When Life Knocks You Down,
Try To Fall On Your Back, Because If You Can Look Up,
You Can Get Up!
Erik Thomas
I do apologize for not being around to comment as much as I can. I know that you guys understand and all you want is for me to be happy and feel well. Thank you. ((Hugs))❤
This journey I have been on has not been fun. I ended up going to the ER on September 28th at 3 am in the morning. I woke up feeling off, not well and my BP was 177 and I felt a slight pain on my left side. I never have heart pain. Mark drove me so he was there with me. Six house later they sent me home saying it was extreme anxiety. Follow up with my primary doctor in a few days.
I didn't make it to bowling that day or the following Wednesday which was October 5th. Planned on it but felt horrible in the morning. I did however have my follow up with my doctor that afternoon because I planned it that way because it's in the same area as bowling. Mark drove me because I just couldn't do it.
So we are changing two of my medications. I'm getting off the Zoloft and we are changing my statin because statin's, in older woman, can cause shoulder, arm and neck pain. Of course anxiety could cause that too. I finally made it back to bowling last Wednesday and I ran some errands.
Then I wake up Thursday morning down and out. Not feeling well at all. Then come Friday morning I have the start of a lung infection. So I start on my steroids and antibiotics. Felt way better on Saturday. Did several things around the house that I needed to do besides wrapping all the birthday gifts for James' 4th Birthday on Sunday.
I am typing this on Sunday and not feeling any better. I am going to see James today and I know I will feel good when I'm there because he makes me so happy.
Now the issue is this, will I start to feel better to go to bowling on Wednesday and leave for Montana on Thursday??? Of course I need to pack too which is always a pain in the butt.
So I won't be around much and all I am asking for are your prayers for healing my body. You do not need to comment, just pray. Thank you.
Love,
Debby

Well I am leaving a comment and praying for a return to health and a healing trip to Montana.
Praying that the change of meds will do the trick. Statins and things like Zoloft can really be good for some but horrible for others.
Take care and know you are in the Lord's Hands.

I"m so sorry that you have had such a rough time of it. Lifting prayers that you will be able to make your trip and be well enough to enjoy it. I know James always lifts your spirits. Will keep you in my prayers. ((hugs))
Yes, plenty of prayers and love from here. Take care.

Praying for you Deb. Zoloft did not work for me, but Paxil did. Packing is not fun. I always overpack. Enjoy your trip and try to relax. I know it is not easy and anxiety can really mess things up. Take care, Hugs!
You sure have had a lot on your plate lately. You know that I'll be sending prayers your way that your health issues will all turn around.
Take care and know that I am thinking of you.
I am so sorry to hear of your health issues and episodes. I pray that God will direct you and your doctors to do what is best for you in every way. I hope you can take the trip as planned and enjoy the time away without too much anxiety or other issues. We will be keeping you in our prayers. Your statement about statin drugs in older women causing shoulder and neck/arm pain just threw me for a loop, as I have a LOT of the above and am on statin drugs. I've taken myself off of them to see if they were causing problems before, but still had the pain. I need more information on that side effect because I've never heard that before and I am so tired of dealing with this pain in my shoulders and arms. I already had neck surgery to relieve pressure on the nerves, but I still have pain. Wow! If what you are saying is true, I really need to talk to my dr. about that. I hope you have a blessed and wonderful trip and that you will be feeling better soon. God bless you dear friend.
Lifting my prayers right now, Debby.
Everything feels so scary and burdensome these days. I just got off the phone with my BF in Florida -- she went to the ER with colitis and a few hours later wound up having heart surgery and put in ICU for something they randomly discovered on the CT scan.
If memory serves, isn't Dylan a nurse? At least when you're up there, he can keep a watchful eye on you.
Oh goodness. I'm sorry Debby. I'm going to comment anyway : ) I am praying you and your doctors get a handle on your health so the anxiety eases and you feel better about everything. I hope you have a wonderful restful trip to see your daughter and I know James is a day brightener. Enjoy family time and safe travels!
Oh Debby, so sorry to read all this! Definitely prayers for sure for your health and safe travels for your trip to Montana!
betty
I hope you stay well and are able to make your trip!
Oh I do pray you feel better. My anxiety seems to have escalated the past couple of months, too. I pray things settle for both of us!
Hope and prayers that you feel much better sooner rather than later.
I just HATE that you are going through all this. I wish things would settle down. I hope you get to go to your daughter's!
My Dear Friend,
I am so sad that you are going through this over and over. I continue to pray that the doctors will have wisdom on how to help you.
I am praying for your trip to Montana.
Love, Carla
Both a comment and prayers for me also. I do pray now that you will be better enough to enjoy your trip to Montana and not end up in the ER again. Hang in there this too shall pass that's what I tell myself
