I Need Prayers

Hey everyone,

My eyes started getting blurry this morning off to one side, so I called my dr's office since it wasn't the first time. They told me to get my eyes checked out first at the eye dr's. So I did. The eye dr dialated my eyes, and discoverd that the blood vessels in the back of my right eye are very tiny. My eyes were just dialated last year and they were fine. She said it is something systemic and I need to see my PCP. I have a call in to them and am waiting to see when I can go in. I have also been having lots of headaches. So, I am started to get really scared.

Please pray that they will quickly find out what is going on and that I will be fine. My kids need me, and I am scared.

Thanks

Oh sweety, I will say a prayer right now that you find out quickly what the problem is and that is easily treated. :)

Try not to panic, and let us know how you do.

You got it. I hope they find a quick and easy resolution. It is scary to think of something going wrong with ones eyes.

Thanks for all the support guys! That really helps me feel better.

I went to the dr yesterday. He wanted me to go to another eye dr that works at my insurance companies clinic and have them dialate my eyes and check them. I told him that I didnt want to and that I trust the dr I went to see. She did a very thorough exam, and I wanted an MRI or CT scan. He finally agreed to order an MRI. I will have it done next week sometime. He seemed convinced it was something wrong with my eye, when the eye dr said it wasn't my eye. I think he was just trying to do what the insurance company would want him to do. They don't like paying for MRI's without a really good reason :angry: . So I guess the possibility of an aneurysm or brain tumor isn't a good enough reason for them!

I hate HMO's.

I will update when I find out the results of the MRI.

Thanks!

I just wanted to update you guys.

The MRI came back negative. My dr suggested that maybe I was anemic and I needed to take a multi-vitamin.

Needless to say, I am switching dr.s I have an appointment with an Osteopath/Family Practictioner on the 18th. Hopefully, I will get some answers. I am going to write up a list of ALL my symptoms to take to him so I won't forget anything.

Thanks for all the support! You guys are great!

This may be off the wall, but have you been tested for pernicous anemia?

No, I haven't been tested for Pernicious Anemia. What kind of testing do they have to do for that?

mommida Enthusiast

The start of testing should be a Complete Blood Count.

Other blood tests would be done looking for...

intrinsic factor and parietal cell antibodies

bilirubin, potassium or cholesterol levels in the blood

serum iron and iron binding capacity.

There is a strong link to Celiac or any type of intestinal lack of absorbing B12.

If there were any test results that made this present doctor suggest you "maybe have anemia" may be used to order the need for further testing.

      KAN-101 Treatment for Coeliac Disease

      By Russ H · Posted

      This treatment looks promising. Its aim is to provoke immune tolerance of gluten, possibly curing the disease. It passed the phase 2 trial with flying colours, and I came across a post on Reddit by one of the study volunteers. Apparently, the results were good enough that the company is applying for fast track approval.  Anokion Announces Positive Symptom Data from its Phase 2 Trial Evaluating KAN-101 for the Treatment of Celiac Disease https://www.reddit.com/r/Celiac/comments/1krx2wh/kan_101_trial_put_on_hold/

      Gluten related ??

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hi everyone  This has been a crazy year so far... How many people actually get entire sensory overload from gluten or something similar ?  My jaw is going nuts ..and that nerve is affecting my upper back and so on ...  Bones even hurt.  Brain fog. Etc  I had eggs seemed fine.   Then my aid cooked a chicken stir fry in the microwave because my food order shorted a couple key items .   I was so hungry but I noticed light breading and some ingredients with SOY !!! Why are we suffering with soy ? This triggered a sensitivity to bananas and gluten-free yogurt it seems like it's a cycle that it goes on.  The tiniest amount of something gets me I'm guessing the tiny bit of breading that I took one tiny nibble of ...yikes ..im cringing from it .. Feels like my stomach is going to explode yet still very hungry 😔  How long does this last?! Thank you so much

      Celiac getting dentures

      By gfmom06 · Posted

      I have had orthodontic work done. The 3M invisalign material was no problem. BUT my retainers are another matter. They seemed okay for a few months. Now, however, they cause a burning sensation on my tongue, gums and insides of my lips. The burning sensation is now spreading to my throat. I notice it when I breathe. This is annoying and interferes with my enjoyment of eating. I am visiting with my provider tomorrow. We'll see where this goes from here.
