Donna Posted December 12, 2003 Share Posted December 12, 2003 (edited) I am sorry to post this here in Open Mic, but I'm in an Emergency situation which I've been trying to rectify for a week. There are a few other posts explaining things further in the Prayer Room, if you wish to see them. Please, if you can, fast for this intention, as follows, copied from the Prayer Room. Fr. Potnifex, please pray for me. Thank you all very, very much. I would appreciate anyone bumping this up. I don't know what else to do, and I know your prayers have got me through this the past 2 weeks especially. It is harder and harder to come out of these hyperthyroid symptoms, which are many and varied and serious. I am at risk for something called "thyroid storm" which is very, very serious. I don't mean to be unecessarily dramatic. I am telling you that this risk is real and is increasing. I have 7 children and this has been going on, progressively worse, since July. **************************************************************** Dec 11 2003, 11:58 PM First, I want to graciously and tenderly thank each and every one of you who will not let me go in prayer at this bizarre and desperate time. Your PM's mean the world to me. Long Story Short: Please Pray to the angels to turn the Specialist's Heart very much toward my case immediately, that I will at least talk to him tomorrow (Dec. 12), and get the antithyroid drugs. He goes on vacation in one week. Spec. II didn't call me back (tho I did a good job of chasing him). I cannot get the meds from my OB or my General Practioner. Again, tonight the panic began...I called the helpline (Husband was out)...took my pulse...made our oldest stay w/ me....and the very same nurse who bid us go to the ER last eve helped talk me through the panic. She said, as I most surely know, that when the cause of panic is physical, it is harder to control. Her beautiful name is Bernadette! She said I must again first thing tomorrow call the Specialist, and I must phone the GP (General Practioner) to get specific guidelines as to when I should go to the ER. She, and the on-call GP I spoke to after the Bernadette call, said I can probably likely expect these attacks to keep happening until I get the ATD's (antithyroid drugs). And that my heart is vulnerable to damage, which I know. It's the high levels of thyroid hormone running wild in me which is doing this. It gets worse, not better, over time when untreated. Please pray that I hang on, here. My mom is out of town...she doesn't even know about the ER...I am afraid to be alone, which is the complete opposite of who I really am and have always been. I am very sorry to bother you, once again If anyone can fast for this intention, I beg you to do so. I am seriously beginning to think the enemy may be involved here, as there is real relief available and a path to begin to heal, but I cannot get it. My feeble yet heartfeltly gracious thanks.

Anna Posted December 12, 2003 Share Posted December 12, 2003 (edited) Donna, love, I've sent my guardian angel to minister to you. Should I fail in keeping a fast for you today (because of certain nutritional needs), at the very least I will abstain, and of course, pray. Couragio. Pax Christi. <>< Edited December 12, 2003 by Anna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marielapin Posted December 12, 2003 Share Posted December 12, 2003 Donna, I have been offering up my day to your intentions for the past week. Been thinking about you every day. My mom has over active thyroid as well. She has to take a pill every day for the rest of her life or she gets symtoms like you describe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

willguy Posted December 12, 2003 Share Posted December 12, 2003 Sts. Damian and Cosmas, twin doctors and patron of all in medical fields, pray for Donna and for her doctors. Pray that God's hand and peace may be in this situation, that things may work for best for his daughter. St. Raphael the Archangel, whose name means Healer of God, petition before God, that you may bring His healing power down upon Donna. Pray for her and for her doctor. God Almighty, the Great Physician, through my prayers, and through the intercession of the saints, angels, and the Blessed Virgin, Our Lady of Guadelupe, may your will be done in this situation. We ask that you send your healing down upon Donna, that she may recieve the help she needs so that she may glorify you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IcePrincessKRS Posted December 13, 2003 Share Posted December 13, 2003 You know that I'm praying for you, sweet Donna! My guardian angel stands vigil at your side! (The wonders of bi-location! I wish I were an angel, then I could join my angel by your side as well!) My husband and I prayed for you last night. I thought about you alot, especially because I was unable to get online and see how you are doing. But the cable is back up! And we are PRAYING! Hugs, prayers, and whiskey! :wub: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
