITH IT YEARS AGO, BUT MY JAW IS STAYING SORE HEAR LATELY. ON THE RIGHT SIDE, LOWER JAW BONE, IT STAYS SORE AND I CAN BARELY TOUCH IT. I DO NEED SOME TEETH WORK DONE, BUT HAD TO PUT IT ON THE BACK BURNER, DUE TO HAVING ALL OF MY OTHER HEALTH ISSUES. 
I HAVE LYME DISEASE, ADDISON'S DISEASE AND FIBROMYALGIA. PLUS A TON OF NEURLOGICAL DEFICITS WITH THE NECK AND BACK ISSUES. ALSO DEALING WITH A C2 SCERLOTIC LESION, T3-T4 COMPRESSED FRACTURE, T8-T9 PROTRUSION, ALONG WITH DDD, SPONDYLOSIS AND SPINAL STENOSIS. 
I DO TAKE NEURONTIN THAT SEEMS TO HELP WITH SOME OF THE NERVE PAIN. DON'T TAKE MUCH PAIN MEDICATION, SINCE IT DOESN'T SEEM TO HELP ME MUCH WITH THE HEAD PAIN. I HAVE STARTED TAKING MORE ASPIRIN, WHICH DOES SEEM TO HELP ME A BIT WITH THE HEAD PAIN.  ALSO I'M AFRAID TO TAKE MUCH ASPIRIN, SINCE I DO HAVE THAT ABNORMAL VEIN THAT WAS FOUND IN MY HEAD. I ALSO HAVE AN AVM IN MY LEFT CEREBULLAR HEMISPHERE AND DEALING WITH A CHIARI MALFORMATION, FROM A CAR WRECK BACK IN '95. THE CM IS OVER THE DEFICITS, BEING 6.5mm AND I HURT IN MY NECK ALL THE TIME. I HAVE HAD AN ULTRASOUND OF MY NECK AND THE DOC TOLD ME THAT ALL THAT HE SEES ARE TIGHT, TENSED MUSCLES SHOWING UP. 
I'VE BEEN EXPERIENCING THIS JERK IN MY RIGHT FINGER AND SHOULDER. MY MUSCLES ARE TIGHT ALL THE TIME, ESPECIALLY IN MY NECK AND JAW AREA AND IT COULD BE THE REASON FOR THE HEADACHES OR HEAD PAIN, AS I CALL IT. I HAVE NO IDEA FOR SURE WHAT IS CAUSING THEM AND HOPEFULLY, WHEN I GET TO THE PAIN MANAGEMENT CLINIC, THEY WILL GET TO THE BOTTOM OF IT. 
JUST WANTED TO SEND THIS OUT AND SEE, IF THERE IS ANYONE ELSE EXPERIENCING THESE WEIRD HEADACHES, THAT SPIKE AND THEN JUST COME AND GO. 
A LITTLE MORE HISTORY ABOUT ME. WELL, I AM A SMOKER OF CIGARETTES AND HAVE BEEN WANTING TO QUIT FOR A LONG TIME AND HAVE TRIED, BUT DUE TO ALL THE STRESS THAT I EXPERIENCE...IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO DO. 
I BELIEVE THAT IF, I COULD GET THE LYME AND IT'S CO-INFECTIONS OUT OF MY BODY, IT WOULD BE EASIER TO DO. IT TAKES ALL OF ME AND WEARS ME OUT. I FEEL, AS IF MY BODY HAS BEEN BEATEN AND DON'T HAVE ANY ENERGY. I LITERALLY FEEL LIKE I'VE BEEN UNPLUGGED.  
I EXPERIENCE CONSTANT MUSCLE SPASMS IN MY LEGS AND HAVE A BED, WITH A LEG MESSAGE FEATURE THAT CONTINUOUSLY RUNS. I THINK THAT I WOULD GO CRAZY, IF I DIDN'T HAVE THAT FEATURE ON MY BED. THEY FEEL LIKE THEY PULSATE OR THROB, WHERE I FEEL THAT THE BED FEATURE CONFUSES MY MIND AND I CAN DEAL WITH THEM MORE. 
I DON'T BELIEVE THAT ANYONE KNOWS HOW STRONG, I REALLY AM. I AM NOT A BIT FRAGILE, ALTHOUGH I MIGHT LOOK LIKE I AM. I HAVE A SMALL BODY FRAME AND LOOK LIKE I COULD BREAK, BUT REALLY I AM REALLY STRONG. MY HANDS CAN REALLY BE STRONGER THAN, OTHERS CAN IMAGINE THEY ARE. I EVEN DON'T KNOW MY OWN STRENGTH SOMETIMES. 
ME AND GARY ON THE WAY BACK FROM ONE OF MY DOCTOR VISITS. YOU CAN SEE THAT I LIKE TO FEEL THE WIND IN MY HAIR. LOL :) I TRY TO KEEP SMILING, NO MATTER WHAT, BUT IT SURE DOES GET DIFFICULT TO DO SOME TIMES AND DON'T FEEL LIKE LIVING AT TIMES, BUT KEEP PUSHING FORWARD..SOME HOW. IF, IT WEREN'T FOR GOD..I WOULDN'T HAVE MADE IT THIS FAR. I DON'T LIKE BEING SICK AND ONLY WANT TO BE HEALTHY AGAIN, BUT IT ALMOST SEEMS IMPOSSIBLE TO FEEL GREAT ALL THE TIME. I SURE DO TRY THOUGH AND KNOW, THAT IT IF WEREN'T FOR GOD...I WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO SMILE AT ALL. 

I HAVE BEEN THROUGH SO MUCH, THAT I JUST KEEP GOING SOME HOW AND JUST DEAL WITH WHATEVER COMES MY WAY.  I HAVE SO MANY THINGS WRONG WITH ME, THAT IT SEEMS UNBELIEVABLE, EVEN TO ME. I DON'T SEE HOW A PERSON COULD HAVE ALL THAT WRONG WITH THEM, BUT I HAVE BEEN DIAGNOSED WITH THEM AND CAN'T ARGUE WITH THE DOCTORS. 
I DO A LOT OF RESEARCH ON WHAT I'VE BEEN DIAGNOSED WITH AND HAVE LEARNED SO MUCH IN THE PROCESS. THE ONE THING, THAT I BELIEVE THAT HAS TRULY HELPED ME, IS THAT I STARTED USING ESSENTIAL OILS. I STARTED BACK BEFORE I WAS DIAGNOSED WITH THE ADDISON'S OR THE LYME DISEASE AND TRULY BELIEVE THAT IT IS WAS HAS KEPT ME GOING ALL THIS TIME. I DON'T BELIEVE THAT I WOULD STILL BE HERE, IF I HADN'T OF DISCOVERED THEM. I ADD ABOUT 15 DIFFERENT OILS TO MY BATH WATER, EACH TIME THAT I TAKE A BATH AND FEEL SO ALIVE, WHEN I GET OUT OF THE TUB. THE PAIN DOES COME BACK, BUT IT DOES GIVE ME A COUPLE OF HOURS OF RELIEF, BEFORE IT DOES. 
GOD PUT THE OILS HERE FOR US TO USE AND DO BELIEVE THAT HE CREATED THEM, FOR THAT PURPOSE. ALL THE OILS, EITHER CAME FROM A FLOWER OR TREE. AS A MATTER OF FACT, IF YOU NOTICE THAT MOST OF THE MEDICATIONS THAT WE HAVE TODAY, CAME FROM SOMETHING NATURAL THAT GOD MADE. I DO THANK GOD FOR THEM. 


WELL, TO SUM EVERYTHING UP. I AM SO TIRED OF BEING SICK AND ONLY WANT TO GET BACK TO WELLNESS AND IT SEEMS THAT MOST OF MY PROBLEMS HAVE COME FROM THAT SINGLE BITE OF A TICK. I HAVE RESEARCHED, WHERE IT HAS BEEN THE CAUSE OF THE ADDISON'S DISEASE. IT COULD BE POSSIBLE THAT THE LYME CAUSE ALL OF IT!!! THE SPIRCHETTES FROM LYME, CAN GO ANYWHERE THAT THEY WANT. THEY CAN EVEN DRILL INTO A PERSON'S BONES. :o
THE LYME IS WHAT HAS DRAGGED ME DOWN AND IF, ANY WAY POSSIBLE I'VE GOT TO GET TREATMENT FOR IT AND IT'S CO-INFECTIONS. IF, I EVER WANT TO GET TOTALLY WELL, IT IS WHAT NEEDS TO GO. THE ONLY PROBLEM IS THAT INSURANCE DOESN'T COVER TREATMENT FOR THE LYME. :P 
IT DOESN'T SEEM FAIR AND THERE MUST BE A WAY, TO GET IT TREATED. THE PLACES THAT DO TREATMENT COSTS A FORTUNE AND SOMETHING THAT I JUST DON'T HAVE. ONE PLACE THAT DOES TREATMENT COST $7000 A WEEK. WHO COULD AFFORD THAT? I KNOW THAT I CAN'T. WE LIVE FROM WEEK TO WEEK HERE AND ARE BARELY SURVIVING...SO, I DEFINITELY WON'T BE ABLE TO GO THERE. ANOTHER PLACE IS LOCATED IN RENO, NEVADA, CALLED SIERRA INTEGRATIVE MEDICINE. THEIR COST IS A LOT BETTER, BUT STILL HIGH AS A CAT'S BACK!! IT COSTS $3000 A WEEK AND WOULD NEED 4-6 WEEKS OF TREATMENT. I PRAY THAT I CAN RAISE IT, BUT WOULD HAVE TO SELL OUR HOME, IF I DO...UNLESS, THE MONEY COULD BE RAISED SOME WAY. 
I LIVE IN ARKANSAS AND IN A MOBILE HOME. YES, I AM NOT RICH AND TRYING TO FIND A WAY TO RAISE THE MONEY SOME HOW. 
I DID WORK IN NASHVILLE IN OPRYLAND AND THERE ARE A FEW FRIENDS OF MINE, WHO ARE WILLING TO HELP ME RAISE THE MONEY, BUT THE PROBLEM IS TRYING TO GET IT TOGETHER. THERE HAS GOT TO BE A WAY. THE WAY THAT I LOOK AT IT..IF, THERE IS A WILL...THERE IS A WAY. 
ONE FRIEND, KEN MELLONS, IS WILLING TO HELP BY GIVING ME A BENEFIT SHOW AND SAYS THAT THE ONLY THINGS IS, HE DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO GET ONE PUT TOGETHER. HE IS SO KIND, TO HELP ME AND CAN'T THANK HIM ENOUGH FOR HIS WILLINGNESS TO DO THIS. GOD BLESS HIM!!
I WILL FIND A WAY SOME HOW TO GET THIS GOING AND DO HAVE A BUNCH OF PEOPLE IN MIND, WHO LIVE CLOSE TO ME. THEY ARE FRIENDS THAT COULD HELP  AND KNOW THAT THEY WOULD BRING MORE TO IT. THEY ARE PEOPLE THAT I'VE SANG WITH  FOR YEARS, LIKE C.W. GATLIN AND TOMMIE GAIL KILLEBREW. THEY ARE WONDERFUL PEOPLE AND C.W HAS EVEN BEEN INDUCTED, TO THE ROCKIBILLY HALL OF FAME AND IS A WONDERFUL MUSICIAN. HIS SON, TOMMY GATLIN IS ALSO A GREAT DRUMMER THAT I NEED TO TALK TO. TOMMIE GAIL IS A WONDERFUL SINGER AND KNOW, THAT SHE WOULD BE A GOOD PART OF IT. SHE HAS A WONDERFUL VOICE AND KNOW, THAT SHE WOULD BE WILLING TO HELP. THERE ARE A LOT PEOPLE, WHO COULD HELP. MY DAD PLAYS THE BASE AND WOULD LOVE BEING A PART OF IT. 

BEING ILL DOESN'T HELP ME, FOR MY BRAIN HAS TROUBLE THINKING OR REMEMBERING THINGS. SO TO THINK FOR ME..IS HARD, BUT ON A ROLE TODAY...LOL :) I'M GLAD THAT I'M HAVING A PRETTY GOOD DAY. I DON'T HAVE MANY OF THEM, BUT ONLY WANT MORE OF THEM. I DON'T HAVE ANY MEMORY AND LYME IS BAD ABOUT TAKING IT FROM A PERSON. I AM TRYING TO FOCUS ON GETTING WELL, THAT IS THE ONLY WAY THAT I WILL EVER BE ME AGAIN AND HAVE TO FIGHT FOR WELLNESS.
ME, HERE ON A DECENT DAY. I STAY IN MY PJ'S AND MOSTLY AM CONFINED TO MY BED, DUE TO MY BACK ISSUES. I FEEL THAT MOST OF MY BACK ISSUES ARE CAUSED BY THE LYME AS WELL. IF IT GETS INTO YOUR SPINE, IT CAN CAUSE MANY PROBLEMS AND MUST FIGHT, TO GET IT OUT. 


AFTER TREATMENT, ALL OF MY BODY FUNCTIONS SHOULD COME BACK AND THINGS GO BACK TO NORMAL. PRAYING THAT I WILL BE ABLE...SOME HOW, TO DO THE THINGS THAT I NEED TO DO, TO GET BACK TO ME. 
GETTING THIS FUNDRAISER BENEFIT GOING, IS MY ONLY CHANCE AT GETTING ME BACK. I HAVE TO FIND A WAY TO GET THAT GOING AND IF, ANYONE IS WILLING TO PARTICIPATE, I WOULD APPRECIATE IT SOO MUCH!! :D
BECKY FREEMAN JACKSON, ANOTHER FRIEND FROM NASHVILLE, IS DONATING MONEY FROM SALES OF HER RODAN & FIELDS, TO MY CAUSE AND CAN'T THANK HER ENOUGH..FOR HELPING ME. ANY INCOME WILL HELP ME GET MY HEALTH BACK. LOVE YA BECKS. :)  
LORD, I PRAY THAT I CAN FIND A WAY TO GET RID OF THIS LYME. IF I CAN JUST DO THAT, I BELIEVE THAT I COULD HANDLE THE REST THAT IS WRONG WITH ME OR THAT MOST OF MY PROBLEMS WOULD DISSIPATE BECAUSE MOST OF MY PROBLEM IS THE LYME DISEASE. 
LORD, I JUST PRAY THAT YOU GIVE ME STRENGTH, TO GET WHAT I NEED TO DO...DONE. 
THANK YOU FOR THE MANY BLESSINGS OF YOUR LOVE.

Jesus LOVE you. He is coming back to receive us!!

We must not follow those, who change God's Word. Follow His Word, as IT is written and DO NOT change a thing.  
There are those, who do NOT teach His Word correctly and who are doing wrong. They are changing the words, for their benefit...and will be taken from The Lambs Book of Life.  
It is WRONG, any way that you look at it...IF you change the bible. We have to live by the Word...as it is written. He even states, at the end of the bible, for us NOT to add or take away from this book. 

Revelation 22:18-19King James Version (KJV)
18 For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:

19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.

Nothing May Be Added or taken away, from the bible. It is plain and simple.
Make sure that you are being taught correctly. Read it for yourself and you will know The Truth.  
We must keep God in our heart always...and do His will. Be Joyful..no matter what. If we read His word, we can't go wrong. Take it and apply it, in your life. IT only strengthens us and gives our body, the food that it needs to be strong..to carry one. Keep the faith. 
And..we must read it daily, for our Food. 

We should always ask for wisdom..for, He will give it to us and to pray unceasingly. 

1 Thessalonians 5:16-18English Standard Version (ESV)
16 Rejoice always, 17 pray without ceasing, 18 give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.

He will carry us forward, to His Kingdom..one day. He shall return to receive us, in the clouds...in the day of Rapture. It will come and we shall ALL know that God is our Creator and over all creation. The day of His return...we shall be on our knees. 
He only loves us and wants us all, to come to The Glory of God. He is waiting patiently, for us all to know Him.
To know Him...is to love Him. 
Always keep in touch with God and pray--talk with Him daily. He is a forgiving God.

Revelation 1:7
King James Bible
Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.

Daniel 9:9 King James Bible
To the Lord our God belong mercies and forgivenesses, though we have rebelled against him; 

Psalm 37:7-9 ESV 
Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him; fret not yourself over the one who prospers in his way, over the man who carries out evil devices! Refrain from anger, and forsake wrath! Fret not yourself; it tends only to evil. For the evildoers shall be cut off, but those who wait for the Lord shall inherit the land.

He gives us strength to carry on, each and every day. He also, gives us HOPE for a new day. Something that we ALL are looking forward to. 
God Bless all and keep the faith!! ^_^

ABOUT TO GO OUT OF MY MIND FROM PAIN. WHAT DO I DO?


I MIGHT BE SMILING HERE, BUT HAVE BEEN SO GOOD ABOUT NOT SHOWING MY PAIN. I CAN TOLERATE A LOT OF PAIN, BUT NOW...IT IS GETTING UNBEARABLE AND NEED TO GET TO THE ROOT OF THE PROBLEM AND GET IT FIXED. WHAT AM I GOING TO DO...THERE IS SO MUCH THAT IS WRONG WITH ME?

Such a difficult time for me!!! Dealing with JUST so much pain!! I have Lyme disease, systemic Candida, Addison's disease...and all of my back is affected and have a petrusion on my L4-L5. Sure feel like death. Just being honest and speaking the truth. I don't know, what is happening to me, but I'm so tired of dealing with all of it. IT is wearing me down and pray for The Lord, to get me well. 
The systemic candida  is the most likely cause of the Addison's that I'm dealing with. We are also dealing with a mold problem in our home and can't afford to get that fixed. Just don't have the income. That, in itself will keep me sick and I will never get well. 
Soooo lost, in a sea of PAIN..that can really bring a person to their knees and has me. I've always been such a positive person, but don't know what to do...anymore. Just so tired that I am plum give out. :/ 
On top of all of that, I'm dealing with all 5 layers of my back affected. THIS is EVER so hard to deal with and IT keeps me stuck in one spot in bed, where I can't move or the pain will increase. I know that I need surgery or some kind of treatment, that can reverse what is going on inside me. Been fighting this for years now...and it has taken it's toll on me. It is time, to get well. 
All that I want...is to be well, so that I can sing again, draw again, be a human being again.
I'm waiting on a call from the pain management facility...that my NL is trying to get me in to see and pray that they can get me in soon. I need to be diagnosed and treated, but it seems like it's taking forever for me to get in. It is so hard, for someone that feels like I do, to wait so long. :o
Taking such strong medication that's been prescribed, by my NL...that I really hate, but don't have a choice in the matter. The pain is that bad, but it's not covering all of the pain either, only covering 50 % of the pain. 
I truly believe that I'm dealing with some kind of infection or something...on my spine or CNS. It has to be bad...for, I feel like I'm dying I'm in so much pain. I know that I have to work on getting well, but don't see how I can even focus on it...from all that I'm dealing with...IT seems like tooo much on me!!!  :(
Asking for prayers...that The Lord will help me get back on my feet and have some kind of normal life again. 

Thank you ever so much and God Bless you, Karen

LIFE CHANGED

LIFE CHANGED..
People can judge you all day long...
but they haven't a clue, until they step in your shoes.
Before life changed...
things couldn't be more perfect.
I remember the sunshine and the gentle breezes..
The wonderful laughter that filled my soul..
and the smile on my face that never grew old.
Not having a care in the world...
but that was when, I was a young girl.
Life sure did change..
where did it all go?
Now, comes the rain...
and growing old.
Oh...I remember like it was yesterday
Yeah, but that was years ago.
How I long, for how the sunshine feels...
or the gentle breeze on my face. 
Nothing seems real anymore.
Only know of the pain that plagues me..
and how, it took it's place.
Of being in seclusion... 
lost in my own allusion
And..being away from the ones, I love...

is that my conclusion?

What things can mess with your hormones and what can naturally help them get back in balance?

Hormonal imbalances commonly occur before and around menopause. 
Hormone replacement therapy can cause an increase risk in Breast Cancer, Blood Clots in the Lung, Heart Attack & even Dementia. 
So many women are seeking natural remedies. Whole food sources of Soy-like Soybeans & Tofu, may decrease hot flashes. Not advised to take Soy supplements. A complete safety study has not been completed. 
Calcium & Vitamin D supplementation can help preserve bone mass. 


TIP # 1:
LIMIT EXPOSURE TO ANTI-BACTERIAL PRODUCTS.
They contain a harmful chemical called Triclosan. It is alright to use them under emergency circumstances and do not have any regular Soap around, but limit using it to only when, you have to.

TIP # 2:
USE SUNBLOCK INSTEAD OF SUNSCREEN.
Sunscreens used chemicals like Oxybenzone. They actually take a little time, to fully block the Ultraviolet Rays, where Sunblocks contains minerals block U-V Rays immediately.

TIP # 3:
USE GLASS INSTEAD OF PLASTIC FOOD & BEVERAGE CONTAINERS.
Plastic containers can contain chemicals that can act like the sex steroid Estrogen.

TIP # 4:
GET A FULL NIGHT'S SLEEP
Decreases a man's Testosterone.
The less sleep that you get also increases other problem areas like strokes or heart attacks. Always get more than 6 and less than 9. Anywhere between 7-8 are best.

TIP # 5:
EAT YOUR BROCCOLI
Cruciferous Vegetables like Broccoli contain ISOTHIOCYANATES.
ITC'S have been shown to decrease the expression of Estrogen responsive genes.
Eat your cruciferous veggies to lift the effect of Estrogen in the body.


Hopefully, this helps someone with their hormones to be more balanced. I sure know that mine are out of whack!!
If, I can do anything to help someone else fight this battle, I will. Live a healthier life, by eating the right natural foods and using the right natural products.

Why are my legs vibrating and pulsating? IT feels like I have an electrical current running through my body!! :O

WHAT IS CAUSING THE VIBRATING AND PULSATING ELECTRICAL CURRENT IN MY BODY?? MY LEGS WON'T STOP and NOW, HAVING THEM IN MY CHEST!! FEELS LIKE A CELL-PHONE IS LAYING THERE ON VIBRATE! 
Hello all, I am at my wits end with what I've been going through and need to see, if anyone else has been having these symptoms...and if, they could possibly be from being hit by a nerve block, Lyme or surgery?? 

Trying to figure out, which Doc I need to pay a visit to first. Not waste my time. 
The best way to explain it was that the Doc who did the NB's could have been the one, who caused ALL of this because of the leg involvement after the blocks. 

Being hit by a NERVE BLOCK is called a "Wet Tap". Literally...well, I donno about literally...but REALLY equated to it feeling like I was hit by a bolt of lightening. I jumped, when he struck my nerve...while doing the block. When I jumped on the table, I raised my head and asked him what had happened. He got quit and the only words he uttered were, "FRICTION." Still believe that has a big impact on what is going on with my legs because they NEVER stop pulsating, or vibrating. That can drive a person crazy because it is like RLS x 100. :o 

In my legs, dealing with spasms, cramps, burning and feels like my whole left calf is on fire. Mostly, they feel like they are vibrating or pulsating and sort of a throb. The symptoms are driving me crazy and feel electrical in some way. My legs literally feel like they have some sort of an electrical current going throughout them and up my body and down..back and forth. 

I am already worn out from not sleeping, just dealing with Lyme disease, but it doesn't explain my legs doing these weird things. The only thing that comes to mind is that, when I was hit by a nerve block back in '06, a few months after having the neck surgery on my C5-C6(ACD & F spinal Diskectomy). The surgery was done, but the pain still persisted. That caused me to go get nerve blocks, to deal with the pain. The pain just would never stop and was endless, but was dealing with it the best I could. The only bad symptom was that my arms would cramp and hurt, but after the nerve block...it moved into my legs. 

That nerve block, I believe did something to my nerve that is connected to my legs. 
Lyme in itself, is indicative for causing memory loss & insomnia, but just don't think that is what is causing this. I have been experiencing a fine tremor too that can't be explained either. 

It all started when my Chiro Doc friend sent a letter to the NS that did my surgery, to let him know that there was a screw on top of a nerve and could STILL be the problem. I just wished that I knew, if it is still a problem going on in my neck because my neck has these tight, taught knots that come up and are heck. 

He told me that I had a nerve trapped under a screw in my neck. I had an ACD & F spinal diskectomy back in '06 and my arm would burn then. He told me that if, I didn't get it off of that nerve that I would lose the use of my limbs. :o

But, can't EVEN get the NS to listen, that did my surgery. I took him a letter that my doc, who is a friend wrote, but the NS just handed it back to me...like it didn't mean anything. >:o WHY?? Couldn't he just LOOK at it? He didn't even examine me, he just sent me home without ANY answers to my questions. But, you know MOST NS...they SEEM to THINK, they everything there is to know..without investigating. Sorry, but everyone that I have run across since...to check it out, won't even listen to me. I don't understand. 

I do sleep, but only 4 hours at a time and then I wake up. Most nights, I only will sleep a couple of hours and wake up, for no reason. Have to take strong sleep medication, just to get that amount of sleep or might not ever sleep at all. WILL wake up every hour. What's so strange is that when I wake up...it is not pain that wakes me. I just wake up and don't feel anything different, just awake. It isn't that I have to go to the bathroom or anything. 
My memory.....short term is HORRIBLE and that is an understatement! The house could be on fire and I would forget in a sec or two. :o My head hurts a lot and not only headaches, but head pain. The pain is mostly on my temple area, but it has pain all over and feels awful. 

If, only I could figure out what is causing the problem, but don't trust JUST any Neurosurgeon to touch my back or neck. I've tried to find a good NS or NL and saw one NL for a while, but he didn't have any answers for me...only wanted to give me medication and told me to get plenty of rest. Yeah....I'll do that..not. Don't think that my body is not going to let me do that..it seems. :/ 

I do have a theory to what is causing the leg problem, but wanted to get it out there...to see if there are anyone else out there dealing with the same issue. So many things are wrong with me that I just don't have a clue, to where it is coming from. I do feel that one doc could be the one responsible for it.

PAINS, MEDICATIONS...AND SYMPTOMS...OF CONCERN.

                     
   
                          PAINS, MEDICATIONS...AND SYMPTOMS...OF CONCERN.

 I have many bad days due to my back in which I have learned to deal with and do not get outside much...as limited walking abilities and deal with fatigue a lot. At times, I wish that I could just throw out everything and hope one day I will weaned myself off and able to function like a normal person who wakes up refreshed and able to accomplish things. I just hating having to remember them all and the times of day. It is a pain...to just have to keep up with that. :o
Having to take meds...isn't a bit fun. Some have the mis-conceptions that having to take Morphine..is fun. No...I have to take it, but it comes in a pain patch. It is stronger than that they give you at the Hospital..supposedly..that is. I was so afraid to put my first patch on even. I was so afraid that I had to call my friend and ask him, what I was to expect. He said that I was over thinking it and to relax and just put it on that it would help control my pain. He was already taking a higher dose himself and was aware of what I was to expect...hopefully pain relief, for that was all that I needed. After, I relaxed and did as he said...and not think or worry @ it, it did seem to help and didn't bother me.
I have worn the Fentanyl patch for @ 6 years now and only upped my dose once. I actually went up to a higher dose one time, but it was short-lived. I just refused to raise it and after taking it for 2-3 months...titrated back down...to my second dose and have stayed there. I feel, no matter...I am gonna be in pain. I just have to endure some of it and face the pain. Yes, I do grit my teeth and bare a lot of pain and others don't see just how strong of a person..I really am. I could take the higher dose, but it is only going to call for an even higher dose later. SO, I decided that I was going to stay on a small dose and just deal with it. Some days are harder than others, but...I feel that I will need surgery or something, to get me back on my feet.  
 I do have to take a number of medications, but am trying to manage Fibromyalgia and Addison's disease, besides the numerous back herniations and pinched nerves. I think it more of being dependent on the prescription medications which is always a managing act to have a day where you are able to go out and get chores done. 
I am grateful to some of the natural alternatives that I have found! They really have given me more strength, to get through most of the hard days. I use essential oils that go through you olifactory nerves. Another words, you smell them and they are instantly working. My favorites are Peppermint..which, help me with Migraines, nausea and just smelling it..gives me a lift.  Sweet Basil...has joined the ranks too. It really boost my moral and helps with nausea. Lavender..is most people's favorite. It has such a lovely fragrance and is used for MANY different areas. But, I have so many oils that I use now that help me...I would be lost without them and their wonderful benefits. :)

For now deal with as less as possible to not to get to being so dependent and have any withdrawal symptoms. The fact that people who do not understand and think of your a drug addict is what really saddens me fo them not understanding all the things we go through in the bad days with flairs and with me a hurting back and heavy legs being all stiff and they do not understand those moments and days where it get so bad as you mainly are staying your home and go through periods of complete agony. And the only thing you can do is try to let it run its course and try things other than medications to get back, to a point where you can do things with dealing with any pain. The pain meds basically, just take off the edge and the Gabapentin(Neurontin) is helping me with with the nerve pain. Any friends or family that don't see...I stopped any explaining with them. They gonna think what they want to anyway...and I don't need to get stressed nor should I have to defend myself. 
It is sad really that so many are suffering and have to go through so much already...as it is. They really don't need the 12th degree, on how they deal with their pain.  




MY MEMORY these days...IS NOT DOING TO WELL. I FORGET..IN A SECOND OF WHAT IS GOING ON OR WHAT I was FOCUSED ON...OR/AND WHAT I SHOULD BE DOING. IT REALLY HAS ME CONCERNED OF WHAT IS GOING ON.. IS THIS SOMETHING THAT WILL EVER BE CORRECTED..OR WILL I BE LIKE THIS FOREVER? I mean...I KNOW THAT THE ADDISON'S IS PRETTY MUCH FOREVER...UNLESS, THEY DO FIND AN ADENOMA OR CYST ON MY PITUITARY..WHEN THEY DO the MRI, BUT..I AM PRAYING THAT THIS IS SOMETHING THEY CAN FIND IS CURABLE..OR FIXABLE.  IT IS WHY...I AM GOING TO DOCS...TO FIND, WHERE THE ROOT OF THIS PROBLEM LIES
SINCE, I APPARENTLY NEED TO WRITE DOWN EVERYTHING..THAT HAS BEEN HAPPENING TO ME. IF, I DON'T I WON'T REMEMBER. I KNOW, THAT IT SOUNDS RIDICULOUS, BUT IT IS TRUE THAT I JUST CAN'T RETAIN SOME THINGS AND IT IS HARD FOR ME TO RETRIEVE IT. I THINK, MY BRAIN FEELS EXHAUSTED AND OVERWORKED. I DO FEEL...HOWEVER, THAT SOMETHING IS WRONG AND HAS TO BE FOUND!! 
I AM EXPERIENCING WAY TO MUCH PAIN, BURNING, CRAMPING-MOSTLY IN MY CALF/FOOT MUSCLE AREA, BUT I HAVE MANY OTHER DEEP ROOTED PAINS. SOME EVEN FEEL VASCULAR AND MY BRAIN HURTS. I HAVE BEEN HAVING STRONG, SHARP PAINS THAT RUN THROUGH MY TEMPLE AREA MOSTLY, BUT HAVE PAIN OF ALL KINDS GOING ON IN MY HEAD. IT IS NOT THE SAME AS A HEADACHE...THESE ARE HEAD PAINS. 
I HAVE NOTICED THAT MY SPELLING HAS BEEN BACKWARDS, A LOT HERE LATELY. I MEAN, I COULD SPELL THE WORD COMPLETELY BACKWARD AND SOMETIMES, WILL DOUBLE THE LETTERS EVEN. ON OCCASION..I HAVE WRITTEN THE WORD..DOUBLE..BACK TO BACK..YES, THE SAME WORD. NOW, THAT IS NOT RIGHT AND I KNOW IT. I FIND MYSELF HAVING TO GO BACK OVER EACH AND EVERY LINE, TO MAKE SURE THAT I DIDN’T MISSPELL SOMETHING. 

WHEN, I USE MY MAIL AND COMPOSE A LETTER...IT HAS  AUTO CORRECT AND IT MAKES IT SOME EASIER. IF YOU MAKE A MISTAKE..IT CORRECTS IT.  I SHOULDN’T BE MAKING THOSE MISTAKES...IN THE FIRST PLACE. WHEN IN MY MIND...I SEE IT CORRECTLY, BUT ON THE PAPER WRITE IT DIFFERENTLY. (>Surprised smile)  I DON’T WANT TO MAKE THOSE MISTAKES. 
SOMETHING IS WRONG AND WITH THE PAIN THAT I AM HAVING IN MY BRAIN...IT MAKES ME WONDER, IF THERE ISN’T SOMETHING UP THERE..PRESSING ON SOMETHING THAT JUST HASN’T BEEN SEEN. MAYBE, IT IS SOME MICRO-ADENOMA OR SOME KIND OF CYST? I HAVE BEEN DX’D WITH AN EMPTY SELLA...AND THAT IS WHERE SOMETHING IS PRESSING ON YOUR PITUITARY. SO, IT IS VERY POSSIBLE THAT IT IS ONE OF THOSE THINGS THAT I MENTIONED EARLIER, BUT PRAY THAT IT IS NOT. THE ONLY THING IS...IF, IT IS...IT CAN BE REMOVED AND I MIGHT GO BACK TO HOW HEALTHY I WAS BEFORE. Hmmm...IT ALMOST SOUNDS LIKE IT WOULD BE BETTER. :o




BUT, I WANT WHATEVER IS WRONG..FOUND. WHAT’S SO BAD IS...THAT I CAN’T FIND A NEUROLOGIST, WHO CAN DIAGNOSE WHATEVER IS WRONG, IN MY BRAIN OR PITUITAY. I CAN’T FIND ONE PERIOD..OR A GOOD ONE THAT IS..WHO, KNOWS @ THIS PITUITARY ISSUE THAT I AM HAVING. 
     I HAVE TRIED SO HARD TO FIND ONE AND IT SEEMS UTTERLY IMPOSSIBLE AND I AM NOT GOING BACK TO SEMME’S AND MURPHY, IN MEMPHIS. I HAVE MADE UP MY MIND...THAT I JUST DON'T FEEL COMFORTABLE WITH THE TREATMENT THAT I RECEIVED, WHILE THERE. THIS WHOLE PROCESS STARTED, AFTER I HAD THAT SURGERY ON MY NECK. I KNOW THAT I NEEDED THE SURGERY, BUT IT WAS DONE BY SOMEONE(NS) THAT I DIDN’T EVEN CHOSE. I WAS BEING SEEN BY A DIFFERENT DOC, WHO TOLD ME THAT HE WAS DOING MY SURGERY, NOT THIS OTHER DOC.  I HAVE GONE BACK SEVERAL TIMES AND PLEADED FOR HIM TO GO IN AND LOOK OR TO MAKE ABSOLUTELY SURE THAT EVERYTHING WAS FINE FROM THE C5-C6 SPINAL DISKECTOMY, BUT HE WOULDN’T GO IN AND LOOK. 


     NOW, I STAY SWOLLEN IN MY NECK A LOT AND THE PAIN IS ALMOST UNBEARABLE AT TIMES. BELOW, WHERE HE DONE THE LAST SURGERY(C5-C6), I AM IN AGONY. THAT AREA...CAN’T EVEN BE TOUCHED AND I DON’T KNOW WHAT TO DO.  ALSO, HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT I HAD A TUMOR IN MY NECK, RIGHT WHERE THERE IS AN "X" THAT MARKS THE SPOT ABOVE. Hmm...MAKES ME WONDER, WHAT IS GOING ON IN MY MUSCLES, TO CAUSE SUCH HAVOC!!  >:o
I TRY SO HARD TO STAY POSITIVE AND HOPEFUL THAT SOON, I WILL FIND A GOOD NEUROLOGIST, BUT FOR NOW..I AM STUCK HERE AND IN THIS MISERY. I EVEN HAVE WRITTEN “THE DOCTORS” IN HOPES THAT THEY WILL BE ABLE TO HELP ME FIND A NEUROLOGIST...OR POSSIBLY, WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME. I MUST ADMIT THAT IT WOULD BE GREAT, IF THEY COULD GET ME EXAMINED AND DIAGNOSED PROPERLY...TO WHAT IS TAKING MY LIFE FROM ME.   

     WELL, I AM SKIPPING AROUND IT SEEMS AND AM BACK TO THE DOUBLE LETTERS ISSUE, BUT IT IS SOMETHING THAT IS REALLY BOTHERING ME. I AM ALREADY HAVING TROUBLE WITH MY SHORT-TERM MEMORY..NOW, THIS SKIPPING. MY BRAIN ACTUALLY FEELS LIKE IT HAS SOME ELECTRICAL RHYTHM TO IT AND LIKE IT SKIPS..LIKE A RECORD DOES, ON A TURNTABLE. SOMETIMES...IT IS MORE NOTICEABLE THAN OTHERS, BUT IT HAS DONE THIS FOR A WHILE NOW AND SEEMS LIKE, IT IS GETTING WORSE. AT FIRST, IT WAS LIKE A SMALL THUMP..EVERY NOW AND THEN, BUT IT HAS INCREASED IN INTENSITY AND FREQUENCY. IT DOES FEEL LIKE A RHYTHM OF SORT, BUT PULSATING. WHEN IT COMES TO THINKING OR DOING, IT CAN GO FROM ONE THING, TO THE NEXT AND SEEMS LIKE I CAN’T CONTROL THAT..SOMETIMES. (Surprised smile) I GET CONFUSED EASILY, IRRITATED AND IN A FOG. I WILL SMILE AND TRY, BUT INSIDE I FEEL LIKE CRYING.
    WHAT I AM GOING THROUGH..CAN REALLY CAN BE SCARY, BUT I DON’T KNOW WHAT TO DO. I FEEL LOST AT TIMES AND LIKE I AM IN SOME DEEP DARK HOLE AND NEED SOMEONE TO PULL ME OUT. NOT LITERALLY, MIND YOU...BUT A PERSON CAN ONLY HANDLE SO MUCH. I AM SO GRATEFUL THAT GOD IS WITH ME...OR I DON'T THINK THAT I WOULD BE HERE. I REALLY DO BELIEVE THAT AND THE LORD ALWAYS COMFORTS ME, IN MY TIME OF NEED. 
SOMETIMES, I FEEL LIKE I AM HANGING FROM A CLIFF, FROM ALL THE STRESS IN MY LIFE AND I KNOW THAT IT SOUNDS LIKE I AM UNDER AN EXTREME AMOUNT OF STRESS AND MAYBE, THIS COULD BE ANXIETY RELATED. NOPE...I LET GOD HAVE ALL MY STRESS. WELL, I AM NOT GOING TO LIE AND SAY THAT I DON'T HAVE STRESS...BUT I KNOW THAT GOD IS THERE AND HE ALWAYS TAKES IT FROM ME...AND COMFORTS ME. 
HE IS WHO...THAT GETS ME THROUGH IT ALL. (Smile) 




BUT, @ MY FINGER RIGOR OR JERK. IT IS BAD AND I HAVE NOTICED...GETTING WORSE. DUE TO THE FINGER ON MY RIGHT HAND...I WILL WRITE DOUBLE TRIPPLE OR MORE..seee, I LEFT IT...AND IT CAN BE THAT BAD, WHERE I CAN'T CONTROL IT. 
ALSO, I EXPERIENCE A CONSTANT TREMOR, MOST TIMES IT IS IN MY UPPER BODY, BUT ON OCCASION HERE LATELY....I HAVE BEEN FEELING IT IN MY LEGS TOO. (Sad smile)  MUST SAY...THAT IT IS A MISERABLE FEELING AND CLOSELY RESEMBLES "RLS". 
MY LEFT HAND HAS BECOME COMPLETELY IMMOBILE AT TIMES AND WHEN, YOU CAN’T MOVE YOUR HAND OR MAKE A FIST AT ALL, THEN IT MAKES YOU WONDER..."WHAT IS GOING ON??" IT MAKES ME THINK @ THAT SURGERY IN MY NECK AGAIN...AND IF, THEY COULD POSSIBLY LEFT SOMETHING ON TOP OF A NERVE. I WAS TOLD THAT THEY DID, BUT I CAN'T PROVE IT. I ONLY HAVE THE WORD OF A WELL-RESPECTED CHIRO THAT DONE SOME X-RAYS AND SEEN, WHERE IT WAS PRESSING ON MY BRACHIAL PLEXUS.  YOU CAN UNDERSTAND, IF...SOMETHING TAKES YOUR LIFE...AND DOES WITH IT WHAT IT WANTS...YOU ONLY WANT RESOLUTION. 
I DON'T HAVE CONTROL OVER THESE THINGS.WHEN, MY LEFT HAND HAS THIS PARALYZED FEELING..I CAN’T STAND ANYONE TO TOUCH THAT HAND. IT FEELS SO STRANGE AND CAN'T STAND ANYONE TO MESS WITH IT. IT DOES NOT FEEL LIKE IT IS MY OWN HAND, IT FEELS FOREIGN. 
MY RIGHT FINGER IS SIMILAR, BUT IT HAS A MIND OF ITS OWN. IT WILL JERK AND MOVE ON ITS OWN AND SO, DOES MY RIGHT SHOULDER. I CAN’T CONTROL IT. MY HANDS FEEL SO WEAK AND MY LEFT HAND HAS LOST COMPLETE FUNCTION SEVERAL TIMES. I WILL HAVE TO JUST LAY IT ASIDE, ON A PILLOW OR SOMETHING. I CAN'T USE IT...IT FEELS SO STRANGE AND USELESS. 
I SURE HOPE THAT THIS ISN'T MY HEART. PLEASE GOD, DON'T LET IT BE MY HEART. I HAVE SEEN A CARDIOLOGIST, BUT IT WAS LAST YEAR AND HE DONE ALL THE TESTS..BUT, I DIDN'T GET TO WEAR THAT MONITOR THINGY. I WAS SUPPOSE TO, BUT I DONNO WHAT HAPPENED? I CALLED BACK A LITTLE LATER AND HE WAS RETIRING. OH, NOW THAT WOULD EXPLAIN WHY I DIDN'T GET TO FINISH. 
ALL OF MY OTHER TEST THAT HE DONE WERE GOOD AND NORMAL, SO I DIDN'T FEEL AT THAT TIME, I NEEDED TO BE REFERRED OVER TO ANOTHER ONE...DUE TO HIS RETIREMENT, BUT...I SURE WISH NOW THAT I WOULD HAVE GOT TO WEAR THAT MONITOR(24hr), JUST TO MAKE ABSOLUTELY SURE.   
ALSO, I AM HAVING TROUBLE MAKING MY HANDS AND LEGS DO, WHAT MY BRAIN WANTS THEM TO DO. I WILL GET CONFUSED EASILY, OVERWHELMED AND CAN'T FOCUS WELL. ALSO, OTHER THINGS THAT I DO ARE BACKWARD. SAY..IF, I GO INTO A ROOM, TO DO SOMETHING...AND THE LIGHTS ARE ON...I WILL TURN THEM OFF. :O I DON'T KNOW WHY I AM DOING THAT AND THERE ARE OTHER THINGS THAT I NOTICED, I AM DOING. IF, IT IS TIME TO TAKE MY MEDICINE, I WON'T TAKE IT...BUT HAVE NOTICED THAT I WILL HOLD THE MEDICINE IN MY HAND. I HAVE EVEN HELD IT IN MY MOUTH. WHY?? I DONNO WHY. I WILL HOLD MY BREATH SOMETIMES AND DON'T EVEN REALIZE THAT I AM DOING IT. THERE ARE A LOT OF THINGS THAT NEED TO BE ANSWERED.  

I HAVE NOTICED THAT ....I CAN THINK AND DO SOMETIMES...BUT, IF I DON'T REACT FAST...I WILL GO TO SOMETHING ELSE AND FORGET @ IT ENTIRELY. IF, SOMEONE CALLS AND I HAVE TO TELL THEM SOMETHING IMPORTANT...I BETTER DO IT QUICKLY OR THEY WON'T GET TOLD. I WILL FORGET...AND IT DOESN'T MATTER HOW IMPORTANT IT IS. THIS WORRIES ME... 
SO MANY THINGS GOING ON IN MY BODY. MY MUSCLES WON’T FUNCTION PROPERLY AND SEEM LIKE THEY HAVE A MIND OF THEIR OWN. I AM SO EXHAUSTED BY IT ALL AND IT IS MOST DAYS THAT I FEEL THIS WAY. AT LEAST, 9 OUT OF 10 DAYS...ARE PRETTY ROUGH. ALL I WANT TO BE..IS HEALTHY AGAIN AND ABLE TO GO AND DO, WITH MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS.  
HERE LATELY...WHAT HAS BEEN DRIVING ME CRAZY IS THAT I AM SO FORGETFUL. IT IS SO BAD..THAT IF, I DON'T BLURT SOMETHING OUT THAT IS ON MY MIND, I WILL FORGET. I DON’T HAVE MUCH TIME TO GET SOMETHING OUT OF MY MOUTH AND IT MAKES IT HARD TO GET ANYTHING DONE. I CAN'T RETAIN ANYTHING, IT SEEMS. I HAVE TO BLURT A LOT OUT AND HATE DOING THAT...BUT, IF I DON'T I WILL LOSE IT. I WILL LITERALLY LOSE TRACK ENTIRELY OF WHAT I WAS EVEN TALKING @...OR WHAT I WANTED TO SAY. 
COULD THIS BE AN INFECTION OF SOME SORTS? I AM WONDERING, SINCE I HAVE SO MANY SYMPTOMS THAT IT SEEMS LIKE IT IS SYSTEMIC.(THROUGH-OUT THE BODY) IT SEEMS LIKE IT AFFECTS EVERY SYSTEM THAT I POSSESS.  IT COULD BE MY CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM THAT IS AFFECTED, BUT I CAN'T FIND A GOOD NEUROLOGIST, TO RULE THAT OUT AND THIS IS GETTING MONOTONOUS. I DO KNOW THAT MY MOTOR SKILLS, SPEECH, VISION, MEMORY, FORETHOUGHT, DEPTH-PERCEPTION, BALANCE, GAIT, INVOLUNTARY MUSCLE MOVEMENTS, SPELLING, WRITING AND THINKING PROCESS, ETC...ARE ALL AFFECTED. THEY ARE OUT OF WHACK AND I AM CONCERNED. THE REASON I SAY...THE ETC...IS IT GOES DEEP AND FWHEEEW..IS ALL THAT I CAN SAY. BELIEVE IT OR NOT...BECAUSE THERE IS SO MUCH MORE TO THIS...THAN, JUST WHAT I HAVE SAID.  
I JUST WANT TO KNOW WHERE THIS IS ORIGINATING FROM AND WHAT I CAN DO TO STOP IT. 
THANKS FOR LISTENING TO MY VENTING...BUT, AS YOU CAN SEE...I DO HAVE SOMETHING TO BE CONCERNED @. 
MAY GOD BLESS YOU AND KEEP YOU. Smile

THIS LEG PAIN IS KILLING ME!!!!

Soo TIRED of this LEG pain!!! IT JUST WON'T STOP!! I can stress it enough..on HOW  bad and painful this is. >:o
What is causing them to feel such an intense deep ache? And, they feel almost raw and tight...like someone has whipped them with bolts of a whip. I can't use them too much either..they constantly stay tensed up. It almost feels like it could be the veins that's on fire. It is like they have been roped up for a week or bound and someone taking my knee cap off. Besides, all of the pain underneath the knee. 
Literally, they feel THAT bad, but here I lay...@ to go out of my mind with this stuff...or so, I think. I am getting head pain on top of it...with pins/needles and numbness and sharp stabbing pains..on my face. Ughhh...so tired of this stuff. I try...each and every day to battle this, but must admit that it is taking it's toll on me. :'( 
Taking my hot bath early tonight...I need relief of ANY kind. 
It is wearing me down guys...just from dealing with all of it...all of the time. IT is just relentless and the cramps are so deep that I can feel them all the way through to inside of my feet. Do you remember how it felt..when, you were a kid...and someone would THUMP your ear? Well, I get that deep THUMP sensation...down the backside of BOTH of my legs and IT is painful. :o 
IT is horrible and I know that there HAS to be an answer to this MISERY!!! I am mentally exhausted from dealing with it. Today...I started itching really bad, on my arms...and after,  I scratched so intently... BOTH arms felt like they were swollen and on fire!!! CRAZY...is what it is and I don't understand WHAT it is going to take to figure it out or what I need to do anymore to make this end!!! 
Sorry for complaining, but guys...I am exhausted by this and at the END of my rope. I need your help to figure this out...because I don't know what to do anymore. Anyone..have any ideas of what this is...or questions? I just need ideas from anyone, who knows what these symptoms are telling me. :P

ANSWERS...THAT IS WHAT I WANT TO KNOW!!! WHAT IS AT THE ROOT OF ALL THIS??

 ANSWERS...THAT IS ALL I WANT. WHY CAN'T SOMEONE TELL ME WHERE MY PROBLEMS ARE COMING FROM? WHICH, ONE OF THESE ARE THE CULPRITS? IS IT THE CHIARI MALFORMATION, THE AVM, THE ADDISON'S DISEASE, THE FIBROMYALGIA...THE SURGERY ON MY NECK..OR THE ONE IN MY LEFT JAW? WELL, LOOKS LIKE WE MAY NEVER KNOW...BUT, I WOULD LIKE TO...BEFORE, ONE OF THEM DOES ME IN...

I am still in bed most days. If, I do anything...to use a muscle. And, BASICALLY..ANYTHING THAT WE DO...REQUIRES THE USE OF A MUSCLE. 
All the many MUSCLES IT TAKES TO MOVE!!! UGGHH,..YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND..IT HURTS... :"(
It is hard for me to reach even. I have days where I just lay in bed and wonder what happened to my life. I never envisioned being stuck in bed. I am an outgoing person..one who likes to be around people. I sing..or I did sing. Now, I dream. 
When, I...finally got dx'd with Addison's, I thought I would be so much better..but, I am still having a lot of problems and episodes. Since, we talked last...I have had a few episodes that really worry me. I woke up one night..tingling all over...heavily, like hard raindrops were hitting every part of my body. My face was extra numb..because it stays numb on the left side all the time. So, this was extraordinarily strong and noticed that my tongue was getting number and I thought that I felt pressure to go to the restroom and got up. When, I did...the room went dark and it was spinning. I felt like I was going to faint. I thought, if I went to the restroom...maybe, I would feel better...but, I was wrong. I didn't feel better and knew that if, I didn't lay down on the floor...I was going to hit it! I lay there and I prayed. I really thought that I was a goner. I wanted it to go away and I got up and made my way to my husband..who, was sound asleep at 4am. He didn't hear me say, "Call 911. I need to go to the Hospital." But, I wound up laying on the floor again and he covered me up and gave me a pillow. I woke up the next morning on the sofa. I was fine and didn't feel bad at all. I don't understand what happened to me. I found out that an "Empty Sella" is more than what I  had thought. It is over the Pituitary...and I have Addison's..and just trying to put all the pieces together. I
have severe tension and pain..at the back of my head. It feels like someone has a fist balled up...and I am laying on it. IT does not feel good and it is hard to get a comfortable position to rest. It is hard for me to lay on my left side, because I seem to get more numb. I also have a lot of pain over my temples, mostly left...and if, there is pressure over my Pit..then, couldn't that mean I could have a cyst or something there that they are missing like cerebrospinal fluid filling my Pituitary. 
Another thing..is that my eyes get so blurry sometime. And, I keep an Aura around my eyes. Everything gives off a glare. I keep my room darker and the computer screen brightness set darker. I also got that Flux something or another that automatically will adjust my screen to the time of day. It helps. I just want to find what is going on before anything bad happens. I feel that I need to push forward with this. I don't need to ignore it. So, I just pray that I gave enough clues to others out there...that could possibly know where this is coming from. I would appreciate any comments on it.
Oh..I forgot to mention that I have sore spots that come up on my head..especially, where I got hit in a Car Accident. I was hit on the top of my head, when the guy hit something in the road..and I hit the roof of the Car with my head. I will literally get a goose egg up on the same area. Also, the other sore areas are random areas on my head and they feel like someone has pulled my hair or how it feels, after you take a poney-tail holder out and all that area is sore. I will get these little hard balls on my scalp too. Usually, they are on my temples or over my ears..on my head.
By the way, what is a mastoid effusion? I have that too. I guess, I need to look that one up too. My memory is so bad that I forget everything. I have a good long term memory, but short...nope. IT is not there. I get sooooo frustrated by it!!!
I don't want that episode thingy again...IT was horrible. :o 
I hurt under my left ear too, but since I had surgery...I just feel it is adhesions or something. Could it be that the adhesions from the surgery...are causing complications somewhere? 
I have pain over the left back side of my head. Where the AVM is..so, it is close to the Chiari...and the Empty Sella...and also, where I had a bone spur removed from my left ear. So, where is my problem coming from? Which one would be responsible...or all? :P I just want answers and get to the BOTTOM of it. Also, I had an ACD & F, which is a spinal diskectomy of my C5-C6 and that could even be a part of all this...since, a doc did say that my neck is swollen and others say it too. It is visible and I feel it. It will get tight and knots up too..in the muscles there. I have to rub Moxibustion on it and that helps loosen the intensity some. The leg pain is intense too and all day, I run the massager part on my adjustable bed. I don't know what I would do without it. I have actually burned one motor up..and that is no lie. Seriously, I had to call the manufacturer My legs are that bad and what i worry..is that the Docs just don't see how bad things really are, but I smile through the pain..if, I can. IF i am having a bad day...I might can cover, but the really bad ones..I am in bed. And, that massager is running. 
And, to add to the mix...my JAW is hurting..right beside the bone spur surgery. I don't know where this is coming from????

THIS IS HOW I USED TO LOOK AND YOU COULD SEE THAT I FELT GOOD AND WAS IN NO PAIN. I WAS WORKING AT OPRYLAND, SINGING AND DANCING IN A SHOW CALLED COUNTRY MUSIC USA. THE BEST SHOW IN THE PARK...AS THEY WOULD SAY. :o
I MISS FEELING GOOD AND BEING LIVELY. 

I need to know...What should I do? Where should I go? I have seen where there are wellness places that boost a person's immune system and show them how to eat...for wellness. Like a place called
"Hipocrates"  I would love to go there. Maybe, they could revive my life.
 "Your food is your medicine and your medicine your food." But, I can't afford that and know that I would benefit...but I have to decide, which I need to seek out to do first. Oh, I donno..things are mighty hard around here and my mom/dad are in their 70's and mom is already sick herself. I just don't want to add to any more that is already going on. "There is enough trouble in a day." AND...NOT ENOUGH HOURS. 
I need to find a Doc that knows what this is. If, it is my Pituitary(Addison's), CM, AVM or the ACD & F, or the ear surgery.(Bone spur removed from there). How am I going to do that? What the heck? hmmm...a definite canumdrum....HELP!! 
YOU CAN SEE JUST WHAT ALL...THAT I AM DEALING WITH. A LOT AND SO FRUSTRATED TOO, BECAUSE IT IS TAKING SO LONG...TO GET WELL, BUT I AM A FIGHTER AND A PATIENT PERSON. THANK GOD...AND HE WILL GIVEME THE STRENGTH THAT I NEED TO MAKE IT THROUGH ANYTHING. :D
WILL CONTINUE..FOR HOW EVER LONG IT TAKES...TO GET THERE TO WELLNESS.

Thank any who took the time to read all what I deal with. Sorry, if I skip or anything...I have a bad memory and get frustrated. I get confused easily and irritated, edgy...but patient and won't say anything. I will just get quiet. Oh...I hope someone knows something..because HERE..WE GO!
God Bless you. I just pray that some how, I will find that right Doc...who can give me the answer to the root of the problem. So that I can get on with living. :)

WE SHOULD SEE HOW BLESSED WE ARE. Psalms 33:4-22



What the LORD says is right and true.
He is faithful in everything he does.
The LORD loves what is right and fair.
The earth is full of his faithful love. 

The heavens were made when the LORD commanded it to happen.
All of the stars were created by the breath of his mouth.
He gathers the waters of the sea together. 
He puts the oceans in their places.
Let the whole earth have respect for the LORD.
Let all of the people in the world honor him.

The LORD blocks the sinful plans of the nations. 
He keeps them from doing what they want to do.
But the plans of the Lord stand firm forever.
What he wants to do will stand for all time. 

Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD.
Blessed are the people he chose to be his own.
From heaven the LORD looks down and sees everyone.
From his thrown he watches all those who live on the earth.
He creates the hearts of all people. 
He is aware of everything they do.

A king isn't saved just because his army is big.
A soldier doesn't escape just because he is very strong. 
People can't trust a horse to save them either.
Though it is very strong, It can't save them.
But the LORD looks with favor on those who respect him.
He watches over those who put their hope in his faithful love.
He watches over them to save them from death.
He wants to keep them alive when there is no food in the land. 

We wait in hope for the LORD.
He helps us. He is like a shield that keeps us safe.
Our hearts are full of joy because of him.
We trust in him, because he is holy.
Lord, may your faithful love rest on us. 
We put our hope in you. 
(Psalms 33: 4-22)



LIFE IS A BLESSING FROM GOD...AND WE NEED TO SHOW RESPECT TO THE LORD. HE CREATED US AND GIVES US THE BREATH...THAT WE USE TO BREATHE. 
IF, YOU LOOK AROUND...YOU KNOW THAT GOD IS OUR CREATOR..AND THE SALVATION TO OUR SOULS.
GOD BLESS ALWAYS. :)
