Today has been a very hard day for me. I have been struggling with feeling faint and dim vision for some time now, and it seems to be getting worse.
I am under the treatment of an LLMD, but have not been able to overcome the feeling of faint and weakness.
My blood pressure when sitting, standing is usually around 110/70. My pulse rises to the 90s when standing. Have been diagnosed with Orthostatic Hypotension and Tachacardia.
Taking salt tablets, drinking sea salt in water, wearing compression stockings on legs which have helped pulse when standing, but feeling faint, weak, and dim vision continues. My blood sugar is normal. Cortisol test was normal
I have read where hypotension and tach can be a sign of low blood volume. My mom who is a cardiac nurse believes this could be the cause.
I know it is important not to give into fear, but today I have been really afraid. I dont want it to be the end of the road for me. I want to live and love people. I feel like I am losing the battle. Today I have just cried.
My Primary Care Physician is making an appointment at Cardiologist for me. I asked my LLMD if she would give IV in case there is autonomic dysfunction but she will not.
If you are a person who prays, I would be so thankful for your prayers. I really want to live.
Thank you,
Morningsong

I am praying for you....that you will be healed of the feeling of being faint and having dim vision.
I pray that you will feel strength because God hears our prayers and He loves you.
He will carry you when you cannot walk.
I pray that you will be guided to find the answers you need.

Praying for you, MorningSong. Do not be discouraged!
Isaiah 43:1-4 1 But now, this is what the LORD says-- he who created you, O Jacob, he who formed you, O Israel: "Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name; you are mine.
2 When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze.
3 For I am the LORD, your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior; I give Egypt for your ransom, Cush and Seba in your stead.
4Since you are precious and honored in my sight, and because I love you, I will give men in exchange for you, and people in exchange for your life.

Morning Song.. I'm so sorry to hear this. Let's hope and pray that tomorrow and everyday after that is better than the one before it.
God is merciful and hears your cries. Do not despair, for He is there. Keep searching and praying for a solution.
(like maybe a new LLMD)
a portion of Psalm 91:
9 If you make the Most High your dwelling--even the Lord, who is my refuge--
10 then no harm will befall you, no disaster will come near your tent.
11 For he will commmand his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways;
12 they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.

Sending my prayers your way as well. I hope and pray you are having a better day today.
I know you are afraid...but God WILL see you through this...you have alot of people praying for you...and we all know He does hear and he DOES listen....
Psalm 119:116 Sustain me according to your promise, and I will live; do not let my hopes be dashed.
Isaiah 35:4 say to those with fearful hearts, "Be strong, do not fear; your God will come, he will come with vengeance; with divine retribution he will come to save you."
I know this is rather long but It really touched my heart concerning what you are going through right now.
2 Corinthians 1: 8-11.....We were under great pressure, far beyond our ability to endure, so that we despaired even of life. Indeed, in our hearts we felt the sentence of death. But this happened that we might not rely on ourselves but on God, who raises the dead. He has delivered us from such a deadly peril, and he will deliver us. On him we have set our hope that he will continue to deliver us, as you help us by your prayers. Then many will give thanks on our behalf for the gracious favor granted us in answer to the prayers of many.
God Bless,
Karen

Thank you so very much for all your prayers, Scripture verses, and encouraging words. It really has meant a lot.
I am working on walking by faith, staying positive, and resting in the Lord. Had a good visit with the LLMD yesterday, and am spending time today getting physical rest.
Thank you so very much for all your prayers, support, and for being a friend.

Pray you're getting some good rest Morningsong.
A verse comes to my mind.
"Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their work:
If one falls down, his friend can help him up.
But pity the man who falls and has no one to help him up!"(Ecc 4:9-10)
Thank God for Lymenet "family". We are here for each other. We are here for YOU!

Having similar issues with possible poor circulation or blood volume being a symptom of yet undiagnosed, possible Lyme. God will see us thru. What he keeps impressing on my heart is for me to sit still and listen. And when things try to knock you down to stand and when it is over stand. I will try to keep everyone on this board in remembrance of my prayers. God bless you and keep you.
