I feel a bit scared and sad 😢
Tw) I've been ill for almost 2 months now, with a unknown virus😥 it's nothing serious they don't think. But the doctors also told me a while ago that it would be a miracle if I live to 40 years old. And I'm half paralysed at the moment, but more than likely gonna become completely paralysed at some point. So yeah being ill with this for almost two months, I'm a little bit scared. I thought I was all mentally prepared for this, but I don't think I am. My body is ruined, I have no immune system and yeah! I'm scared. It's probably nothing cause I get sick alot, so I'm probably just being stupid.
@Tinywhisper11
You aren't being stupid. I'd freak out if the doctors said that to me, too. And why on earth would they tell you that awful stuff anyway. Hope is so, so important. It gives us something to keep fighting for. Plus, they can't predict the future. I'll tell you this much - my mother was supposed to die many, many times over the years, according to her doctors. She's been on life support twice. The doctors claimed there was no hope. Yet, she pulled through every single time. The doctors were amazed at her resilience. I also had an uncle that was in excellent health, according to his doctor. He died of a massive heart attack the day after his annual physical. Doctors can't predict when it's your time to go. They shouldn't be saying that stuff to you. I've noticed that some professionals are gloom and doom. They forget about the spirit of the person.
That being said, it sounds like you're having a rough time. Could you get a second medical opinion? Maybe a different doctor would approach your treatment in a more holistic way. It might help. I'll be thinking about you and sending healing thoughts your way.
@GoldenNest2727 ❤❤ thanks golden ❤ it does play on my mind when I get ill alot. My owners didn't leave me with much of a chance at a good life, and guess the doctors are just being honest. But I'm sure I'll be ok, just like the other times ❤
@Tinywhisper11aa I'm here if you want help
@allaouitige thankyou ❤
@Tinywhisper11 Hey my friend I’m sorry you’re feeling scared. Maybe we can’t do anything about out tomorrow but we don’t know for sure what it will bring. Maybe staying in today is better for our overall health. It’s hard to stay in today though I know. Hugs.
@FlatenedByLife hugs you back ❤ I actually always think it's better to live for the day too. Thinking is bad for our health🙂 stupid brains 😁😁❤
@Tinywhisper11 There is a case of a woman who couldn't find what her son had, and she used gpt chat to try to diagnose by uploading all the analyzes and diagnoses, and with the result she went to the doctor and they confirmed the diagnosis, you could try it, don't lose hope of getting better , luck
@lusna7 ❤❤ I wont loose hope, not ever ❤ thankyou for your kind words ❤
@Tinywhisper11 Relatable... @lusna7 Great suggestion!
That is really a great idea, to use ChatGPT. Ask the robot what the symptoms mean, ask how to boost the immune system, then go to the doctor with what the robot said, and get confident guidance. Make the doctor's job easier and more efficient! 😁
Our special Lola has to feel good, and when she doesn't 😢, she has to know she is at least on the path to healing! 🤗
Side note, I went gluten free for a while (an experiment to see if it would improve my health- I was being told by doctors that it was incurable or in my head; IBS and weak immune system, but no real advice, oddly. Reckon they had too many other patients to spend a lot of time on someone that had no easily identifiable physical cause? Pffft...).
As a result, I had to find ways to fill up and feel satisfied that were not processed, easy packaged foods. 😑 A pain in the *** at first, but then it actually became habit, and pretty easy. Roasting veg or making a salad (with a quick and easy vinaigrette or lemon/lime/orange juice) can be almost as easy as opening a tin of something.
You know what made it hard in the beginning for me? The idea popping into my head..."This is not easy...Why can't my life be easy like everyone else..." Then, for the first time in my life, I realized I was listening to thoughts, and just going with them, like they were a friend or something. LOL I was like, "Wait...I have never met anyone that honestly thinks their life is easy. Maybe I need to tell that thought to eff off, every time I hear it. 😆
I started eating easy to bake and roast meats (one day I want to become vegetarian, but I am not ready yet), a lot more fresh fruits and veggies, because after doing research, that was the only thing that I felt truly confident was gluten free. But, the side effect, more than anything else, was unintentionally boosting my immune system, and increasing the effectiveness of my gut function (less gluten or gluten free carbs = more fiber). I was really lucky to live where I live, because local markets sell fresh fruits and veg really cheap by the kilo. I hope you have something like that where you are. 🥰
Nowadays, I eat gluten in much smaller amounts, I eat healthier, and I feel pretty good! Cooking also makes me schedule meals with more discipline and structure, and I notice my body works better when it expects food at the same time every day and gets it.
Anyway, please do not see this as unsolicited advice, as all bodies are different, and who knows if what works for another person will work for you. I know you will do what you feel like you can do, and going at your own pace, and listening to or ignoring what people like me say? Well, you know you best. 🥰
So, my only real suggestion? Do you, unapologetically, all day every day! It is never stupid to worry (aka: think a whole, whole lot) about your health. Take a step towards what feels like the next best step, when ready. We cupsers are here for you, no matter what!
Please keep us posted on how you are doing. I wish you well, and relate 100%.
Giant tiny hugs for our giant tiny hug Queen! 👑🤗
(Oh my goodness...I am really showing my age with that gif...LOL)
@niceSea1350 haha! But what's worse than you showing your age, is that I know what that film is😂😂😂 Wayne's world party on! Party on!😂😂😂 I'm glad you found a good diet and it's helping you ❤❤ my situation is a lil different, I'm a resident in a old folks nursing home. I was out here cause they needed to find a safe place with security and I need 24 hour care. Tw)My owners didn't leave me with much of a chance at a good life. My spine is broken and not completely fixable, so my legs became dead weights and they had to amputate them a few years ago. Half of my fingers are missing they were cut off. My body is full of burns ,whip marks etc. my body is just ruined. I have a great doctor who comes to me here at the carehome, and nurses come regularly to check my weight and other things. I have issues with eating, it's a trauma related thing I only weigh 58 pounds. The care home is fully staffed, carers need to do most things for me, we have chefs so our diets are healthy, if I could manage to eat it😞 so anyways my point is I'm being looked after really really well ❤ I get treated like a princess 😁 and I'm really lucky to be as healthy as I am, thank God ❤ I'm gonna prove those doctors wrong and live to 269 years old😁😁😁 thanks for your kind message ❤ I love you ❤
@Tinywhisper11 You are such a beautiful, kind soul. You amaze me, every time you post. So much gratitude for where you are now, and I feel not a hint of anger or animosity for what you have been through when you post. I just do not have words for it. All I can say is thank you so much for being you. Inspiring is not even the right word, because I know I have no idea how to be who or how you are, and don't even know if I could learn it. Sending you lots and lots of love 💖
Thank you for responding to my posts. 💞
Last night, I watched BIoDome, with Pauly Shore. That had me thinking about Wayne's World today. The 90's were full of absolutely ridiculous comedies. Watching now, you can see them having so much fun filming that they cannot keep straight faces to say their lines. Back then, we didnt even notice that. 🤣 I think *** has become what these comedies were back then, because an hour and a half of that silliness? That is a lot to ask people to sit through, and to pay for, to boot?! Now, I can only do it for free, and even then... 🤣
Again, lots of giant tiny hugs for you!!🤗
@niceSea1350 That sensor is referring to the social media shorts. lol And:
@niceSea1350 loves you more ❤❤
@Tinywhisper11
I understand the feeling scared very well. I am so sorry. Wish I could make you feel less scared and be there on your side. You are not stupid at all. We love you ❤️ You are amazing just the was you are. ❤️
@kala awww thankyou ❤❤ this site is the only place I actually don't feel like a freak ❤❤ gives you a giant tiny hug ❤
@Tinywhisper11
Heyy.. stay strong. Remember that they said they don't think it's anything serious. So logically it shouldn't be. I've had some kind of virus like that happen to me before that just wouldn't go away, but I'm convinced it was partly stress. Nothing findable was wrong. So maybe stress of being sick factors in? As for what happens later on... I really hope it's better than all of that. It should be, you're a wonderful person, and I honestly feel like you've become the heart of this whole site. You've got a lot to offer, and regardless of circumstance, I think you always will. Anyway, I feel lucky and thankful to even know you in a limited online rando sort of capacity, and I know I'm not the only one. A lot of us are pulling for you. I hope hearing this helps at least a little. 🤗
@Torean it helps more than a little bit ❤❤ thankyou ❤❤ the kindness and support from people here brings tears to my eyes! Happy tears ❤❤❤ thankyou so much ❤
Sending a big hug to you Teeny! ❤️
You're not stupid. That would stress anyone out. As someone suggested, probably you can look for other medical options?
But I totally feel you. I'd always think I won't survive past 30 as I fall sick very often, too. Illnesses anyway bring a lot of negative emotions along with them. But, look at you! Your body is fighting for you and you're yourself a warrior. And no one can predict the future. I have seen a lot of people who have survived despite doctors telling them they won't. Don't give up. Not today, not ever.🌻🤍
Hope is a strong thing. Willpower is very important. Our body listens to us, too. You have already come a long way. Did you expect it? I guess no. Keep fighting.❤️
@Yougotmyback no I didn't. But yes I have come far ❤ I won't loose hope, nothing's gonna keep me down 🙂 thanks yougo ❤ I love you ❤
That's the spirit! So proud of you. 🫂
I love youuuu moreee! 💕🌻🤍
Sorry about the spelling blunder❤️🥲
Wish we could edit comments over here.
@Yougotmyback ❤❤ noooo! Spelling mistakes make me smile, I love autocorrect😂😂😂😂😂
I will someday tell you my autocorrect stories. They will surely make you laugh. Such blunders!! ❤️❤️😂😂😂
@Tinywhisper11
I can certainly understand, its a difficult situation. I would be scared too if I was in your situation and I know its easy to say that this will pass on, but I certainly know for sure that you are a strong woman. Despite being ill you keep everyone happy around you. Just know that you have so many wishes with you from around the world. Stay strong my friend, you got this🙂
@Comphi thanks comphi ❤❤❤gives you a giant festive tiny hug ❤

@CallumKing2000 oh no! My one nurse said the UK is all being hit bad with different colds and viruses this winter 😕 yes I hope we both get well soon ❤❤ sending you hugs ❤

@Tinywhisper11 hahaha nieee enjoy it, love your presence here u make me laugh when I am feeling low thank you
@Tinywhisper11
You're not being stupid Tiny, health can be a very scary thing. You are well within your right to be worried being sick for this long, even if it does end up being nothing.
Sending love and hugs 🩷🫂
@SomebodySpicy13 🙂 thankyou ❤❤ I'm sure it will pass and be nothing, just feel really ill right now😥
