I have officially started school! It has been really good, and my brain is finally like "Yes, I am thinking" ;) Very sure I feel this way after every summer break! I also wanted to ask for prayers for me! I have been having pains in my chest on and off for the past 4 years and nobody really knew why I was having them. In July, I went to a doctor who recognized my symptoms as PVFD (Paradoxical Vocal Fold Dysfunction) and referred me to a speech pathologist. I was really nervous about going to see her because of my past record of medical professionals saying they don't know and sending me out the door. But, my Father in Heaven takes good care of me, and she has been awesome! After our first meeting I realized that I wasn't going to die, and everything was going to be ok! For those of you who don't know what PVFD is (that was me until 2 months ago!), let me explain. Basically it is the opposite of asthma. Instead of having trouble breathing out, I have trouble breathing in. The reason for the spasms/chest pain is my vocal chords are supposed to open when I breath in and close when I breath out. In my case, when I breath in, my vocal cords close, causing my body to react with shortness of breath, spams, and weakness. Back to the story, m
y speech lady wanted me to get checked for acid reflux, because she thought that is what might be triggering the PVFD. So I went in and got it checked out and they said I might have some acid reflux, so I am being put on a diet. As I look at the list of stuff I can't and can eat, I am really scared! My life is going to change for a while, maybe forever when it comes to eating. And I am not complaining. I know that if I do this I will probably feel better than I have in these past 4 years, and I want to be able to feel normal again! It is just kinda freaking me out! Jesus, I trust in You!!!! Thank you so much for praying for me every time I ask, and thank you for praying for me now! Know that you are in my prayers. Love in Christ! ~Becky
