Friends,
Please remember in your prayers the servant of God CAROLYN, my sister, who has barely eaten anything in the past week due to an as yet undiagnosed stomach condition. It's not the flu and the anti-nausea medication isn't helping. She's going in for some more tests tomorrow.

Of all things that it could be, it most certainly is not that. My sisters will most likely forever remain the "Spinster Aunts" of my nieces and nephews  She's getting her tests done as I type this. Hopefully we'll hear something soon. Thank you all for your prayers. |

Excellence of character, then, is a state concerned with choice, lying in a mean relative to us, this being determined by reason and in the way in which the man of practical wisdom would determine it. Now it is a mean between two vices, that which depends on excess and that which depends on defect.

My prayers for Carolyn. I just got over a stomach illness that lasted 2 weeks and with all the testing they did all they could say is that it was some kind of virus. That's why sometimes I depend more on prayers than doctors.

When they did my ultrasound they found that I have an enlarged liver that was caused by non alcoholic fatty liver disease. I wouild have been better off financially at least, if they found that I was pregnant. |

Friends,
Please remember in your prayers the servant of God CAROLYN, my sister, who has barely eaten anything in the past week due to an as yet undiagnosed stomach condition. It's not the flu and the anti-nausea medication isn't helping. She's going in for some more tests tomorrow. May I suggest she have allergy testing for food allergies. It was this type of symptom, along with a tremendously bad case of heart burn and a trip to the ER which got that ball rolling for me. Eighteen months later with serious avoidance of allergic foods and I feel like a new person. Lord have mercy on your handmaiden Carolyn. |

Once again, thank you for all your prayers. As an update, she had an endoscopy/biopsy today. The new specialist thinks it may be some form of gastritis caused by bacterial infection. She's lost 20 pounds over the past month as she's barely eaten anything substantial due to the nausea. test results are due beginning of next week. We're mostly praying now for patience in dealing with inept medical professionals  |

thank you all for your continued prayers for my sister.
She was finally diagnosed with a bacterial infection that was also causing acid reflux. She's on two antibiotics and something else at the moment. Why it took a month to diagnose a condition which seems pretty obvious to my untrained eye from the getgo, I don't know. However, she's getting better and will hopefully be able to regain some of the 30 pounds she lost over the past month quickly.
Thank you again and let us give glory to God!

A wonderful blessing Schultz. Praise God your sister finally has an answer. I too have bad reflux and it is a funny problem. Mine causes asthma-like symptoms and inner ear problems. Your sister is going to have to do some investigative work to figure out what triggers her symptoms, what foods she should avoid, even changing her sleep positions (left side not right side, bed blocks to raise the head of the bed, no sleeping on multiple pillows, etc..).

New update.
My sister-in-law finally dragged my sister to Johns Hopkins here in Baltimore due to her continued weight loss and the fact that she still doesn't really feel any better even though she's completed the treatment. Ironically enough, it's the same hospital my mother-in-law is in (for her heart trouble, if you've been following my requests!) so tonight we'll be able to hit two birds with one stone, so to speak.
JH is often noted as the best hospital in the US so she's in good hands finally.
Your continued prayers for CAROLYN are much appreciated.

Update.
We're still not sure what's going on totally. A CAT scan showed that food is simply not moving from her stomach into the rest of the GI system. She has wicked gird which is causing a certainly understandable reticence in eating most anything in those times when she actually is hungry. She'll find out the results of the latest tests in a couple of days. The hardest part is, of course, not knowing what is going on. All the diagnoses so far have either been outright wrong or only half right. While my sister is understandably depressed through this whole thing, my mother is taking it all particuarly hard. She told me today through tears that she was afraid my sister was just not going to wake up someday.
Please continue to remember the servant of God CAROLYN and my poor, saintly mother EVELYN in your prayers.

Question a friend, perhaps he did not do it; but if he did anything so that he may do it no more.
A hasty quarrel kindles fire,
and urgent strife sheds blood.
If you blow on a spark, it will glow;
if you spit on it, it will be put out;
and both come out of your mouth

I just wanted to first thank everyone for their continued prayers for my sister and to give an update. She has finally been diagnosed with Addison's Disease, an endocrine disorder that is, thankfully, easily treatable with oral medication. As it happens, Addison's was one of the main causes for the death of my grandmother (it is not, however, hereditary). My father, who never remembers anything like this, recalled this fact after the doctor brought up the possibility. He was quite relieved to hear that it's not hereditary. At any rate, thank you again for your prayers and please join me in offering glory to God for the closing of this horrible chapter in my sister's life. |

She just needs to take glucocorticoids. JFK had Addison's disease since he was a little boy, and very few people even knew about it. As long as your sister takes glucocorticoids, she should be fine. |

Glory to God! No one ever rejoices at hearing they have a chronic illness, but at least this sounds as if it is manageable.
Isn't Addison's Disease frequently mentioned on House when he starts his differential diagnosis discussions with his assistants?

Glory to God! I've often thought of your sister, wondering how she was doing, as my health problems- the symptoms of which appeared somewhat similar- began about the same time as hers.
