Sorry I've been out of the loop...update

[luvnGod]

Hi All,

I've been thinking of you all and keeping you in prayer.  I apologize for being out of the loop lately.  I had to finish out my school year teaching the little ones and now am one vacation at the beach.  It's been nice, but have really had to watch getting too hot.  On a positive note my ritalin was upped last month and has really helped my energy...the 10mg didn't do squat for me.  I saw the MS doc last Tuesday and he said he really feels the Celiac has causing choas within my body and now fully believes it has led to another autoimmune disorder.  SO figuring out which one it is is what we're facing now.

He still isn't ruling out MS, but is again trying to rule everything out since no lesions are showing.  He is testing for Devics Disease which I know is very similar to MS.  They took a lot of blood and I won't know anything for a couple of weeks.  I saw some of the things being tested...thyroid, copper, another Celiac panel, etc.  There were some abbreviations I didn't know, so I guess I won't know unless they come back positive for something.  Please keep me in prayer.  June has now marked 5 years  in limbo...something's gotta give.  I think back to 2007 and see how much has progressed since then....just sad ya know?  BUT, I'm so blessed to be here at the beach with my family, to see my boys splashing in the waves.  I am blessed that I have had more energy to cleean and play with them and not have to take a nap every hour.  

I miss you all...I guess a part of me also tried to stay away from the reminder of everything happening, BUT I realize I greatly need support and need to give support!  Love you all very much and pray you all are well!
Stacie

I so hope you enjoy your summer and keep feeling pretty good.  Enjoy every moment!  I wish you the best in finding out what all of this is.  We love the beach!  It is so beautiful and relaxing!  Enjoy!

Forgot to say I will be praying about the Devic's syndrome.
Hang in there and keep your faith!

Hey Stacie,
So glad you got the school year finished up and you and your family is having a good time at the beach.:)
You deserve the break and the rest.Enjoy!

I've been praying for you and I know the Lord is going to take care of you.
If it is another autoimmune/MS you will find out soon enough. Just take care of yourself and do what you need to for the celiac disease and it';s a blessing that the med is helping w/fatigue and giving you some energy.:)

Well, Take care and let us know how the blood work turns out.
Love filled hugs and many wishes for the Lord to bless you,
Tammy:)
