My daughter, who posts as Ellendra, has had continuing health problems. Dizziness and brain fog started in October 2008 and continues to get worse. She's seen a neurologist, who had eegs, an ekg, and an mri done, which showed nothing. A throid test came back very high, so she's now on meds for that, but there's been no improvement yet.
We suspect Lyme Disease, but tests so far have come back mostly negative. She's now seeing an integrative medicine specialist in another state, and we're waiting for results of about 20 different tests. Meanwhile, she keeps getting worse. Sometimes, her typing looks like a cat walked across the keyboard. Sometimes the dizziness causes her to fall, and she's gotten some bumps and bruises as a result.
She's seeing a different neurologist in July, one who specializes in MS, as that may also be a suspect.
We'd appreciate prayer. Thanks.

Any speech problems? Blurring vision? Trouble swallowing? Drooping eyelid? Weakness in arms, legs? Difficulty breathing?
If any of the above, check for myasthenia gravis.
Frequently mis-diagnosed. It’s treatable but by the time doctors figure it out, the patient has usually gone through hell. My mother nearly died from it. The ER doc told me she was “getting old”. Once she got treatment, she’s pretty much back to her old self... we can hardly keep up with her.
Good luck... don’t give up. Doctors know a lot, but not everything.
Prayers up.
(Have the docs ruled out Meniere’s Disease?)
Notre père, qui êtes aux cieux!
Que votre nom soit sanctificié. Que votre règne vienne.
Que votre volonté soit faite, sur la terre comme au ciel.
Donnez-nous aujourd'hui notre poindre ce jour.
Pardonnez-nous nos offenses, comme nous pardonnons aussi a ceux, qui nous ont offensés,
et ne nous soumetez pas à la tentation, mais délivrez-nous du mal.
Car c'est à toi qu'appartiènne, le régne, la puissance et la gloire, pour les siècles des siècles.
Amen.
Je vous salue, Marie, pleine de grâces,
le Seigneur est avec vous, vous êtes bénie entre toutes les femmes,
et Jésus le fruit de vos entrailles est béni.
Sainte Marie, Mère de Dieu, priez pour nous pauvres pécheurs,
maintenant, et à l'heure de notre mort. Ainsi-soit-il.
Garde la Foi, mes amis! Nous nous sommes les sauveurs de la République! Maintenant et Toujours!
(Keep the Faith, my friends! We are the saviors of the Republic! Now and Forever!)
Father, we hold up ‘Ellendra’ to You.
We pray that You will heal her in mind and body. May this illness pass from her. + We ask this through Christ Your Son, Our Lord, Amen +
Speech problems, yes. Weakness in arms and legs, yes. She hasn’t mentioned blurred vision, trouble swallowing, and her eyelids look normal. Thanks.
A friend of mine suffered beyond belief with a degenerative issue and ultimately learned it was her parathyroid. A doc in Tampa took care of it and her symptoms have been relieved. Just a thought.
Thanks - we’ll ask her current doctor about that.
I join in earnest prayer for your daughter!
Prayers up. The brain fog with thyroid disease takes a while to go away. It also takes months to get the dosage at the right levels. I’m one year out after a total thyroidectomy and my levels are still messed up.
