PLEASE READ THIS!!!!

Hi, If any of you have read my profile it looks like most everyone else's. I am waiting on insurance approval to get a date and have my rebirth. I had hoped this rebirth would not only be a rebirth from being fat, looked down upon and clothes descrinmination but also a rebirth from pain and illness that has plaged me for several years. I know some of you have the same feelings. If it's one thing we share it is these feelings. I had talked to the insurance company yesterday and they are going to put my file on top of the stack since it has been there so long and get a decision made soon. That was great news!! One step closer to my rebirth. I got a call from my Neurologist office yesterday. I suffer from constant migraines and go the the Neuro to rule out any major things like brain tumor and stuff. I have been going every six months for a little over 2 years. Not much relief from the migraines, we can't seem to find a medication that I can take and will work. Anyway, they called and said my SED Rates were evavated and my C-Reactive Protien was through the roof. So now I have to have more blood work. Try to rule out what might be causing this. My request is that you guys PRAY FOR ME!! I need this surgery and my Neuro is supporting me on this (as long as it's Lap Band) I don't want anything to happen to slow things down now. So Please Pray for me. Thanks for listening and letting me tell my story. Cindi

Prayers going up!! Jane "prayer changes things, and it changes me"

Michelle, Thanks for the information. I did some research last night and fount 2 things that match my symptoms. 1. Polymyalgia Rheumatica and 2. Giant Cell Arteritis. The blood work I had yesterday was a Vasculitus Profile. Drs office said this was a very rare test. I won't know results for a week or so. Pray for me, I need this surgery first then I'll deal with the other. Cindi

Bless your heart. You are definitely in my prayers. I don't know how migraines feel, but Jim and Em both suffer with them, so you have my sympathy on that too. I will keep you close in prayer. smoochies Arlies
