2 weeks ago today my life couldnt be any better...
I work for one of the fastest growing clothing/skate companies, I have the most lovely,and caring girlfriend (wife to be), my mom has a boyfriend who she is so happy with (been concerned for her for awhile) and i was at Newport Coast on a Vacation.
fast forward to Monday Morning, Sitting in LA traffic on my way to work i felt as if my throat was clogged and i felt very heavy mucus and a state of panic. That day i tried nyquil,mucinex,halls,salt gargle. Nothing would help. All this time my stomach was bubbling and gassy too. I waited till saturday then on saturday went to a korean doctor who prescribed me ZPACK (AZITHROMYCIN) for a "COMMON BACTERIAL INFECTION IN THE THROAT" I did tell him about my stomach problems, my heightened anxiety, but he just said its a cold.
That weekend i couldnt sleep at all, i stopped taking the Zpack because i was panicking and pacing up and down my house. I was having cold sweats, and my anxiety was very high. Felt like i was gonna die.
I then tried to wait it out thinking and researching online that the Zpack could cause you to have anxiety attacks and a upset stomach. Then couple days go by and my stomach is still very gassy, i couldnt sleep at night because i felt like gas was coming up my throat and closing it. Went to a real doctors (ST.JUDE) and Dr. Thai diagnosed me with a condition called GERD/ACid Reflux. I was immediately put on prilosec (omeperzole) once a day and i felt a little better. The worst part of all of this was the anxiety and the worry i had in my mind.
Night and day i was tossing and turning and worries sick to my stomach and thinking i will never get over this and i will always feel gassy.
Yesterday morning because i couldnt sleep at night i woke up @ 6am and decided to take a walk. I was walking and came back home and my mom sat me down. I told my mom "i think i have anxiety and i dont know what to do." Immediately mom said its the devil trying to bring you down, its satan trying to get control of your life when everything is going good. All of a sudden everything made sense and i realized she was right.
I got down to my knees and started praying, praying real hard, and loud and asking God to replace the worries in my system and to heal me and to cleanse me. To replace the anxiety and worries on my mind with his love and his grace. For him to cast out all demons and cast out satan who was trying to shake me. I told god Satan has no control over my body, and that he trembles at the feet of the lord. After 10 minutes of prayer, i felt this burden, this heaviness inside my body leave. I felt like something was lifted off of me and the anchor was off. Ive asked the lord to set me free and it really did feel like it.
I fell less anxious and less anxiety, i feel more full in my heart. Everything i go out or look @ my mom or my girlfriend i feel a sense of blessing, and i can see Gods love all around me now. Now I know and i get it. After all this i've learned that when things are going great, and you think you have everything undercontrol God will yank you off your chair and say "remember i am the one who made all this possible for you."
I still have symptoms of GERD and my stomach is still gassy, and my throat feels dry at times, but it feels so good knowing God is working with me and is in my system. It feels good knowing i have his love in my heart, and he will not let me go sick. I pray that God really heals me and that he will put me to good use. I pray that as i battle this sickness he will be there to hold that sword with me every swing. This really chagned my life, and it really let me know God is good. Even if he had to show me this way he got his point across and let me know. Before i never ate vegetables, i always ate fatty food, i was a gluttony eater,and i believe god finally gave me the wake up call i needed to change my diet and my life straight.
I just wanted to come to this site and share my story, and how i feel. I also want to ask you guys for a continued prayer for my health, and that god realy heals my GERD. That God walks with me each step of the way. Also that I wil lbe strong and walk with God till i die. Thank you guys for hearing out my story. If you have any questions please feel free to ask me
PRAY FOR ME!
- have a blessed one. Tony
