I hope you are correct but there are so many Americans who refuse to listen to anything negative about Trump. Three of my brothers are among them and are unwilling and not receptive to a message of hope. I lost 2 brothers a decade ago out of nine children and my parents also died more than decade ago. That left my family evenly divided but now one of my sister has been listening to my brothers and I fear she is also becoming unreceptive to reality. I have been blocked by my maga family. At first I thought it was funny but now I am deeply concerned because maybe there are other families out there who have members in the Trump cult. That is what trumpism has become, a cult. My health has been failing. I have an as of yet undiagnosed neurological condition. I am scheduled for a new MRI and hopefully will get some answers from the VA. It sucks not knowing what to call my disorder but at the same time a little scary. I have made plans to vote early just to be safe. Who knows I could possibly be one of the dead people voting Trump is so worried about which makes me extremely happy and proud I am able to get under his skin.
I'm sorry to hear about the discord in your family, especially when you're struggling with your health. I also salute your dedication to voting. These are times that try our souls for certain.
Patrick, I'm so sorry you're struggling with your health. The stress of the MAGA-Cult over nearly a decade, the loss of our families, the dire threat to our Democracy must surely sadly be factor in our health conditions. I struggle with anxiety and autoimmune conditions, isolation, and a sense of devastation having lost my family to MAGA, to having become the 'enemy' to the family I love. Our families don't even know they have been horrifically exploited by those who ONLY want power and care nothing at all for them. Our country has been polarized by those who want to destroy Democracy, as you know. I'm so sickened by this.
If you ever want to talk or be in touch, let me know and I'll share contact info. As you said, some of us have, overtime, become a family here on The Warning and it has been so helpful.
Thank you Lisa, I am hopeful that I will finally get some answers for my symptoms. I have taken many falls over the past few weeks and the VA has been stepping up their testing. Next week I see my Neurologist and the following Monday I am getting a MRI on my brain. I had a MRI 3 years ago that showed abnormalities but my symptoms improved so they weren't followed up. Unfortunately, they never told me about the MRI and I kept having relapses. However this past June my symptoms worsened and caused me to lose my mobility. Last night I fell out of my chair trying to take off my socks. I just want answers. Not knowing is worse than knowing because my mind goes to the worst possible outcomes when I look online and Google my symptoms. My wife has been wonderful but there are limits to her patience with me. Thank you for your offer but I don't want to trouble you or put you at risk for revealing your personal contact.
Patrick, four years ago I was diagnosed as having incurable, metastatic cancer and my oncologist told me that I had at most four months to live. But after six months of chemotherapy here I am four years later, still quite well and definitely alive.
Never give up hoping my friend.
And for the execrable Donald (Duck) to be kicked out on his big ass from ever being elected again as POTUS, and his crazy, dog and cat eating sidekick JD Vance left in his own shit, might do a lot to restore your health and mine too.
I am glad you are proving them wrong. Stay strong and I will do the same. My wife is also a cancer survivor. She has twice the courage and gives me strength.
Thank you, Patrick. I have been helped very much by having had both an MRI and a CT-Scan, as well as a help from a naturopath. I had a diagnosis of severe Rheumatoid Arthritis 16 years ago and was told by numerous medical experts I would need biological injection drugs or I would be in a wheel chair, as my father was for 15 years before he passed away. I took an alternative path to the drugs and found out that RA is in now in remission. This was three years ago and I hope this is still the case. Stress is a huge factor, at least in my own case, and as we've discussed this insanity going on in our culture, around the globe, grinds some of us down and it takes a toll. I dearly hope you're getting the very best medical help there is available, and the medical technology we having is incredible and hopeful.
Patrick, you have made some comments to me in this community that uplifted me when I needed it the most. Forever grateful and best to you in finding the help you need to resolve this medical condition. Take very best of care, Lisa
Another awful byproduct of trumpism-dividing families. Not surprising as he has divided America and the world as well. Best wishes to you, and thank you for your service, Patrick.
Patrick, I am soooo sorry to hear of your health worries and to hear that your family is so divided. It boggles the mind, right?
For what it's worth, my dad had your symptoms and was diagnosed with hydrocephalus, which is apparently very common now in older men as the diagnostics have become so much better to detect it. You have my best wishes for a full recovery, whatever it is.
That said, I understand your worry. Just over two years ago, I was diagnosed with a fatal and untreatable form of leukemia, and was given three years to live by a surgeon who was putting SO MUCH PRESSURE on me to do a stem cell transplant, which for this illness is almost a death sentence. So I went for two more opinions at top hospitals and was told I would likely live much longer, and screw the transplant.
So that's my advice to you. If you don't like what the doctor tells you, go to a different doctor! Lol! Curiously, and for reasons I can't explain, I'm more joyous now than I have ever been in my entire life. I have no time for bullsh*t or for fools, and the ejected weight has yielded surprising results.
While it's profoundly challenging to get bad news, there can also be stunning silver linings that can catch us off guard. No matter what your diagnosis, that's my wish for you. And as others have said, please feel free to reach out if you want to talk. We can send private messages now through our blogs on substack. Feel free to go to my blog here and DM me! I'm here.
Thank you for your kindness and support. I will accept whatever comes my way. I only need to find out what my diagnosis is so I can stop letting my worst thoughts override my mind. I gather strength by your experience with wish you the best possible life for you and your family.
Here's hoping your prognosis is good, and that your family will come to their senses. My brothers are like yours, and there is really nothing you can do except set a good example.
I'm sorry for the pain and suffering you have experienced through your family's brainwashing by maga ignorance and lies inculcated by trump and his ilk. Truth is still the lesser of the pain to living a life colored by lies and deception, gaslighting, and all those tools designed to keep truth out. Sadly it occurs to me that some folks like being deceived, and prefer to live in an alternate world built on deception.
