Thank you for being here for all of us here on this forum. Craig, I hope you resolve your issues with your ex-employer. If you ever need to reach out and talk about it I'm here for sure. If it is too personal and you'd just like prayers and reassurance,no worries. I can do that too.
Hey Jayce,
I really appreciate your kind words and support, that is a great comfort to me at this time thank you. I would most definitely appreciate prayer at this time, it's the best gift I could have to know someone is praying for me. It's a long and weary story it's a bit upsetting to talk about at the moment but I will keep you posted and let you know how I'm doing, I'm trying to get some help and guidance with it at the moment.
I too will keep you in my prayers too Jayce and I am firmly believing that you are going to get better and through this tough time you have been going through - truly there is recovery and healing from this virus and you will get there, God is good and is going to get you through it Jayce, this virus is a terrible burden and strain but it will be lifted Jayce truly it will, and that's coming from me as someone who felt so ill and down and discouraged with it, it was down to God only that I was able to get better, and you will too - hang in there.

hi jaycee sorry i mixed u up w/ jorge-:-)
yes this will drag you down and crush your spirit for sure when you are strong in body you feel strong in mind and vice versa
i know how it feels to be strong and leaned on this too has shaken my core confidence everything
but im trying to work on gaining it back i felt lost in this
so i did an exercise; i wrote myself a letter who i am what i love why im great strong and awesome i read it daily outloud like bio feed back it helps me feel grounded prayer too* if you believe in God it helps so much gives you spirtual strength
this thing is still trying to abuse me i just hit 9 mos
its a rollercoaster the waiting is so hard waiting to heal when will i heal ughhhh tough
after this phase ive heard recovery is easier i see improvements but its so all over the place along with my standing symptoms it gets confusing to read your body
i just keep eating well and perfectly and pumping in the good nutrition and figure it will all balance out i stopped refined sugar right away refined white flour minimal whole grains as they add to fatigue with me clean whole foods raw juice i dont eat meat so i drink whey protein and eat eggs yes eggs (some say it feeds virus well it feeds me to so i need that nutrition) pedialyte water water & more water
i guess the more nutrients you pump in the better ?
its a journey and its the most difficult thing ive ever faced ive been through a lot too too much this is the kicker......
it feeds off stress and anxiety when i feel upset and dont completely cry and breakdown i try to do bio feed back "i will get well "i am getting well etc it helps the mind cope*
try to write some things down so you dont feel so broken as i know what youre feeling i truely do
youre not a weak man you just have an intruder who you have to fight against our bodies are stronger than this virus eventhough it makes us feel so lousy and down in all ways
try to stay stronger than you ever were before as this sucks the life from you
keep going keep eating well things will improve its a zig zag recovery but have faith
i hope this helps have a better day........
fatigue head feeling spacey sensitive scalp depression ADHD paranoia puffy area above eyes eyes feeling dry
Hey Starr,
This thing might try to crush your spirit but it won't succeed - even though you may feel weary, bruised, battered right now, this is temporary and God is going to give you the victory over this thing, I honestly believe that and still keeping you in my prayers.
That's a great thing you did writing that letter to yourself, definitely you're showing courage and taking positive steps to help yourself Starr. You're showing determination and fight in the face of frightening and unknown circumstances - take heart from that, God is giving you strength and will continue to give you strength until this thing is a thing of the past (and beyond).
It took me a while to get my confidence back after this virus, it really knocks your confidence and just want to reassure you that this is normal and understandable given what you have been through, but that your confidence will return as you start to feel better and see further improvements and breakthrough (which you will).
Some great advice on diet and drinking plenty of water as ever Starr - you are an amazing blessing to this forum and have taken the time to encourage and help me and others despite what you've been going through yourself - take strength from that! God sees that and is pleased I feel sure.
And most importantly - I want to tell you today - you ARE going to get well again and it's not down to you to defeat this thing alone - God is at work. I believe you won't have to go through anything as horrible and intense as this last 9 or 10 months and that a period of recovery, peace and healing lies ahead, thanks to God.
Thinking about you and keep the head up - God has got you protected and got this in hand, He is faithful and will pull you through. It's so hard when we don't understand why and when things go on for so long, I wish it was easier, but remember He knows what He's doing and won't ever leave you or abandon you, His timing and will in your recovery is going to be just perfect and come to pass, hang in there. Hugs!
Craig
Hi Gulja,
So sorry to hear that you have been experiencing such awful symptoms. Just want to encourage that if it is mono that you are going through or have been diagnosed with, that it will get better and the symptoms will fade and disappear completely with time. Just so frustrating that it can take a little while sometimes for things to start to feel much better- but please hang in there and truly let me reassure you that there is hope and full recovery and good health after mono - message any time it's a great forum here for advice / encouragement / support from kind and good people who really know what it's like to go through this awful virus.
Craig
