Feeling Unwell

Have been keeping me away from my usual online haunts.

I'm sorry about the tone of this post, but I seriously need to rant.

In the last two months, I have:

- found a lump in my left breast - mom and first cousin on mom's side had breast cancer and now I am awaiting a biopsy

- been having what seemed to be gastrointestinal issues, namely gastritis

- except recently, even with meds, it hasn't gone away - it's a chronic problem! - and the doctors highly suspect gallstones and in addition to that, possible liver issues and spleen enlargement issues

- in regards to THAT, I haven't been able to eat well

- and have been feeling chronically run down and generally ugh

- been having a hellish time moving about in the healthcare system without health insurance

- need to go to more doctor's appointments, do x-rays, get biopsied, get some GI work done, more ultrasounds

All this amounts to ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

 

*takes a deep breath*

I'm okay.  Just... damnably frustrated and tired.

Hey Zadkhi,

i feel terribly sorry for u,i know it's really hard going through this terrible ordeal ,and all at once,and i can only talk as u r the one suffering,, but please remember that we all are praying for u, i hope everything will be okay very soon,please don't let it take u down,, u are a strong and brave person ,, i am sure.

 

ZAINI.

Zadkhi,
     Sorry to hear about what you are going through. Any one thing to deal with is difficult, but when several things happen at the same time, it is miserable. Are you having to pay for everything, or is there some monetary help for you? I can't remember your whole situation - what kind of thal do you have, and do you get transfusions and chelate? Sorry, my memory is not very good. 
     I wish you luck in dealing with all of this. I am thinking about you, and hope you are able to get the medical attention you need. Jean          

Zadkhi-

Have you tried filing for Medicaid? They take care of all the medical costs for many services - if you go to the hospital for the biopsy, etc.  I'm so sorry you're not feeling well.  Big hugs! 

Zadkhi, there is no reason to be sorry for telling us how you feel and what's been going on with you.  We are here to listen (read) and help each other. 

I'm so sorry that you are not feeling well.  I wish there was something we could do to take your pain away, but we are here for you to talk to whenever you need us.  I pray that the lump is benign and that everything else will be ok.  Please hang in there.

Greetings Lovely Zadkhi 

Maybe you just need to relax and breathe and feel like we are all there hugging you.

I do know how very difficult it is, especially in the USA. People think there is help available, especially medical: for all of you, these are the rules for medical, medicaid- you must be under 21, have children under 21, be pregnant or be over 65. Women, who tend to be lower wage earners, especially if they happen to be single and without children, face a huge challenge. I do know.......

Don't get discouraged, it isn't always necessary to struggle to figure everything out. Know that you are made perfectly, our society has a lot of standards that put stress on us..........just relax for a while. When you are feeling up to it, have a good belly laugh 
Watch a funny movie, read some online jokes, watch on of those silly utube videos!

You are loved,
