going for a second opinion

Anything on your mind that isn't about RLS? It's nice to realize that there is life beyond this disease and have an opportunity to get to know our online family in a different context.

going for a second opinion

Post by ctravel12 »

Hey thanks Dee. This board is so wonderful. I am so blessed with this family.

Yes, I agree that I got that appt soon because of prayers and I thank you for your prayers too.

I won't say that I am not scared because I am, but do not feel too bad. It is so strange I was on my way to church Saturday evening and I was driving by myself and I was still a little bit down so I just screamed as loud as I could. Would you believe that I felt so much better.

I just know God will pull me through this. Like I said in another post that God comes in so many forms, one of them is this board.

Thanks again and starting to feel human again 8)

Oh Charlene, I hope they can give you some answers as well as some treatment. I'm having a bit of a crisis of faith myself right now, but I will light a candle for you.

Hi Susan thank you and thanks to all the rest of you. We will be leaving tomorrow as I have to be at the Mayo Clinic by 7 am Monday 1-29 and then see the specialist at 8 am. I will keep you all informed.

I will have to let them know on Monday that this past Thursday I will dizzy all day and night and finally feeling better today. I am sure that is happening as I have alot of on my mind. I guess this is bothering me more than I want to admit, but know that God is on my side and things will be just fine.

Thanks for all of your prayers and to the rest of the family.

Charlene,
I have your appointment written in my calendar so that every time I look at it tomorrow I'll remember to hold you close. We're with you, honey. Let us know how it goes.

Hi Brandy Thank you so much for your kind words. I have been thinking about you and wondering how you are doing. I hope that you are doing much better. I have you in my prayers everynight that you get the much needed relief that you deserve.

I am also keeping Em in my prayers as I have read her last few posts and she is going through some rough times.

I thank God for this wonderful board that I have had the priviledge or should I say the honor to know each and everyone of you.

I hold all of you very close to my heart.

Love all of you very much. May God Bless each and everyone of you.

I will keep you and everyone else posted on what happens at the Mayo Clinic.

You know God put me on this earth for a good reason and that is to be there for all you and give you as much as support as I can.
