I've been in and out of the ER twice over the past 7 days, they still can't find out what's wrong but something's very wrong, I've been feeling very bad with muscle tremors and breathing issues. More doctor's visits ahead, very difficult for me right now. Requesting prayers.

 

Heavenly Father,
Allow Your healing hand to heal Shin,
restore his soul with Your compassion,
restore his heart with your courage and love,
bring him health in body and spirit.
Touch gently this life which You have
created and guided.
Amen

Thank you eschator.

Shaking, chills, fever, and especially breathing problems sound just like my covid.  For most of the last week the message I got was unless my temperature stayed below 102 I'd have to go to ER.  I agreed to go to urgent care and they were encouraged that my lungs seem clean and strong.  Ironically they gave me my first covid test, which said no covid.  Next they said not to get too hopeful, the test isn't very accurate.  I leaves me praying to trust and hope in God's Will, and that I can long for it, as I also pray for you.

How are you doing now eschator?

There are a lot of spiritual lessons in illnesses like these I am finding.  :crucifix:

Kyrie eleison.

I am very annoyed with myself that I missed, or forgot, your question how I was doing.  That first week in January was very strange.  I suppose whatever causes abrupt changes in bodily temperature can take a lot of our energy away.  Thankfully my wife kept feeding me Tylenol and that brought the temp down quickly, although not for very long.
Now I feel fine, but my wife is really troubled by abdominal pain.  She has had a bunch of tests without much indication of the problem, although they changed one of her prescriptions and that has helped.  We ask for your prayers for her, and we are very definitely keeping you in our prayers.

Lord have mercy, Christ have mercy, Lord have mercy.

O Jesus Good Physician, please heal and console eschator and his wife and their friend. Help them in their every necessity. Show forth your love and mercy in their lives.

St. Luke, pray for us.
St. Raphael, pray for us.
Sts. Cosmas and Damian, pray for us.
All you holy physicians of Our Lord, pray for us.

Our Lady of Good Remedy, pray for us.

A dear friend of mine sent me these words of support recently, I'd like to share them:

"...as the eyes of servants look to the hands of their master; as the eyes of a maid to the hands of her mistress, so our eyes look to the Lord Our God, till He has mercy upon us"

Psalm 122: 2

Prayers for folks in need here.

Please remember me in your prayers.

I am declining more rapidly now.. there are times when my whole body is shaking.. I am unable to sleep and experiencing strange pains.

It is very hard.

May God have mercy on you, may He grant you forgiveness and peace. May the Lord establish in you the hope of eternal life. May the Almighty and merciful Lord, grant you pardon, absolution and remission of all of your sins. May God send His Holy Angels to minister to you. May the Holy Mother of God intercede on your behalf and may the promise of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ give you hope in the world to come as He who has called you is Faithful and True. May God never abandon you and may His love be your consolation and sweetness as you await eternal blessedness in the Paradise of God. Amen

Lord Jesus Christ,
You gave power to your disciples for healing and other righteousness,
You promised that all who believe in You would do similar great works.
May we call on your power to heal Shin.
We pray in Your Holy Name,
Amen

I think we haven't heard from Shin for too long.  Let's all pray for his recovery and well-being.

Thank you my friend for your prayers.

I am still managing here so far, though I am shaky and drowsy at times from the medication. The prayers are much needed and appreciated.

I keep hoping my health will stop declining and I will find a cure rather than just treatment attempting to restrain the symptoms.

I will see some new doctors in the coming couple weeks, thanks be to God.

Prayers for you and your wife and friend. Prayers for everyone.

May God have mercy, abundant mercy. Kyrie eleison. Christi eleison. Kyrie eleison.

Sigh. Tonight another significant decline.

I was speaking too soon saying I am managing. The muscle spasms are getting much worse.

The medication is not keeping up with the decline.

It is urgent, do pray very much please.

Today I prayed for your healing as I touched a rose pedal sacramental of the reported apparitions of our Holy Mother at Flushing, NY.  I was born near there and visited the World Fair site several times.  Sadly the Bishop will not approved the apparition, but there is for me a strong sense of holiness and awe about the prayer card.  I pray your healing can be added to this legacy.

Have the doctors miscalculated the health conditions? Is it possible someone did not conduct the right test or was in a hurry and skipped part of a test?

Hey Shin.

I haven't posted before, but I have been reading the forums for some time. Thank you for all the work you've done, especially with the website and the resources that are available. I want to thank you in particular for the spiritual readings. Thank you for all of the saint quotes. I pray Our Lord rewards you abundantly for it. 

I know you've been declining in health as have you said. I hope that you get better. I will keep you in my prayers and I will offer a little to Our Lady. Also, next time I receive Holy Communion, I will pray to Our Lord for you. I'll ask others to pray for you too. Please keep us updated on how you're doing if you can.

God bless you for everything and Mary keep you. May the saints intercede for you too.

Thank you so much for the prayers.

I hope I will find a cure soon. I see another doctor on the 21st.

I am glad the spiritual readings have benefited you.

I hope in the future I am able to recover enough to gather more saints' quotes, I want to gather more quotes on love and mercy and sickness.

Kyrie eleison. Christ eleison.

I am not sure what is going on with testing, I think there is more that should be done but it is the doctors who make the decision. I have gotten some tests done through private labs and will get more this way done. I am studying as much as I can to figure out what tests might help and trying to find doctors who will spend more time and communicate well.

Yes, I've been taking a look at St. Louis De Monfort's the Secret of the Rosary and some works by St. Alphonsus Liguori. I can learn so much from the saints. Also, may the Lord permit you to obtain enough strength to get more quotes.

It sounds like addressing the illness and finding a cure is a trial in it of itself, apart from what you already suffer from the illness. May the Lord give you strength to bear it and may He permit you to be healed. May Our Lady keep you under Her Mantle. My little prayers will be with you.
