I recently found out I have 3 diseases, I only know how to spell addisons and marfans out of the three though. They arnt pleasant to have and could even be fatal if certain things happen, so, Id appreciate any prayers you can offer.

You are in my prayers. I don't know if these are illnesses that doctors claim to be incurable or not, but we serve Someone that operates outside the bounds of meager human understanding. God bless you and may you receive His divine healing.
 
Hey Shark, make sure to let us know of any updates, and any specific ways you want us to pray. ie. healing, patience, God working through your illness. If there's something specific, don't hesitate to lay it out there. The God we love and serve is interested and involved in the intimate details of our lives.

Somebody once told me it's like telling your parents that you want a bike. Well, they go out and get you a nice blue bike, because you never told them that you really wanted a red one.

So, lay it out there. Sounds like this is a long term thing, which means we all get to see God move for a ton in your life. Also, if there's something that you need that any of us can provide, other than prayers, lay that out there too.

God bless you, and let us know how things are going, please.
 
Eh, well, I didnt really want to get into any specifics considering I dont usually publicly whine about my problems. But yeah, its a problem. At the top of the list is marfans, a connective tissues disease. Marfans can kill, and does regularly. Most commonly because of the heart. Marfan's effects the aorta and various heart valves. The aorta expands, at whatever rate it likes, now if the aorta decides that it has had enough... baboom. However, modern science is a marvel, and for those that are in the know and are kept an eye on, their aortic valve can be replaced. For some this can mean replacing the whole aorta. Hearts, as a muscle, also get tired. Which could eventually lead to heart failure from what I understand. Then there are the lungs. These can collapse. It also causes irritability and depression. And thats just marfans. Marfans is a hard disease to diagnose because there are no tests to specifically find it, its caused by one mutated gene. So far two doctors have diagnosed me with it and one said maybe, but we still have to go to some labs and specialists. I could explain addisons and fibromyalgia here, but this post is getting pretty big. So, if anyone wants to you can just do a search on google for any of the three and get any info on them. The physical and emotional problems these diseases cause, well, stink. So remember me in your prayers.
 
That stinks...but God will help you through whatever His plan is.

My mother has fibromyalgia, so I feel for you. It doesn't always cause happy days...
