Metmom has had allergies and food allergies her entire life. In the last few years they have gotten steadily and progressively worse. Foods have been dropping out of her diet until she reached the point she is at now and can only eat rice, chicken, lamb, and venison. Anything else causes her to react rather destructively, debilitatingly.
The problem is that the repeated continual exposure to the few remaining foods, could lead to a sensitivity to those as well, which has just happened to two foods she had been safely eating since October.
There are options for nutrition should she start to react to all foods, but they are used only in the most dire situations. She's concerned about reaching that point--and frankly has been feeling more than a little discouraged by all such.
She has undergone extensive medical testing which has all been inconclusive. Almost everything comes back normal or negative, and the few things that she does test positive for aren’t what causes her the most problems.
She is attempting to get into a regional medical center for more specialized medical evaluation to see if they can determine the cause and possible treatment, if any exists.
She has been prayed for and anointed numerous times over the years, however, she would appreciated continued prayer for complete healing.
PLEASE UNDERSTAND HER PLIGHT with as much empathy as you can. She's been through a 1,001 suggestions and tried a LOT of different things. She's been through the Henry Wright seminar and prayers extensively. I don't think she is quite up to handling any more suggestions currently. Those who've been through such can understand such a feeling. She just greatly would appreciate your understanding and PARTICULARLY YOUR CARING PRAYERS.
This summary is per my understanding and might be stated somewhat differently were she writing it herself. I believe she'd affirm the truth of what I've said but these are essentially my words.
THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR PRAYERS.
travel grace to you dear FRiend.
and some GOOD MEDICAL RESULTS
Prayers continue!
Prayers continue.
Thank you for your Christmas blessings. May you have a blessed Christmas, as well.
Continued prayers for you.
Continuing prayers up for you, metmom.
It isn't fun having to be careful, read labels and ask question constantly. Even worse is my sensitivity to food chemicals, I am sure you have looked into that. I pray the doctors in Boston can come up with an answer for you. God keep you safe on your trip.
May God fortify you as you tackle this difficult challenge.
Safe travel and healing prayers going up.
BTTT. You and your family in our thoughts and prayers.
The weather tomorrow should be good for traveling. It should be cloudy and in the mid-thirties. No snow is expected until Friday, and then only a 50% chance.
Please keep us posted.
Prayers going out for a safe trip with a positive outcome for you.
I can’t imagine what you’re going through. May God bless you with good health and provide the doctors with the wisdom to cure you.
Merry Christmas, metmom!
Heartfelt rayers for your healing!
God’s blessings to you as well metmom. My prayers for you continue. I can’t imagine what you are going through.
May God protect you as you travel, may He keep you i comfort despite the challenges you face, and most of all, may God’s healing touch rest upon you!
I’m so sorry you are going through this.
It’s a mast cell disorder. Not the more common mastocytosis. It’s called Mast Cell Activation Disorder (Syndrome).
I have a diagnosis, which really is a relief. At least now I know what I’m dealing with.
The problem is what to do about it- how to treat it.
Praying here, ongoing, love you.
It’s good to know that outside our area will be fine.

MY LORD KNOWS THE WAY THROUGH THE WILDERNESS
My Lord knows the way through the wilderness
All I have to do is follow
My Lord knows the way through the wilderness
All I have to do is follow.
Strength for today is mine always
And all that I need for tomorrow
My Lord knows the way through the wilderness
All I have to do is follow.
Go with God, dear heart ... His hand is upon you.

Yes. The last thing you need on your mind is the weather.
Prayers are continuing. God bless you.

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!)
