For the past several months I have been dealing with some serious health issues. The issues are so serious that I have to be put on a new medication each month. I have had to undergo treatment that seperated me from family for 10 days. I have to carry a bag of meds around that amount to more meds than cancer and aids patients take. This illness has caused me to gain more than 50 pounds in less than 4 months. I have developed a condition called exophthalmos which makes my eyes swell in their sockets and causes a lot of pain and pressure. It makes me sick in the morning and crazy in the evening. It makes me become aggitated and makes me use more energy than I would like to be able to do homework or just to write a letter. I have to read a paragraph over and over again before I can understand it. I run out of breath if I walk just one block and it feels as if I have a tennis ball in my throat. This illness affects my blood pressure, my heart, my digestive system and my matabolism.
Getting through this phase
I have determined in my heart and mind that I will do what it takes to get through this phase which includes staying on my knees praying and asking God to heal me. Taking any med they think will will help me. Doing my own research and keeping a watch on my blood pressure. Study just a little harder to get through these last three classes. Pray that I can deal with the aggitation without offending anyone. Believe in my heart that I am an overcomer because Jesus died for this too!
