~ Helen's Place ~

---------------------------------------------------------
I am back on a healing things again! For a number of months now
I have been doing quite well health-wise - it was nice to feel
'almost' normal again! I had almost forgotten what other people
feel like! :)
Then, last Wednesday it hit. I am not sure what the problem is
and my pattern is to wait before rushing to a doctor.
Wait -and listen for guidance.
Eating or even drinking is a problem. It seems more than a baby
sized bowl of food will come right back. This is a problem
because certain of my medications MUST be "taken with food".
Last night I took only two heaping Tablespoons of yoghurt with
my meds...and in five mins last the lots!! The other problem is
the continual tiny burps...two nights it kept me awake. When no
food is present it is like a tiny pop in my throat.
I have check on-line ( always a mixed blessing) and it 'may' be
a hiatus hernia, or a few other things.
Any way, enough about that.
I have received healings before..so I am looking to the Lord for
this too-and for wisdom.
The word says Mark 11.24 "Therefore I say unto you, What things
soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them,
and ye shall have them." So, to pray and not believe we have
received is a lack of trust in He who spoke it!!
"We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written,
I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and
therefore speak"
I am one who convinced that healing is in the atonement,
therefore it is a promise to be claimed in faith.
Even if you don't believe as I do, could you please pray for me,
because whatever this is needs to be dealt with. Even fluids,
more than a few sips, will sometimes return.
My heart is also in AFib again right now, which doesn't help at
all, I am pretty much 'laid low' at the moment!!
Thanks for your prayers....H

[font=trebuchet ms]Sorry you are not feeling well, Helen. Will
gladly pray for you.
I'm still having reflux problems and the timing seems to have no
rhyme or reason. Nexium helped, but I had to discontinue
because it gave me abdominal pain instead. Trying apple cider
vinegar now, with Pepcid Complete now and then if needed.
Have always been a weak stomach person, but seems the upper GI
is going goofy on me. One tonsil is still funky, as well. Did
go to the doctor, but they didn't fix me. ::)
Do try to stay hydrated. Maybe try a bit of almond milk? It's
nutritious and helps coat irritated tissue. Gentler than dairy
products. Almonds are full of healthy benefits. Maybe a bit of
warm oatmeal with almond milk?
Will pray. :-*

Thank you so much Nancy. When He said " the trying of your faith
is more precious than gold" He obviously meant it!
I guess if there is no testing there can't be any overcoming
eh? :) My goal is to be among among the overcomers we find in
Revelation. But to be really honest, I more often than not find
myself being overcome!! LOL
Nevertheless no point in giving up now...we may make it into the
wise virgins yet, by the skin of our teeth .. :)
I must say I fixed the night-time reflux thing by buying a
head-raising thing at 'Bed & Bath' store. It was only $40 and
works so well. Its solid foam ( as in not squishy)..I had to put
an old comforter over it, underneath the sheet because it was
too hard like sleeping on a brick. Now it's perfect. I've had it
about a month now and it's fixed the problem :D cheesy smile.
It raises the head about 10" and I have a nice soft pillow on
top. I have to watch that I sleep right at the top and not slide
down, ( which would be less head lift) It took me about a week
to get used to sleeping at an angle...but well worth it as I
don't get reflux. And now it feels like I am sleeping flat...it
doesn't take long.
Now I have the silly thing when I am only eating enough for a 2
year old or it comes back up.
I have five spoonfuls of soup...then have to wait as my gullet
feels too full, and one more spoon will come back. :'(
But, I am relaxing this weekend and will see what or if God
speaks anything to me about it.
What bodily wrecks some of us are...not quite the 'army of
victory' eh? :)
Lovely to come on here and see your post...it made my day.
Please tell Kevin we have not forgotten him in our prayers. x x

I've been told that throwing up can mean you need to replace
some of the chemicals that are usually in the stomach.
There's some kind of salts that gets lost. If it's not
replaced, you can't digest food right until you get enough of
those salts to replace it. I found this --
HTML http://www.wsupgdocs.org/family-medicine/WayneStateContentPage.aspx?nd=1560
At first you should rest your stomach for a few hours by eating
nothing solid and sipping only clear liquids. A little later you
can eat soft bland foods that are easy to digest.
If you have been vomiting a lot, it is best to have only small,
frequent sips of clear liquids. Drinking too much at once, even
an ounce or two, may cause more vomiting.
Clear liquids you can drink are water, weak tea, bouillon, apple
juice, and sport drinks. You may also drink soft drinks without
caffeine (such as 7-UP) after letting them go flat (lose their
carbonation). It may be easier to keep down liquids that are
cold. Suck on ice chips or Popsicles if you feel too nauseated
to drink fluids.
Your choice of liquids is important. If water is the only liquid
you can drink without vomiting, that is OK for a few hours.
However, if you have been vomiting for several hours, you must
replace the minerals (sodium and potassium) that are lost when
you vomit. These minerals are also called electrolytes. Ask your
health care provider what sport drinks or other electrolyte
replacement drinks could help you replace these minerals. Avoid
liquids that are acidic (such as orange juice) or caffeinated
(such as coffee or colas) or have a lot of carbonation. If you
have diarrhea as well as nausea or vomiting, do not drink milk.
It is important to drink small amounts (1 to 4 ounces) often so
that you do not become dehydrated. Gradually drink larger
amounts of the clear fluids. If you vomit, wait an hour, and
then start over with a smaller amount of fluid.

Thanks Kerry. This has been a strange thing, a bit scary at
time...the old mind goes to thinking "what if". What if for
the rest of my life I can't eat more than a few teaspoonfuls of
something , I will waste way.
I had one bout again yesterday I had three slices of mango...I
thought that would be safe...but it wasn't.
The thing is..and warning, this is gross...I don't bring back
whatever food has been swallowed, not even the three slices of
mango which was only MOMENTS before....but it is yards of , all
I can say is thick glue, clear as glass, no food ever in it at
all. I guess it is a kind of mucous. Once that is done I can
finish a few more bites of food. re your link...it always feels
like it comes back from the upper gullet not from the
stomach...it never manages to get down that far just sticks
there, it stops between the throat and the high top of the ribs.
I counted the calories I have been able to eat for the last
three days...it's between 400 - 550 calories per day!!
Today is a much better day...many people are praying with me and
Dave prays over me a couple of times a day.
Today I don't 'feel' like a sick person, I feel a bit empty but
not feeling ill like I have been feeling since last Wednesday. I
feel like it is on the mend now, maybe , little by little I can
get a bit more food down me. Water has been just as bad, if not
worse!!
Sorry to ramble on here LOL

Reflux that bad is surely down to a hernia of the Hiatus
diaphragm.
I've had that for as long as I can remember and it's always been
easily controlled by Lansoprazole Gastro-Resistant capsules
taken one per day before breakfast.
If the acidic digestive juices are allowed to get up into the
esophagus too often they can cause cancer so you really must
insist on medical attention.
Below the Hiatus diaphragm the stomach is lined to protect
against the acidic digestive juices.

Thanks Mike. My daughter has done an in-depth search on the
internet...which I know is good and bad.
She likes the forums that deal with the specific symptoms, that
was good she said.
I don't like looking at health stuff for myself as it scares me
witless. I don't mind for others :)
She also told me about a pill that can be taken once a day...(
maybe it's the same one) most of these people were on it and
said it changed their life. She said my symptoms fell
between Hiatus hernia and some other thing. So I will get that
pill. Plus I have done a bit of 'safe' none scary searching and
I will change my diet drastically. Making sure that I eat more
Kale, spinach ,salads which are alkalizing rather than sugary
stuff ( which I love) pies, bread and meat which are all acid
forming.
Today I feel so much better than yesterday..and have had no
'incidence' but I'm only eating a child-size portion at a time.
This aging thing is no lark is it...I am having a hard time
keeping all my bits and pieces in place. As soon as one bit get
sorted, another bit goes wonky. ::)

One hates to be a wet blanket. I am reminded that 'although the
outward man perish the inward man is renewed daily'.
Now if, and I say if, to the same degree that my bits started to
fail the man of the spirit waxed strong and powerful I could
then see a real advantage in the flesh becoming weak.
In my case the outward does become frail and the inward man
becomes a quivering heap of jelly without faith and very little
desire to force myself through another dreadful day of waiting
for the Glory that excelleth.
Indeed Lord just where is your army of overcomer's, we are as
someone once said "no better than our fathers"which is good
since the Creator used them to confound the armies of the world
and the power of the devil.
This gives me hope and if I can couple that hope with patience
and keep loving the Lord I am convinced I shall in the end never
fall.
Oh that will be Glory to me.........
Good hymn!

Very true James....I can relate. We can do nothing but believe ,
and keep on believing...until the end.
As the disciples said to Jesus , " To whom shall we go, you have
the word of life.."
