My daughter

Post by _Runtu »

I try pretty hard not to bring my personal life here, but I've been really stressed out the last few weeks. 3 years ago my daughter (who is now 15) had severe nausea, vomiting, and headaches for almost a month. She spent 8 days in the hospital and underwent many tests, none of which provided a diagnosis. Finally, it just stopped.

She has been experiencing the same symptoms again for 2 weeks now, and still the doctors have no idea what's wrong. I think that's the worst part, not knowing, because your mind tends to think the worst. Anyway, if you can manage some prayer or good thoughts, I'd appreciate it.

Absolutely!

So...the medicine that the doctor put her on isn't helping?

So far, nothing has helped. Sigh. I'm not discouraged, but it really is scary and frustrating when they don't know what is wrong.

Heh. We were watching House last night, and my youngest daughter said, "That's what you need, Mary. A team like House's to figure out what's wrong."

I'm sorry, John. Poor Mary. I hope the doctors figure out what is causing her illness right away and that she feels better soon.

Sending prayers your way, friend.

See you soon. :)

You will probably think Ima idiot for suggesting this, but for severe nausea and vomiting, nothing works better than cannabis. I swear by it. If it doesn't fix the problem, then nothing will. If you need some recipes for cooking it up, I can help. Probably not what you wanna hear, but its a medicine in this instance, and therefore is not a bad thing...

Regardless, yes, not knowing why something is happening to your child is worse than the thing itself. I wouldn't be able to sleep if I were in your situation. You and your family are definitely in our prayers, and if you would not be upset by this, we can have her added to the prayer roll at the temple in Nashville. Just pm me her name, please, and we will get it taken care of immediately.
