Prayers, Help & much Support PLEASE!



I know this is strictly my fashion blog and I try to refrain from posting things that are too personal, but today I  am deeply saddened, I really need to share this with my fellow bloggers. A close friend of mine is VERY ill and doctors cannot figure out what it is, she has been in and out of the ER for what seems forever, I hope that with me sharing her story you can spread the word, keep her in your prayers, give ANY advice or anything that can help with finding out what is happening to her. Please like and join this facebook page Unknown illness of Denise Castaneda and invite anyone you can, the more people know the better chances of someone being able to help her PLEASE READ her story!



"Dear friends, as many of you already know, I'm very ill. I'm putting my story out there to try to spread my story as far as it
'll go to, hopefully, find a specialists, doctor, or anybody that can help me. It all started in early June when I would be throwing up more than 10 times a day. I went to the ER about 9 time, each time being sent home because the doctors couldn't figure out what was wrong 
because my 
vitals signs were ok. Until Dr. Gafar, from San Antonio Hospital, finally, admitted me to ICU after seeing one of my "attacks." An "attack," or "episode," would consist of, first, hiccups. Followed by vomitting. Then, shortness of breath until my heart rate and blood pressure would drastically drop to zero. Ultimately, causing me to pass out. These "episodes" would occur, at least, 10 to 15 time a day. During one of these "episodes ", I fell into cardiac arrest for a full 27 seconds. Due to my heart rate dropping everytime, I eventually had a temporary pacemaker implanted which, unfortunately, led to a blood in my right leg. I was quickly rushed into surgery to have an IVC Filter put in to avoid the blood clot from traveling to my brain. On June 14, I had a permanent pacemaker put in. The "episodes" continued all the way through mid July. So many different specialists from different places were brought in to see me, yet none were able to figure out what was wrong because they said they had never seen anything like this before. The hospital continued to run test after test in all the areas in my body, inside and out. When I was finally discharged, they "diagnosed" me with me partial seizures just because they could not find a true diagnosis. Ever since the "episodes" eventually went away, I've had numerous side effects starting with severe itch from my jaw line down to my chest, which continues to last even after 4 months. Also, I've had double vision and problems with balance, which also continues. In October, I began to develop cramps on my left hand. As time went by, they started getting worse. And now, I have severe muscle spasm attacks. These attacks consist of intense numbness on my hands, that continues throughout the day. In addition, my left hand starts cramping/stiffening up, which leads my whole body to stiffen up, as if I'm paralyzed. My body then begins to jerk forward involuntarily. It looks like a seizure, but doctors have said it's not a seizure because I'm conscious during the spasm. These spasms are taking a heavy toll on my body. There are even times when my stomach gets numb. Also, during these spasms, I get an extreme burning sensation throughout my right leg. I have also had swelling in my left hand. Due to me having so many spasms, my shoulder muscles are very stiff. So much so, they feel as if they're hard as bones. I regularly see my neurologist and have been to the ER about 7 times now to try to see what is causing these spasms, so frequently. Once again, the doctors don't know what these are or what is causing them. I am desperately seeking for someone to help figure out what is going on. I've been prescribed numerous medications, but none have seemed to work, at all. So, I'm asking everyone if you can, please, help me spread my story so that it can get to someone may be able to help me. Please help! Because I feel like this sickness is slowly killing me and it keeps getting worse. So, once again, I'm asking everyone to help try to spread my story. Please repost. Thank you! Your help would be highly appreciated!"
