I've been dealing with some health issues.... something has been wrong with my kidneys .. its been months and several emergency room visits and several doctors ...lots of tests, mri, mru, catscans and more...

I kept insisting it must be a resistant infection .... earlier this week I saw the urology nurse practice, and told her the same thing. So she order a special culture. Id several negative regular cultures. But she had seen a case last week like mine , so knew about this special culture.

I just got the call , yes I have a rare type of bacteria infection. New strong medicine called in .

Also a cautionary tale i guess, believe in yourself and keep fighting for yourself or your pets. Sometimes answers are tricky to find

Please add your prayers to mine. Please let this be the answer!!!! Please let me recover completely now. Please let the pain stop. Please please let this be all thats is wrong.

Oh my… I’m glad you have found answers it’s so defeating when a diagnosis is more than just something easy to find it’s like you have hit a dead end and feel hopeless but you have found your answers and I am sending prayers hoping that you heal and get better very soon❤️❤️❤️

Thank you so much. I had my mom with me and she said I look like hell...abd we wrr considering another emergency room visit.......its just so expensive....

So the phone call was pure relief! I was also finally given pain medication I can't wait for it to kick in!!!

My specialist has been wonderful and was trying to find answers. They knew something was wrong, but just couldn't figure it out. I still have a lot more tests n stuff.

But please, oh please let this be the answer and cure.

I would love a huge prayer circle from my flock.

Today has been so bad I haven't even let my parrots out of their cages....so that tells you...ugh.. I had reached my limit

This phone call was already an answer to prayer. Now I just want to get better.

The search for secret, mystery, hidden illnesses with the greatness of our current understanding within our medical industry is amazing. But, we find keep finding these; where the heck did this thing coming from?

I am so very happy that you have a name for it and that there is a medication. May you handle the effects well and we all look forward to a Healthier, Happier You, Good Friend!

Prayers from our family to you!!

well they were really trying for months!
They asked me a couple of times what did I think w as wrong? I said I feel really sick, I feel like it is an infection . I had several cultures. But for us and our birds or pets, it can be difficult cultures stuff. Its not unheard of to take several repeated cultures to identify.
I'm still a little scared because of needing to be sure this isn't the big C.......but all indicators are good so far that won't be something I have to face. Ohh such big prayers .

On a very postive note. Oh sweet pain pills have kicked in ...sigh...The relief!

I am so, SO glad you are getting a little relief from pain medication, and I'm so glad you persisted in knowing something was wrong and kept pushing for an answer. Prayers and love to you and your flock! I hope the new antibiotic does the trick and that you feel better very soon!

Fingers crossed 🤞 🙏 but for now no pain no blood, I'm so much stronger! Don't feel like I am about to die anymore. My color is back , not puffy.
