Hey friends.

I want to thank those of you who have prayed for me regaurding my illness. I was originally diagnosed with rheumatic fever, then was led to believe its lymes disease. However we are still reaching dead ends everywhere we turn.

RF has been ruled out. Lymes in some form may be a possibility. But we really have no clue.

I am still in quite a bit of pain, and have reached a point where I struggle to keep my meals down. I just feel sick all the time, and I really hate it.

I am seeing a new doctor, and this one, unlike the last two, actually seems to want to help and find out what is causing this. I had a bunch of blood drawn (4 1/2 large tubes and 2 small ones!) and they are running a bunch of tests on it. I am also going to have my hands x-rayed to see if there is any visiable damage to the joints or bones (due to the pain and whatever is causing it).

I'll admit that my spirits have been awfully low. This is a difficult time for me. Its my sister's birthday, the one in heaven, on Monday. So that added to the fact I have been sick for 3 months is less then joyous. I'm just worn out. Tired of fighting.

If you will continue to pray I would be post grateful. Pray for wisdom for the doctors and peace for me and my family.

Thanks,
Lindsay

That... Is very sad. I am glad it is not the fever, and I pray it is not Lhymes! I shall keep you in prayer.

Don't give up Lindsay! God's will shall be done, remember that. And he loves you very much!
