Well, here I am again and it has been a very long time since I was last on here. I have been going thru so much since the last time I was online. It is so much I dont know where to start. I really thank everyone that did respond and answered my requests, but this request is the hardest one of them all. Well, Im 41 yrs old now and my health is getting worse and worse. I have been in and out of the hospitals several times and now my pacemaker that I have in my stomach has maxxed out completely and I have fallen back to square one and the doctors dont have any more choices but to take my stomach completely out. I am so upset and depressed till all I do now is cry, they want me to find support groups but I dont kno any groups plus my fiance keeps me on the road with him, but when I get ready for the surgery I will be at home. This is going to be so rough but I kno that my sweetie got to work and my daughter has to go to school. I need a lot of prayer and plus our finances are getting depleted and I cant find any programs that can help us out. It is so hard on us and I kno this, my family tries to be strong but its so hard. With me crying all the time is keeping my blood pressure up but I dont know what to do. I jus need some more people I can talk to instead of my daughter and my fiance all the time. Well, let me close up to take medicine cause Im starting to hurt right now. if anyone want my number feel free to ask me and Ill give it so I can talk to someone.
E., I have a friend who had her stomach removed in May of last year and I know she could use a friend who is in the same boat. If interested let me know I'll get you her email address.Heres my email

I googled around for support groups without knowing the name for your specific diagnosis and got these leads for local groups.

Being chronically ill must be such a horrible experience; I can't even imagine what you are going through. But you have to find a way to be strong for yourself and for your daughter. Focus of the positive things in your life. The fact that you found a wonderful man who loves you just the way you are says a lot about the valuable person that you are. I can't give you any advice to heal your physical pain, but you do not have to live with emotional pain. It's good that you are reaching out for help. That means you are ready to make a change. Contact some support groups, but why are you opposed to therapy? Therapists are there to help you heal yourself. You can be happy and whole. Believe in yourself and hang in there!
Hello,
Prayer is unbelieveable. God bless you.
E.,
Have you talked to a church? Usually the pastor would know of someone who knows someone who can help. I can't imagine what you are going through, but you are hanging on and that is excellent. I don't your religious beliefs, but mine is clinging to the name of Jehovah-Jirah, the Lord Provides. In every situation, praying that name and asking God to show you what it means really can give you a peace that no matter what is going on in your life, God is still in control and it will work out for His glory. I'll put you on our prayer list and if someone at my church knows of a group I'll send you an e-mail. God Bless.
I am so sorry for you life experiances and the things you are going though right now. We all seem to get ups and downs its part of life. It sounds to me like you REALLY need to ask God to heal you and to bring happiness back to your life. Dont feel sorry for yourself and kick some butt. God only helps those who help themselves. Find a church you can go to, PRAY
From the sounds of it you do need some form a therapy. You ARE depressed and have a lot going on. Depression can and does manifest itself in physical illnesses! Not all therapists want to "mess with your head" they will listen and offer suggestions and teach you coping skills. Antidepressants would be helpful. Also, you need to seriously sit down and arrange a conference with ALL your doctors and a pharmacist, 37 medicines is entirely TOO MUCH! I'm sure the interactions between them is causing additional unecessary symptoms. Are they all aware of EVERYTHING you are on? By your description are you paraplegic or otherwise physically challenged? I wish you luck and hope you find the help you need.
Dear E. - God Bless you, give you healing, answers, and peace. N.
E.,
I feel compelled to respond to your out cry for help. You've been through a lot, more that most have experienced in a lifetime. I do get the feeling that you have identified your sickness with who you are and the two are different. Your body is one thing and your spirit is totally different, free and whole.
I'm a life and career coach and it's my purpose in life to help women understand their worth and importance because so many people depend on us. You are so valuable and only you can make yourself feel this way.
Do you like to read? If so, pick up a book called The Secret by Rhonda Bryne. It's a great book that helps give you such hope and a new outlook on life. It teaches the creative process of asking, believing and recieving and how to attract only the things in life you desire and how the mind is so powerful, even powerful enough to heal, to think yourself well.
I'm also a trained counselor and it's okay when life's problems are too much for you to handle alone. A trained professional doesn't want to get inside your head, they want to help you experience peace inside your head and heart.
Best of luck to you,
M.
I would suggest that you first seek help thru prayer and then contact one of your local churches for help. I know our church offers support groups. I'm sure you will find someone who can talk with you.
Good Morning....sorry to hear all that you went through and all that you're going through....I would love to talk to you or even meet you if you're in the DC metroplitan area. I will keep you in my prayers and please keep in touch @ ____@____.com

E.,

Sending you truck loads of beary hugs!
