PATTY

thank you so much for your post. I am sorry to be whining here but things are

sooo bad. I have a very demanding, stressful job as does mu husband and it is

very hard to manage everything these days. I can't remember stuff all of the

time and I am so tired. I want to be there for everyone and my son, especially

but I can't help but feel like I am dying and there is nothing I can do about

it. I have tried so hard to see the doctors, had the 2 sinus surgeries, detox,

everything and it is all just too much to handle. I can't stay focused at work

and i seem to be making more mistakes. it is so scary - some people believe me

and some don't but nobody (at home) really knows how I feel. My head hurts so

bad sometimes that I can hardly function and I hate that. I have trouble

cleaning my house, caring for a 2 year old. All this with the feeling that I am

dying and nobody will do anything about it (docs). the feeling of leaving my

son without a mommy is too much to take and i can think of nothing else these

days. My husband is very supportive and helpful but the thoughts and fears

running through me are taking over. every time I try to take off of work I catch

crap from my boss and it is stressing as I can't afford to lose my job but the

stress is killing me. all of the deadlines, added responsibiities,(work) etc.,

I just want to scream. I want to keep my house and we are horribly in debt from

all the doc bills and rx's but I don't now how much longer I can take it. the

brain fog is getting worse and lately I am pretty much a zombie 24/7. maybe if

I could get disability we could manage but it is so scary. my stomach is always

upset. I just want to stay home and rest but i try to act normal. Lately all I

do is cry - cry for no reason at all. i have been having dizzy spells, too. I

am just a mess. thanks for listening

Thanks patty!! I know you are right. I just don't know who to seek out that

specializes in Candida. I am tired of wasting my money on people who think that

I am crazy. what type of doc would you recommend that actually believe in the

Candida issue? also - I know Vasey won't be able to help there but I am seeing

him Friday to test for Lupus, etc., as I am starting to have a lot of symptoms

like the face rash and stiff tingly fingers, that I probably need to be tested

for. Some of them are getting significantly worse and I am not sure if it is

Lupus or MS. thanks for the help!

this is what i know about disability....expect to be turned down at least three times..file your appeals on time...keep going...you must of course have a doctor who believes that you are unable to work....be sure and mention depression if you are depressed and go to a neuro, psychologist, psychiatrist if you are referred...use a good disability attorney work with your dr. and to present your case to the judge. i am talking about social security disability and it sounds to me like many of the women here should qualify but you must be tenacious! i hope this helps someone...anita Re: Shari, candida PATTYthank you so much for your post.

I think you are under a tremendous amount of stress. The stress of

your illness, your job, your child and household are too much.

Heck, most of us can't even handle the stress of a job that demands

too much when we are well. And believe me, stress can make you sick

and keep you from getting well once you are sick. Stress is

terrible for the immune system. Studies bear this out. Not that

this helps you feel better about things. I hope that your

disability works out. If not, is it possible to get a less

stressful part time job and make enough for you guys while you get

your health back? Even on a temporary basis? I know that I had to

quit my job for awhile because I was so sick. Pray for God to work

this out for you and trust in Him.

I know there were many many months

that I thought I was dying and nothing seemed to help. It was the

worse time of my life. This was two years after my husband died at

age 43. I was only working just 3 mornings a week due to my fms and

suddenly I was the sole support of my 2 children. I didn't know

what to do. But God saw me through the deep waters. I have

perservered the last six years and I would have never thought I

could. I was in a deep depression for much of it. I had to quit my

job for a while when I got really sick in 2001. Finally,

things started to turn around for me. I found this group and it

gave me the courage to get an explant. That was 2 years ago. I

started on antibiotic therapy and had many setbacks. But I knew

something was changing! I had hope. Dimonds can attest to the fact

that she was still very very sick after explant. She tried

everything and nothing seemed to help. But, after a long time, she

started to finally see some improvements. So never give up hope.

Our bodies are just so awesomely complex that is hard to hit on the

combination of things that will jumpstart it back to wellness. What

works for one, may not work for another. And it may be a long

arduous process. I think most of us would do whatever we could to

get well, it is just we don't know what is that will make us well.

When things don't work, or seem to be helping and then we backslide,

we get afraid that nothing will ever help and that takes away our

hope. Then depression can really get bad. So we have to remain

firm that we will do whatever it takes, and we will hit on what it

takes because God will guide us to it, and we may have to wait and

tough it out alot longer than we ever thought possible.

Additionally, I am sure that the depression alot of us suffer is not

just because of our situation, it is also from the disease process

itself. Whatever is inflaming our muscles, joints, skin, etc, is

also inflaming our nerves, brain tissue, etc. The same process that

causes brain fog and dizziness causes depression and rage and

irritabiltiy and fatigue. I have long observed that when I have a

reaction to detox, my depression comes back vehemently. And for

some strange reason, this depression is always a feeling of not

wanting to live. Fortunately, it almost never lasts the whole day,

or for more than a day or two in a row without giving me a

breather. For me, this is one of the last symptoms to get better.

But that may be because I am 49 and probably headed into menopause

and many women suffer depression, irritabiltiy and aches, fatigue

etc that don't have our problems. But despite this, I have seen

immense improvements in even my depression and every day there are

little evidences that I am returning to the person I was before my

husband died and I got so sick. My heart goes out to you and to

everyone who belongs to this website. I wish I could wave a magic

wand and make it all go away for all of you. If nothing else, this

illness has taught us all alot about empathy and compassion. Take

care and God bless.
