Asking God for strength. My body has been having major flare ups lately. They are had can barley stay awake or move my hands. Need to try to keep up with school work and it is very difficult. I thought about doing a medical withdraw it is getting so bad. I am praying some doctor some where will finally figure out what is eating me alive. I would love to go to the mayo clinic and have a full work up there but I would have to raise funds to get there. It is a 2000 mile drive. Plus hotel stay. They would surely give me answers though.

I have been online since 1994. I've been to many Christian chatrooms and forums over the years, and, because I'm disabled (since 1999), I tend to find many people who are disabled and Christians also. Of all those people on all those sites in all those years, I only remember one who went from disabled to abled again.

Don't count on being cured just because they find out what's wrong. It's possible. It's highly unlikely.

I don't want to be cured. I just want a diagnosis so I can get proper medications to help ease the pain I have in my joints knees feet . The burning pain is horrible. It seems to hurt much less while on steroids but doctor will not keep giving them to me without a diagnosis. Which is still. Being worked on. Sense steroids help so much I have been told by a Pa at after. Hours that it really. Seems that what I have is autoimmune. So I need f2f so I can finally get proper treatment.

Are you putting too much pressure on yourself? If so, perhaps this is your body's way of letting you know.

If only it was that easy, even if you get a diagnosis and that is a big if, then it depends on what treatment is available, I say this as a PA in training. Not everything has a treatment. If it is auto immune probably then you are looking at immune suppressants. Steriods are immuno modulators acting to reduce inflammation. Whats damage is done even dappening down the immune system wont necessarily relieve the pain. My husband has Beckers Muscular Dystrophy it doesn't particularly cause pain, however their is no treatment for it. You can treat some of the symptoms, for example you can treat the heart failure it has caused well, slow the progression. I will pray that God gives you the strength to cope with the pain, and that he would be glorified through your life

I am pretty sure i have lupus i have had 2 ana tests come back as negative but has the comments that cellular staining was seen and it is the kind that points to lupus. I also had a needle breast biopsy done and that showed cytoplasmic staining as well speckled I believe. So first I am confused how you can have a negative Ana but it shows staining. Second I have to try to get a doctor to do a skin biopsy to test that for Sle I guess. I don't know it is like the proof is there but the tests are showing it weak. I wonder if my pain medications keep it some what controlled so it weakens the results

Remember that without faith it is impossible to please him...what is faith??? Faith translates trust. It is imperative that you trust gods word even in regard to your healing. He says that by his stripes you are healed. He says that no weapon formed against you will proper. He did not say that the weapons would not be formed. This illness or a weapon formed by Satan. Sickness of apart of the curse. He sent his word and healed them all. Nothing is too hard for God. Remember that the power of life and death is in your tongue. Be careful to be in agreement with the word of God instead of the enemy. He know that if any two agree they have what they say. Say only what God says about your situation. He loves you and wants to u healed and whole he died to give you that. He body was broken for you wholeness. Be blessed

I am not an expert in autoimmune expert, ANA is found in the majority of people with SLE and the test has improved over time. The staining is interesting it could be that it is another type of autoimmune condition. Hopefully at some point you will get some answers.

If we ask for strength,he gives us every moment. For everyone who asks receives;
And he who seeks finds; And to him who knocks, the door will be opened.​

Bupkus!

Try to stop telling people that their illnesses is their ability to be worse than even God can deal with; i.e. that God is inept. And try and learn what "by his stripes" did heal.

Illness isn't Satanic. And if God wants people healed, he DOES heal them.
