Some of you know this, some may not know. I've been struggling with my health since being back from Swaziland. It began while I was in the country living with Pastor Gift and his family. My body wasn't used to eating how the Swazi people cook causing my digestive system to go crazy as well as an undiagnosed "lung infection." It got to the point where I couldn't keep anything in my stomach ultimately leading to a drastic drop in weight. I came back to Texas and living in the dorms helped me put some pounds back on, however my system just hasn't been the same. I've spent a lot of time in doctors' offices, trying yet another medication to mask the symptoms, have undergone CT scans, gastric emptying tests, different types of "-oscopies", stool samples, blood work and all the doctors come back to the same thing. There is nothing wrong. This has been a source of frustration for me. I'm 26 and have something like 15 prescriptions for various symptoms. The majority of my labs and tests have come back normal (or negative) except for maybe a few things here and there...nothing major. I've had some suggest that it is all in my head, or that I'm not believing in God's healing power and I am beginning to believe that I may just be crazy. I have another appointment in the morning with an infectious disease doctor. I'm praying that I will find a doctor knowledgeable in African parasites or illnesses. My medical bills are stacking up for "negative results" and I'm exhausted in all aspects of being poked, prescribed and being told I'm fine from various doctors. Please pray with me (or for me) that the doctors will be able to figure something out. Thank you all for your continued support and prayers.ย
