Prayers needed, at wits end
« on: November 20, 2011, 10:10:00 AM »
Hi guys , my name is Chris, many of you know me form the various shoots i attend , Denton , Jersey, Baltimore,Im the crazy one who loves the Bear TDs. Well I get back from Denton this year and get bombarded at work(my second job) I work two jobs and have a small farm to help keep family going. Two days from getting back I head to grocery store and i feel really weird, like im having a heart attack, I call wife  and head to the ER..  well turns out it wasnt .well that was the start of it ... Ive been diagnosed with anxiety first and possible ulser. Had some major anxiety attacks in the next couple weeks , wife had to come to my job and helpme cope , lost some time over it. went to heart drs , took a bunch of tests said i was fine.. all in your head they say.. two weeks after the first symptoms i had a major breakdown at home and cried my eyes out, It really felt like i was dying,, then it just went away... felt good , well i thoght to myself mabye they were right it was all in my head. sometime later i got a flu like thing and was on some antibiotics, and not long after that it all came back.. stomach pains , anxiety , high heart rate blood pressure... I told them in the begining that it seemed to start in the stomach.. all in my head ya right...well after numerious blood tests scans etc the only thing they found was an H-pylori infection which could cause the abdominal pain and other symtoms including anxiety.. was on some major antibiotis for two weeks felt pretty normal the last week of treatment, my old self. well within a couple days ALL the symtoms came back... now im headed to see a specialist in a few weeks  hopfully sooner. I am at wits end and so damn depressed,, I have two little five year old girls and i want to be there for them, its hard feel crappy most days.. any exertion makes the gas and cramps worse. I went hunting late in Oct, during gun season with my bow, an I arrowed a nice little buck.. but the kicker was after i got it started to have an attack and my blood pressue and heart rate went thought the roof, so my wife and a neighbor got it out for me, now im afraid to go in the woods, Im still shooting but still cant bring myself to get out and hunt.its been 4 months now , I feel OK but not great, I will probably have to have more tests and endure another round of antibiotics, they told me could take well over a year to get rid of it.I can handle that,,.. i really really worry thats its not all the  problem, so damn scared and depressed at times, just want to see my girls grow up.. thanks for listening ,my wife a wonderful patient person and its hard on her now. i just want to feel better so i can help

That H.Pylori is no joke.  My mom had that... that "H" part reads like the word Helocopter and it's a egg beater ride in your guts!

First, reading your post, you should be thanking God that you're not nuts and there is a cause! Such things baffle docs. Then they take the easier way out and tell you it's your head..2 jobs and all that.

Now you know you have an illness. An ugly one, bud, but discernable and treatable...but like Lyme, it takes time.

Friend was like that in MT and it was Beaver Fever and I don't know how to spell giahardis or whatever the real name is... bad stuff. Takes time.

We've fouled our nest and some tiny uglies seem to sneak up on us from every angle.

Hang in there. Know it's not you and keep fighting. All you can do.  With farm work, make sure it's not Lyme! But make them double test everything...not quick diagnosis and "maybe" treatments!
The words "Child" and "terminal illness" should never share the same sentence! Those who care-do, others question!

Prayers for you Chris. In time all will be well. God Blessed you with a Loving family and it sounds like the Docs are zeroing in on the problem.

Abear, I will lift you up and ask for a healing. This is a plate full for sure but God will see you thru it.

God bless this family and cover them in your protection. You are all knowing and see all things. God you are faithful to hear our prayers and carry us when we can't walk on our own. Thank you for your protection and for your Son who died for our salvation. Show yourself strong in this mans life and problems that he has. It is in your Holy name I ask this, Amen.......Dusty
