I've wanted to ask for prayers here before about this, but didn't want to cover up anyone else's request. But I decided to ask tonight.
I've been sick since our return from the cruise (Dec 28th). It's been a weird thing. It doesn't feel like the flu, (and I had the flu shot); it does feel like a cold, most of the time, with all the symptoms of a bad cold. It would be insignificant if it wasn't for the longevity - and other side-symptoms, like sudden bouts of extreme weakness and fatigue.
Tonight, I was up in the living room praying, very peaceful, feeling pretty good, not even a sniffle or cough. Suddenly, out of nowhere, I started throwing up. No warning whatsoever. This has been happening more frequently.
I'm seeing the doctor tomorrow. We're leaving very soon to go south. This doesn't feel so good. So I'm asking for your prayers for a speedy restoration to better health. Thank you...
...and I have to go to bed right now because I suddenly feel so unwell that I can barely type - I'm used to mental/emotional difficulty, but this level of physical unwellness is VERY unusual for me.

Eagle, when you read this in the morning know that my thoughts and prayers are with you. A couple of illnesses come to mind after travel, but that is not what you asked for. Also, I think that anyone who comes on and hits "active topics" will get all new posts even if they are in the same forum so no need to worry about cover up. I will include you in my evening meditation. Please never hesitate to ask; you have helped so many. I for one am honored and humbled to try to be of some assistance to you. Love and Light, Lynn

Sharon a woman who is an intuitive practioner has told me that the body can have a "cleansing" during inner emotional work.She use reiki and bowen . It is important to have medical checks but why would a body not heal in its own way? MA

Thank you everyone. I appreciate your prayers.
The doctor thinks this is some weird virus I picked up on the cruise, with the bad cold making it difficult to fight off. I'm still feeling somewhat unwell, but at least am able to keep food down.
The main reason I went to her is that we're heading to Cuba soon, and I need to be sure this isn't bacterial, because it's often impossible to get antibiotics there. We take lots of OTC stuff with us (and whatever we don't use we leave behind with the local doctor), and most long-stay tourists bring a supply of antibiotics "just in case" (and then leave behind if unused.) My doctor won't prescribe anything for "just in case", but normally it's not a problem because my immune system is strong enough to fight most things off quickly and without meds.
This level of physical unwellness is unusual, and rather debilitating. Hopefully all that vitamin D and fresh salt air will help.

I love you dear boomer sis!
