Headed back to Mayo Clinic in the morning. Flight leaves in 4 hours. 1st time I went, the right side of my body became paralyzed for 3 days. 2nd trip, they misdiagnosed me with brain cancer. I’m claiming in the name of Jesus, Moses and the whole New Testament that I will go this time and get some “you’re all better” type of news. Pray for me folks.
I feel weird about posting things regarding my health on social media sites, but it’s therapeutic to share what I’m going through and I want to help anyone who may be going through something similar. Sometimes I know y’all just don’t care.
With me going back to Mayo Clinic on Monday, to face this brain tumor, this link of actress Tamala Jones sharing her experience with her brain aneurysm as a health advocate at every opportunity she gets, I feel better about sharing what I go through. For me, and for whoever else needs to hear it.
If you are in pain, if you think something is wrong, go to the doctor. If the doctor brushes you off, take a page from my #mysteryillness book. Keep going till you find a doctor who will listen and give you answers.
Mayo Clinic… Came, saw, bought my kid a t-shirt
Got an update from Mayo Clinic Thursday on what’s going on with me.
It’s honestly a bigger picture than epilepsy, and it really could be the sum of the whole parts of what’s been going on with me the past almost 6 years of my “mystery illness”.
I am dealing with it, but not really ready to speak on it, because as okay as I am with it, I’m not sure if I’m all the way okay with it. And I don’t know complete answers to speak on it with certainty yet. Like I said, this is a very private situation, but people suffer with chronic illness, epilepsy, and other illnesses I have and feel isolated. Reading things that others go through and identifying with that feeling… it means a hell of a lot when you’re going through anything, but especially when it’s an illness that you can feel but no one can see.
I’m on 8 medicines right now, so I’m all loopy, so forgive any typos. I will be going back to Mayo Clinic in January for a brain biopsy, so Minnesota in January ought to be interesting.
But again, I ask for you guys to keep me in your prayers, and thank those who have and continue to do so.
I also want to say that November is Epilepsy Awareness Month, and November 1st is Epilepsy Awareness Day. Please do what you can do donate to epilepsy research, if it’s $1 or $100. Here are some reputable sites to donate to:
- epilepsy.com
- epilepsyfoundation.org
- cureepilepsy.org
Thanks guys.
