I apologize. There is nothing more annoying in this difficult process than someone swooping in with an opinion with almost no context. What you are having to deal with is not fair. I'm encouraged by what I've read in this blog that through it all, you're fighting hard. When it seems to be too much to handle though, lay your worries at the feet of Jesus and let him hold you. You are so loved Emma.Adamnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3880358285197113233.post-27185300064202849232009-03-28T16:57:00.000-05:002009-03-28T16:57:00.000-05:00"high heart rate -- not normal!!! :)"lol smiley fa..."high heart rate -- not normal!!! :)"<BR/>lol smiley face.

I'll be praying for you. Also, I know they are testing for a ton of stuff and I'm not a doctor and am not trying to pass any judgment at all. But my family (mom, aunt, brother, granddad) has a history of a disease called Porphyria that is rather rare, but has many of the same symptoms as you are showing. It took forever for my mom to be diagnosed because many doctors are told that they'll likely never come across a case and most have only briefly studied it in med school. it's probably not what you are struggling with, but perhaps worth asking about. Initial testing is remarkably easy to do (It's a urine test) so it couldn't hurt to ask? Regardless... after watching my mom grope for answers for years before being diagnosed, I understand how difficult this time is for you. I am praying for you and I know God will lead you to an answer.Adamnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3880358285197113233.post-41354285030523468302009-03-27T21:49:00.000-05:002009-03-27T21:49:00.000-05:00Hang in there Emma.
