Unknown disease

edited December 1969 in Prayer Requests
Hey guys, I have been having bad pains in my chest and other places and I have had more than 8 doctors and specialists  check on me and had numerous tests done and everything and everybody says I m alright.

I cant stand my condition anymore because it has been more than 4 months. It has greatly affected my spiritual life. At first I welcomed it as a chance to build my patience and perseverance but now I have become cranky all the time as some members on this site have noticed and I question if God really loves me.

I totally believe that God loves me but there are times in which contrary thoughts manifest in my mind.


In the end, no matter how good of a doctor someone is, only my Creator, the Great Physician can heal me and I have been praying a lot on this issue and it has gotten better but is still very much of a burden.

I really need your guys' prayers. Thank you and hopefully God will have mercy on His pitiful and sinful servant.

  • I went through the same thing. It can be extremely frustrating and distracting.  Just hang in there and remember all the pain He went through. I will definitely pray for you. Pray for me also.
  • Thanks Peter I appreciate it. I hope God will have mercy on me. More than He has already shown me.
  • The main culprit that needs to be excluded on an extended work-up is Lyme Disease.  Eventhough you may have had serology and titres done at a local lab, some scenarios require the blood work to be forwarded to specialized federal laboratories for more sensitive evaluation.

    Lyme disease can be devastating since it is very difficult to diagnosis with major implications for the heart, lungs, and especially the nerves of the central nervous system.  I would press the issue further--Geo.
  • You're in my prayers.

    Well, these eight doctors sent the 14 blood tests i did to facilities ranging from valley fever to other diseases but i will check to see the progress. They just let me go saying it was some sort of virus, and of course they don't know what virus since there are many mutations.
  • Specifically:  a federal lab for Lyme Disease Assays.

    Well, there are no red spots or anything so i don't think i have it, nevertheless i will tell my doctor.
  • It may have been from last summer or several summers ago when it digs in that deeply.

    Wow, it's amazing how far we have come medically and yet we see how far away we are medically.
  • Lyme is devastating, and the fact that there are many doctors who refuse to recognize it does not help.
  • Jeez, you guys are freakin me out. I just asked for prayer not a diagnosis of a horrible disease and its affects, lol.
  • it's probably nothing major, so don't freak out!
    i used to get chest pains from irritation of my rib cage, mainly due bad posture, which in turn was due to stress, which was due to not accepting the daily stresses of life.
    so keep up work on yr spiritual life, get that test done they want u to do, and try to focus as much as u can on God's love and not on yr problems. help others with their problems and that helps u to forget yrs.

    may God give u His peace and may u have many chances to go to church in the days ahead.
    may He fill yr life with all the spiritual treasures and also heal yr mind and body (as we sing in 'epouro')
