    Give LinMarie a hug

    • Prayer

      From ak17 January 29

      May God bless you and keep you in perfect peace. Here are some encouraging healing bible verses to uplift you. Remember, faith moves mountains and you can get through anything in the name of Jesus. Exodus 23:25 And ye shall serve the LORD your God, and he shall bless thy bread, and thy water; and I will take sickness away from the midst of thee. Psalm 103:3-4 Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases; Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies. Matthew 4:23 And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of sickness and all manner of disease among the people. Matthew 8:14-17 And when Jesus was come into Peter's house, he saw his wife's mother laid, and sick of a fever. And he touched her hand, and the fever left her: and she arose, and ministered unto them. When the even was come, they brought unto him many that were possessed with devils: and he cast out the spirits with his word, and healed all that were sick: That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, Himself took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses.

      LinMarie hasn’t entered any details for this support group.
    • Close Crohn's Disease & Ulcerative Colitis

      I have Ulcerative Colitis, SLE (lupus), Good Pastures Syndrome (1990), Bowen's Disease and Primary Biliary Cirrhosis (liver disease). I had total kidney failure in Jan. 1990, a transplant in Mar. 1993, return of Good Pasture's Syndrome in 2000, Kidney failure again in 2004. I am currently on home hemo-dyalisis. I cannot get another transplant until I have an ileostomy because of the very high risk of cancer with the anti-rejection drugs.

    • Open Goodpasture Syndrome

      I had kidney failure in 1990. The doctors thought the cause was the lupus but later diagnosed me with Good Pastures Syndrome. I had bleeding in the lungs too. I had my lungs drained & was on a respirator. In 1993 I had a kidney transplant (sister) which was a great success. The doctor siad it was highly unlikely I would ever get GPS again. It returned in 2000 but was discovered early enough to get treatment and save my transplant but in 2004 it failed and I am currently on home hemo-dialysis.
