Would you all pray for me? Major health issues
There's so much to it so I won't put all the details here but you are welcome to read about it at my blog. http://thomasschooldays.blogspot.com/20 ... away-3.htm
I started the new medicines mentioned in the post and it's a rather big adjustment today as I'm more sensitive to position changes, movement, headache on and off from blood pressure changes, chest pains, etc.
Basic details are that my previously diagnosed heart condition has resurfaced but it's not the same diagnosis and it seems it was perhaps wrong before...I am suspected of having a form of Dysautonomia (a autonomic nervous system disorder) called POTS (postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome which means bending or standing especially messes me up as my body can't regulate blood flow/pressure and heart rate like it should with postural changes) and they think it's caused by either Elhers Danlos, Thyroid problems, or Lupus. I had a borderline lupus result several years ago. I also have borderline high lung pressure and am being tested for a clot as well. I have bloodwork coming up Monday, tilt table test the 13th, and other tests being scheduled. I'm only 31 and I feel like I'm a tired old lady.

Tamara,
I read your blog post! I WILL pray for you. (((hugs)))
Psalm 27
1 The LORD is my light and my salvation;
Whom shall I fear?
The LORD is the defense of my life;
Whom shall I dread?
2 When evildoers came upon me to devour my flesh,
My adversaries and my enemies, they stumbled and fell.
3 Though a host encamp against me,
My heart will not fear;
Though war arise against me,
In spite of this I shall be confident.
4 One thing I have asked from the LORD, that I shall seek:
That I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life,
To behold the beauty of the LORD
And to meditate in His temple.
5 For in the day of trouble He will conceal me in His [e]tabernacle;
In the secret place of His tent He will hide me;
He will lift me up on a rock.
6 And now my head will be lifted up above my enemies around me,
And I will offer in His tent sacrifices with shouts of joy;
I will sing, yes, I will sing praises to the LORD.
7 Hear, O LORD, when I cry with my voice,
And be gracious to me and answer me.
8 When You said, “Seek My face,” my heart said to You,
“Your face, O LORD, I shall seek.”
9 Do not hide Your face from me,
Do not turn Your servant away in anger;
You have been my help;
Do not abandon me nor forsake me,
O God of my salvation!
10 For my father and my mother have forsaken me,
But the LORD will take me up.
11 Teach me Your way, O LORD,
And lead me in a level path
Because of my foes.
12 Do not deliver me over to the desire of my adversaries,
For false witnesses have risen against me,
And such as breathe out violence.
13 I would have despaired unless I had believed that I would see the goodness of the LORD
In the land of the living.
14 Wait for the LORD;
Be strong and let your heart take courage;
Yes, wait for the LORD.
I read your blog post! I WILL pray for you. (((hugs)))

Re: Would you all pray for me? Major health issues
I appreciate you all so much. I'm heading to my general doctor in the AM and praying he will run all the tests he can at once since they are drawing blood anyway. Will be talking to him about any and all possible causes of POTS that may fit my condition. My medicines seem to be helping some but the higher dose does make me very, very drowsy and I take it at 8am.
