June 15, 2016 health update

So today’s doctors appointment was only a well woman’s check. Everything looked okay, test results should be back on Monday. I did loose another pound though, which puts me at 117lbs. :( Tomorrow is another allergy appointment and friday is my next scoping to see what’s going on in my throat. These two should be pretty big on information on whether or not I’m getting any better. Please pray for me that I am healing and on my way to remission. God bless and hope you all have a great weekend :)

Update: Yesterday was not a good day in the world of my EE. I got some food stuck in my throat (even though it was pureed), and the acid reflux that acted up because of it was horrible as well. Today I haven’t been able to even try eating because my throat still hurts and feels like it’s very swollen. The anxiety attack it caused was not fun either. I had my mother pray with me and I did a couple devotionals in my Bible and you would not believe the relief and calmness that came over me. Praise the Lord and I give thanks everyday that I know and love God. It is amazing how fast my prayers are answered sometimes. There is not a doubt in my mind the Lord is the one true God.

so for the past couple weeks i have been putting off buying new clothes even though i’ve gone from 145lbs to 118lbs. today i caved and got a couple shorts since it’s just been so hot and dresses only go so far. i’ve gone from a size 9 in juniors to a size 5, almost a 3. i haven’t been under a size 7 since i was in middle school. though on a positive note, mashed potatoes with some cheese tastes good. since i got the allergy test back and dairy is okay, i’ve added some cheese to the one potato a day i eat. hopefully the swelling goes down soon so the disphagia goes away and i can start to eat again. even though i am still having a hard time, i am still so thankful i can get up in the morning and be with my children.

The Start of My Journey

May 28, 2016
          So recently I have been diagnosed with EoE (eosinophilic esophagitis), and it has been one rough journey so far. I am one of 326 adults who have been diagnosed with this. I’ve lost 24lbs. in one month and am still loosing more. I haven’t eaten more then 1 or 2 baby food jars full of food a day. My dysphagia is so bad swallowing is almost impossible. BUT today I met someone else at our yard sale who has the same thing. He has given me hope that this will get better and remission is a possibility. I know this man was a blessing from God. I pray everyday multiple times a day about everything in my life and after one pray last night about feeling so down, I get sent this man. I don’t even know why I’m surprised, this has happened to me so many times before. This is why no one can ever convince me God doesn’t exist. Even in my storms He carries me through them and blesses me on the way. 😄 I know one day I will get better and God will make sure I get there safely. I’ll update my adventure with EoE periodically on how I progress for anyone who has what I have and anyone who’s interested.
