Prayer request: I have Graves disease

    • Please pray for me. I sinfully feel this is a death sentence. I was prepared for diabetes because of a weight change (I'm 5'6, 100lbs, down 30 lbs from a healthy norm) and sudden vision blurriness (from 20/20 to 4-digit near-sightedness in a month), but instead my doc said blood tests revealed a hyper-active thyroid (Graves disease) that will apparently kill me if I don't have radiation iodine or complete thyroid removal. Soon. (And if I have the radiation stuff, I'm facing lifelong tests out-of-town that we simply can't afford.) 24 hrs ago, I didn't know I had a thyroid.

    Of course I called the priest first thing this morning (and just used "hyperactive thyroid", since "graves" disease sounds like a self-fulfilling prophecy), but I see nothing good in this. So pray first for my faith in seeing the good in this sudden whammy, and then for a functioning thyroid. (I believe in radical miracles! They've happened before!)

    I have children.

    My name is Tracey. "Heal Tracey's thyroid completely if it's in Your Holy Will" (or something more appropriate if you're a doctor), plus a few Aves. My name saint is Cecelia so I'm thinking, vocal chords, thyroid.. close enough. Her intervention would be sweet.

    Thanks; God Bless.

     St. Francis Xavier threw a Crucifix into the sea, at once calming the waves.  Upon reaching the shore, the Crucifix was returned to him by a crab with a curious cross pattern on its shell.

    •  :pray: Prayers being said for you.  While I pray, here's something for you to read,

    http://thyroid.about.com/od/hyperthyroidismgraves/a/graveshyper101.htm

    After reading your request for prayers, I remembered that Barbara Bush had Graves Disease while her husband was in office and that was some time ago and she's still around.

    While CI members pray, you should research Graves Disease and listen to your doctor.

    May God bless and keep you!

    • God allows the devil to sift his people to show who the worthy are.
    The way to heaven is paved with stones of rock hard suffering.
    Trust in God and in the friendship of the saints.
