How is Jamie feeling?

Hello Friends and Family~
 
    I felt once I came back from Minnesota, I really left everyone hanging as to what was going on.  Some assumed I had relief or had been healed since I came back, others had told me how great or rested I looked.  I get questions every day about how I'm feeling or if i'm feeling any better yet, so hopefully this email will help everyone understand things a little better - and once again, Pray!
    It felt so good to get an answer to the problems I had been facing for so long.  However, little did I realize an answer just wasn't enough, I needed some kind of treatment.  I was put on different medications to help with the temporary memory loss and blindness I was experiencing.  This was due to what the doctors thought was Basilar Migraines.  After different medications that gave me very weird side effects and left me in bed for more days than I wanted to be, we realized this just wasn't right.
    The memory loss has gotten worse.  I now will loss parts of the day completely and not get them back.  Some of you had heard that I went missing the other day. I remember getting ready to leave for church and the next thing I remember is sitting in some restaurant in PA about 2 hours from my house.  I have not driven since May due to my double vision, yet somehow I managed to drive all the way there, pay the toll, and pump my own gas.  All of this I do not remember doing.  I went missing about 9 in the morning and didn't turn up until about 2.  I have also started to lose weight and started to lose my hair. 
       My family realized something was once again overlooked.  We had a test run to check for certain poisons and toxins in my body.  The test came back as quite a shock.  My levels were high in so many poisonous toxins.  I was low in several things as well.  The doctor we are seeing believes that my body is poisoning itself with all these toxins.  Some of which directly effect the neurological system and the brain function.  My body reached it's limit and is beginning to shut itself down (hair loss, memory loss,blindness, seizures,energy level,etc.).  With that being said, the doctor started me on six pills a day that will flush out these toxins and I'm also receiving a shot to boost my body back up with things I'm lacking.
    I'm telling you all this so that you know what is going on, and I would probably tell you anyway since I consider all of you my family.  But most importantly that you know how to pray.  Please pray that the doctors finally have it right and that this treatment I receive will give me some relief and stop anything else from happening.  One things for sure, I know as crazy as these things that have been happening sound, I'm NOT crazy.  When the doctor asked if I was willing to try this treatment in hopes that this would fix me, I said "Well, what else do I have to lose, besides the rest of my hair?"  ha  Thank you to all!  I will continue to keep you updated. Love you!
