August 19, 201015 yr My wife has been feeling tired lately so off to the doctor she goes and they find a few things not quite right, thyroid off and liver levels off too. Turns out her immune system is attacking both of them so she had long need biopsy of both this past week. We are waiting for test results. Not easy for me or her either. A few more prayers for peace of mind wouldn't hurt. Thanks.
August 19, 201015 yr love to you both BI - hope too that its something simple - so hard waiting for this kind of stuff - hope you got some peace
August 19, 201015 yr Prayers sent; also be aware that once you have 1 autoimmune issue you often get more so be on the lookout for others! Thomas Hyper glucose and hypo thyroid and some arthritis...
August 19, 201015 yr Author Thanks for your prayers, still waiting, still praying. They have ruled out Lupus and cancer but say there are a half dozen other types of autoimmune to rule out, so here we sit. You know, getting old isn't for sissies. Thank God we've made it thus far, by His grace alone. :blink:
August 19, 201015 yr I know how it feels to have to wait on life threatening medical test results, I went through it with my wife years back. We will be praying for her health and your family as you go through these rough times. Jeff
August 23, 201015 yr Author We still don't have a firm diagnosis, still testing the little bits of liver to see what's causing all the inflammation of the organ. If you all don't mind please keep praying, Thanks, Jerry
August 24, 201015 yr Prayers here from North Carolina from me and my family. God Bless you and your wife and He will see you through these times.
August 30, 201015 yr Author I think all the praying has worked, Praise God! They ran some more blood chemistry, re-examined the liver tissue and told her to quit taking Tylenol and to come back in six months for additional blood work to see if it, the liver, is still in the normal range. It is still somewhat high but the enzymes are back down in the high normal range. The G.I. doctor is still concerned but not as concerned as he was, doesn't know the cause of the elevated levels, so it is wait and see for now. Thanks for all your prayers and praise God from whom all blessing flow, Jerry :)
