Ups and Downs continue....

We wanted to give a little up date on Beth's condition for those that are still reading. Beth has continued to have up days and down days. It seems primarily now that the symptoms continue to be anxiety related. The sublingual pill (Levsin) she has been taking and it seems to have taken care of the esophagus pain almost completely. She has mentioned yesterday and a little today that the pain is somewhat there. She still complains once and a while that food will get "stuck" in her esophagus. As well, she has really struggled with some sort of sore throat due to "gunk" being in there. All the tests which we had done two weeks ago now came back negative, so there is no news there. We have been speaking to several people and are now wondering if any of what Beth has been battling with is more chemically related than anything else, especially with the feelings of anxiety. So, we are checking into some of those things. At this point we truly don't have a diagnoses which has labeled everything going on. We continue to pray for God to sustain us with strength and patience as we endure this trial. We thank you for praying and encouraging us during this time. Thank you so much! Many blessings to you!
