Looking for answers/support

So I've been dealing with #Dysautonomia #HashimotosThyroiditis #PerniciousAnemia #Spoonie and im young, I just got in my first relationship, and I'm so lucky my partner is understanding and supportive, but I'm realizing how much of a struggle this might be. Any time something gets me super excited/nervous, my heart rate shoots up and I have to struggle not to go limp and pass out. I'm careful to drink water and have food and salt before I have any large emotional moments, so that's all I know to do. Are there any experienced couples out there with tips to manage this? Thank you all so much!

I'm new here!

Hi, my name is WiseCat41. I’m here because I’m having a rough day. I was finally diagnosed with multiple autoimmune diseases in a whirlwind six weeks after being extremely ill with pneumonia. Now, I’m sick again with the flu, and it feels like the bad days are outweighing the good.I’m worrying constantly—about work, taking care of my 5-year-old son, and trying to be a good partner. Honestly, I feel like I’m failing at everything.I know I’m not alone in this, but it’s so hard to see a way forward right now. How do you find balance or just get through when everything feels like too much?#newlydiagnosed #HashimotosThyroiditis #Narcolepsy #RheumatoidArthritis #CeliacDisease #Parenting #Roughday

Are you struggling with chronic pain, anxiety, or age-related health challenges?

Meet Kristo—he suffered from pains in his body, fibromyalgia, three heart attacks, and one stroke, and has been using a sleep apnea device since 2012.

After 25 years of diligently following the medications and surgeries prescribed to him, his long-term doctors informed him in mid-May 2019 that they could no longer do anything for him. By this point, his body had deteriorated significantly.

He could no longer walk well. His vision was only 30% after two failed eye operations. Using two crutches, he could move a maximum of 100 meters before losing balance and falling over due to the pain. He had been suffering from chronic fatigue for at least 30 years, dragging himself through each day.

His wife, his caregiver for many years, juggled her job in childcare with an unpaid "job" as a nurse, driver, cook, cleaning lady, gardener, and chef, leaving her little time in her busy, hectic life.

Kristo was told to get comfortable in a scooter for disabled people and a wheelchair because that was going to be his life going forward. Their world fell apart - until a friend introduced him to our program.

See the new man! Kristo’s journey from chronic fatigue and debilitating pain to renewed vitality is just one example of how our program is helping many people get their lives back holistically, without medications and surgeries.

We are looking to talk to 60 men and women, especially those over 50, who have health problems and are serious about finding a proper solution.

Your insights will help us build a program tailored to your needs. Participants will be rewarded with a 10% discount when the program launches. It provides transformative results, by the way.

Interested? YES or NO?

Thanks!

Puzzled by Melanie R.

You held on-

to life’s puzzle pieces

when you didn’t know where to start.

One piece at a time,

could finally see-

through pain and the tears in your heart.

Each piece of His wonder,

the pieces of you-

Great Love in the darkest of skies.

No, you didn’t stumble,

brought healing from Father

when puzzled in pieces of life.

You rounded the corners,

when jagged and cornered;

they started to fit perfectly.

Each piece in it’s place,

God’s guidance and grace

with beauty of Psalm 17.

🧩❤️‍🩹✨💪🏻🙏🧬

My stem cell therapy for immune modulation and upcoming research that will improve it

Stem cell therapy is completely cost prohibitive in the USA, where I've been quoted treatments cost around $5000 dollars each from two different sources. I've been told by my CFIDS specialist that the treatment should be done every 3 months.

So I have a Christian holistic doctor with an MD educational background that amazingly offered me Chinese stem cell therapy at her cost, which was quite cheap since she had it shipped over with an order combined from a total of 3 doctors. I started it just over 2 months ago. I have autoimmune thyroiditis and immune deficiency. What I can tell you is that I felt a decrease in pain in my neck, where I have the most pain, but the effect was strongest right after I got the shot in both elbows, and it doesn't completely remove the pain. I still have to do my neck exercises and stretches and get adjusted by a chiropractor every three weeks so it doesn't become too painful for me and turn into headaches. I didn't notice an effect on my energy levels, but I got COVID-19 four or five weeks after the treatment, which hasn't helped me determine the results very well.

My doctor also has access to placenta stem cell therapy, which I would have preferred, but she wanted to try Chinese stem cell therapy on me first.

Thanks to keepontruckin at phoenixrising.me for showing us even better news on the current research for improvement on stem cell therapy for autoimmune treatment at Mayo Clinic here Scientists pioneer immunotherapy technique for autoimmune diseases

Will this new modified treatment turn out to be a less expensive option?

To understand the differences between Chinese and placenta stem cell therapy, here is an article entitled Development and regulation of stem cell‐based therapies in China and another article entitled Placental-derived stem cells: Culture, differentiation and challenges

Development and regulation of stem cell‐based therapies in China

Clinical researches of stem cell‐based therapies are highly active in China, while it was arduous to determine the most effective way of clinical translation of those advanced therapies.This article briefly introduced the regulatory framework ...

That I Burn by Melanie R.

Lifetime with pain
Pin-pricked in pieces
battled set burning,
it’s raging increases.

It’s chronic,
it’s rare.
Flared Inflammation.
Body that failed…
Complete consummation-

It hindered my soul,
Downtrodden and low.
Withstanding the suffering,
It’s tussling wide loads.

Desperate cold nights
Him calling my name,
preserved me on weary
ignited the flame.

Jesus drew close,
For Him I am sure.
Through all of life sufferings
set me to endure.

The poking, the prodding,
the pain with no cure,
for Him in my body and soul-
I’m made pure.

Heavenly Father,
As you searched and centered my innermost core; my faith ignited your reflection.

Spoken into life to forever burn your kingdom light that kindles throughout my heart.

Resounding faith formed like these words…seen by the ones called, preserved, and understood-
His wisdom given in the Holy flame for present and future time.

That I burn-

When monitored you equipped me in palpable hope through Your sovereignty.

Let it resound its course of your reign!

Carry me through the locked chambers of suffering; for the harder the suffering, the higher your plan.
I yield my body and surrender for I know it is all for Your glory.

Father,
Your eternal word created the fire’s dance when shadows appeared consuming.
You poured your Holy anointing on my answered prayers to keep me burning through the endless nights of chronic pain.

That I burn-

Resuscitated from the smoke and suffocation when darkness lurked to extinguish me.
You received me on Holy ground like Moses and the burning bush.
I thank you for the immeasurable strength to walk upright in this purpose.

That I burn-
My light persevered!

Glory to God!

Sampled, probed, poked, and tested true!

Your name is magnified as my spirit burns in rhythm set to your timing.

In these recent few weeks I am recovering from my 2nd hip surgery (10 weeks post-op),
I have received 2 additional diagnoses.
I’ve had both Leg EMGs, left leg biopsies.
I also had an echocardiogram, heart monitor, pain pump maintenance, bloodwork, etc…

I have relentless burning in physical pain, but also my spirit is burning for the true message of our Lord and savior Jesus Christ!

That I burn-
and to God be the Glory!

Stay strong Mighty Warriors and burn on!
I pray for your strength to endure!
