She is having a rather difficult day today, like me. She is going to see a bone specialist I think next week, for a bone density scan, or something like that, and a few other things. She is worried about those things, and the (fear of future) pain in the going.

 

[GentleGospeller]

Have you gotten an MRI?

Still no MRI. I wrote to the primary care, I called the MRI place (who have no record of me yet), and so I think it is still siting on insurance side.

A DEXA scan no doubt.

Not feeling good this morning asking for prayers. Head (headachy, little dizzy-sick feeling), abdomen (left side hurting), please. Little tired, exhausted feeling as well all over. Haven't gotten much sleep, tossing turning, restlessness.

 

[GentleGospeller]

Feeling much worse, please asking for prayer.

 

[GentleGospeller]

Please, please pray for me and my mom and dad. I have not been feeling good since yesterday (pain in lower abdomen / head, nausea, headachey, dizzy, sick & weak (exhausted) feeling; symptom flare-up), and mom is really struggling with pain (back and side rib area), nausea, and sadness (& bladder infection), and dad is overwhelmed too. I am scheduled to preach / teach this weeks-end, and want to have strength of body / mind to be able to do this, by God's grace, providence & mercies. Subject, "Inspired, Preserved, & Translated".

I am going to invite my dad for services, as well as nephew (son of brother which died) and his wife as well, and asking for prayer about their acceptance.

My other (still living) brother also had surgery done a few days ago on sensitive area, and asking for prayers for him too, for good recovery. I am attempting to have similar surgery done as well in near future, and have a consult on Monday, Aug 31st (about 2 1/2 hr drive to get there) with urologist, and asking for prayer about that too.

Appreciate any and all prayer, thank you.

Asking for prayer today, woke up early, fitful, did not get much sleep last night, though I tried, and slightly dizzy, nauseous, feeling weak & tired. Intestines are symptomatic, which is what is causing the head to be like it is. Doing what I can, prayer, heating pad, hot herbal tea, &c.

I am scheduled to share the main message ("Inspired, Preserved & Translated") from God's word today, and so asking for the Holy Spirit to be with the message and hearts / minds of the people in audience, as well as strength / health in mind / body to be able to accomplish doing so. I am also, after services, & after potluck, supposed to share a study on the books of the Bible (canon).

@GentleGospeller,
I am so sorry to read all this; I have only just seen this thread. I will be praying for you right now, asking God to strengthen you for your ministry tomorrow and to give you relief and healing from all these symptoms.

I really appreciate you for that, and while I still struggled at services today, by God's grace, I made it through the sermon and afternoon studies. Even my dad came (first time he has been and heard, normally he goes to a Catholic mass)! Just trying to not hurt now at home. They uploaded both to their YT channel (which I just found out they had, as normally it is just on FB). I am redownloading it to repost on my internet archive channel, and maybe if I have time on my other channels. (just kinda wore out today though).

Thank you so much again, I appreciate you, and may the love of God always be shining through you.

Praying

Scarlett O, I am sorry, I forgot to thank you. I have been in so much pain and suffering lately, it just slipped my mind, though I did read that you have prayed or are praying for me. You are not forgotten by me, or more importantly, not forgotten by God, for your kindness.

 

[GentleGospeller]

Prayers.

Thank you also Anthony for praying on my behalf, and may you be always blessed for it.

 

[GentleGospeller]

Asking for prayer, couldn't get much sleep last night, fitful, Feeling very weak, shaky all over, and waaaay tired, maybe dehydrated, dizziness in head, abdomen hurting, sometimes sharp shooting pains on left and right side occasionally (cannot tell if gas or something else), right shoulder hurting again.

I might ask my dad to take me to ER for at least IV.

 

[GentleGospeller]

To all, I have been in suffering all this week, been to the ER once (I.V. since I felt very dehydrated for some reason, even though I have been drinking water, & pain medication, anti-nausea medication, &c.), and my mother has been to ER once. She is still suffering from her spinal fractures, and UTI, and depression. My shoulder (right) has been in more pain this week (a constant ongoing hurt, and stiffness), even after getting MRI, and my abdomen in left side (microscopic colitis) has been flaring up, along with head nausea, headache (symptomatic issues from the intestines), and severe gas (and pain), and flip flopping between dry and loose B.M. I feel very weak, shaky, tired, and go to bed in pain, and wake up in pain. I hurt all of the time (right now as I type). Please, asking for prayer. Thank you.

 

[GentleGospeller]

Feeling very nauseous & dizzy this morning, feel tired & weak, asking for prayer, please. It is really bad this morning. Shaking uncontrollably, very sick feeling.

 

[GentleGospeller]

Went to ER again.

 

[searchingtruths]

I did not know where to post this, so I hope it is ok to post here.

I am asking those who pray and know their God, to please uplift me (brother A.) in prayer daily, constantly. I am a 48 years old male, and am still going through ongoing, continual, pain, misery, illness and other issues.

Background, for this:

A long story short, two years ago (Jan. 2024), I nearly died of blood infection to the face / head, by Staph / MRSA, and was nearly septic, and in so much head pain it felt like a large truck sitting on my head, and was ER'ed by ambulance, and hospitalized there at LBJ in A.S (I went as a missionary Bible worker, and stayed for five years).; and while there under 4-5 powerful antibiotics, and hydromorphones (which weren't doing much for the pain I was in). While there, for a total of three weeks combined, I also contracted Hospital Pneumonia, and given additional antibiotics. In that same country, beforehand, I also had extreme (both ends projectile) food poisoning twice (activated charcoal saved my life twice), among other infectious bites (and activated charcoal, turmeric, grated potato helped to recover, but still have scars on legs and feet).

I came back to the states (Mar. 2024), very much still ill (and on antibiotics), and was suddenly gaining weight (for no apparent reason), breaking out on upper arms and upper thighs (and still have scarring left over), and felt more tired than I ever had been, and was experiencing serious intestinal issues. Fast forward unto ending of 2025, Nov.-Dec., continued in deteriorating conditions, such as intestinal bloating, gas, distension, fiery headaches (all day), tiredness, head / ear pressure like drowning, ear fluid in both ears, ear (eustachian tube) clicking, and a high pitch almost nerve-whine in my head (not tinnitus, not in ear, but in head behind ears, like nerves are on fire or alarming all the time), extreme nausea (which is the worst part of it all, for hours and hours, all day), aching, sometimes feel feverish, other times like hot / cold sweats, and the feeling of pressure on my lungs and heart (being pushed up by diaphragm due to intestinal bloating) so it is like I cannot catch my breath though the airways are clear. I still had no medical, no insurance at this time.

In Nov. (2025) I was eventually, in seriously ill condition, taken to Kaiser (ER), Roseville, CA (for the 1st time; as that is where my parents have medical, and I used to, as a child have such there) and put in a wheelchair, and after hours of waiting, and having a blood test, urine test, chest x-ray, abdominal x-ray, right shoulder x-ray (continued internal pain from 9 years after an Rototiller accident injury, loss of range of motion, loss of strength, &c.), EKG, and finally given some anti-nausea medication, and pain-killers, the ER female doctor simply said it was "IBS", and sent me home. The condition I was in, I cannot truly describe. Three days of continued suffering, I was again (2nd time) taken to the Kaiser (ER), Roseville, CA, in absolute misery, and in worse condition.

Upon the 2nd ER admission, in triage, and after standard blood and urine tests, I begged the nurses and doctor for an ultra-sound and C.T. on the abdomen, which after a few hours, they finally did, as well as a requested ultra-sound on the lower 'male region' (a golf-ball sized object). They found there were 'gall stones' which was blocking the gall duct, which was blocking the bile which breaks down fats (which was why I was gaining weight unexpectedly, 50-60 lbs). Under medication, anti-nausea, anti-pain, and on a hospital gurney bed in a hallway (for hours), I was approached by a Kaiser (ER) Surgeon, who said I should have immediate Emergency gall bladder surgery, a cholesystectomy. I had no other options at that time, and the people in health clinics I had contacted did not answer, so reluctantly, I went with the advice to do the surgery (and my sister's own husband had just recently gone through similar experiences, and made it out, after recovery, 'ok' and is not doing too bad). I was held over night, and the next day (Dec. 11th 2025), was prepped for surgery, and went under anesthesia and the 'knife'. The Surgeon and assistants were all very kind, and caring. I awoke in pain, with four knife cuts in the abdomen (and know have those scars, healed, and was given pain killers to help. I was groggy and was sent home after awake enough. The next weeks were spent in additional pain to recover from the surgery, but that is not all.

For 3 days, I was 'ok' in the head, and the regular abdominal pain seemed gone (and only had the surgical cuts to deal with), but I had not eaten much in those days either, but then all the original symptoms came back, with a vengeance. I was immediately taken back to Kaiser (ER), Roseville, CA for the 3rd time. They immediately did another blood test, urine, and abdominal ultra-sound and C.T. to check for residual stones, blockages, problems with the surgery. They found nothing that they could address surgically. I was sent home in pain, with anti-nausea (like ondansetron, reglan), and anti-pain meds (NORCO, Tylenol, Ibuprofen, etc.) again. My parents did not want to bring me in again, so for about 2 weeks the same symptoms continued, and I could not take the pain, nausea any more. I was taken in, after begging.

Upon the 4th Kaiser (ER) Roseville, CA visit, basics were done (blood & urine), blood pressure, etc. They did another abdominal x-ray, and found nothing that they could address, but said I might have a form of colitis and I was given anti-nausea, and anti-pain and sent home.

A week or so (hard to tell time when in so much pain, misery, the days blur) later, I was back in the same Kaiser (ER) Roseville, CA, for the 5th time, in such pain, literally crying and placed in a wheelchair (as I could not walk, do to extreme nausea), and after waiting 6+ hours, and the standard admission tests (blood, urine, blood pressure), an ER 'doctor' (and I do not mean that at all) came up to me in the triage hallway, talked to me for about 2 minutes, ordered another x-ray (which I told him not to) and another test (also told not to), and would not listen to me. I came back from the two tests, waited in waiting room in pain, in tears, and rolled again into nurse triage hallway, and the same 'doctor' came to me, said I had "IBS" (never even suggested "PCS" or "BAM" or "BAD", or "colitis", etc.) and was "mental" (the symptoms were just in my head and not real), and cut me off twice, as I am literally crying in front of him in pain. He gave me no pain meds, nothing for nausea, and did nothing, and told the nurses nearby to discharge me. I was wheeled literally weeping, and completely distraught, to discharge, barely able to sign out, and was wheeled to waiting room to wait for parents to come back from eating their late dinner to pick me up and take me home. I filed two disputes with Kaiser, one for the misdiagnosis the first time, one for the treatment on the last visit, and filed a direct review for that last 'doctor'. They only ever acknowledged that they received the complaints, but never sent me anything about something being done, but were 'kind' enough to bill me ($40K-ish) (No, I am not asking anyone for money, just prayer).

... to be continued ...

Amen Amen Amen God's grace be upon you
