Prayer Requests

@Heather praying for her to find a support group, T, book or mentor that offers her peace within her journey to heal.

Perhaps a comfort night time item (ex: new stuffed favorite animal) and a pretty little night light will sooth her inner child. There are so many wonderful toy stores to make it a delightful outing together. (((hugs to you both)))) and prayers...
 
I started this thread long ago, never knowing then that I would need it so often. The Lyme Disease in my lungs (pleurisy) is doing OK now, there is no more pain there now. However I am still feeling weakness there in my lungs and I cannot sing. I sing in the church choir, so it is important to me that I regain my strength so that I can once again join in worshiping the Lord in song with my fellow choir members at my church. I have been singing a little bit. I sing with very little volume at this point, but I don't dare project my voice for fear of damaging my vocal chords.

Also, my knee is still swollen from the Lyme Disease arthritis. It is hard to sit and bend it. I have to stretch it out to keep it from hurting. It also hurts when I put my full weight on it for any great length of time. I don't know what works to bring swelling down. I read the Tylenol bottle to see if it can help with swelling, but it is just for pain and fever.

I had the chills last night, so I put a heating pad on my back so I could sleep. I did sleep pretty well after that. I suppose I may have had a fever, but I did not get up to take my temperature.

Thanks, as always, for your thoughts and prayers.
 
Well, to further complicate things, I am now trying to get an appointment with an Infectious Disease Specialist. They want a referral from my primary care physician, but I am trying to switch to a new primary care physician, because I do not feel satisfied with the one that has been treating me. Let me just say that they have left certain things undone and not been helpful with follow up treatments for various things. I feel that they are "sloppy" for lack of a better word. So I am trying to switch back to my previous primary care physician, who I left because she moved to California. (I live in North Carolina). Anyway, to make a long story short, I am getting the run around with all this. The Dr. I want to see needs a referral from my primary care physician. Since I am switching Dr.s this is difficult. I want the Emergency Room to refer me to this Infectious Disease Specialist, but they are giving me a hard time! I am just running around in circles and getting nowhere with all this. Everyone wants the other one to send the referral or the request for records instead of just being cooperative! It is nuts. Please pray for me that it all works out. Also, I only have a few minutes left on my phone after having been on the phone for so long with all these Dr.s' offices! They all place me on hold, and meanwhile are doing nothing while I sit there and listen to elevator music on the phone waiting for someone to come back on the line and do SOMETHING, ANYTHING!!!
 
On top of the Pleurisy (a type of lung infection) I had recently, I now have been diagnosed with Shingles too! I went today to see if anything could be done about it and all they can suggest is Tylenol for pain relief. They also gave me a shot in my knee. It was too late to get the antiviral medicine that can help stave off Shingles complications. I am a mess of physical and mental disorders, as I have Bipolar too! Please pray for me. Thanks!
 
I need to see my Dr. tomorrow, but freezing rain is predicted for the weather. I rarely if ever pray about the weather, but I am praying that here where I live it will not be freezing rain or snowing tomorrow when I need to go to the Dr. I was just in the Hospital for a week, and I desperately need to see my MD. If this weather is like this, I won't be able to go, because public transit will shut down (we live in the mountains and they cannot get around here safely in these kinds of weather). Please pray for good weather for my area tomorrow, so I can see my MD> Please also pray that it will be a good Dr.'s visit for me, as this is my first time seeing this Dr. Her name is Sally Cody and I am looking forward to meeting her. I am sincerely hoping that she can put me back together again, as I have had pleurisy, shingles and now an allergic reaction to Prednisone that sent me into a super hyper/manic. I am Bipolar so this was the highest manic (high bipolar episode) I have ever had. This Dr. is needed because when you come out of the hospital, you need to see your regular Dr. to get your new prescriptions continued. I will be seeing my psychiatrist Tuesday, another Dr. on Thursday and my therapist on Friday. This is not a week for bad weather to ground me! I pray that this is all resolved, in Jesus' precious Name, amen.
