Self-Coined Terms:
“Ferrante Syndrome” = “Doctor, help me! Doctor, help me! I’m not going crazy. Doctor, there is something wrong with my body! Doctors can not figure me out, so it seems as if “Ferrante’s Back...Again.” Oh No! Its that “Ferrante Syndrome” lady. No one knows what is wrong with her. “Ferrante Syndrome = Don’t you believe what I am saying, doctor? Why don’t you listen to my heart with your stethoscope? Don’t send me to a Nursing Home, for we both know that I will die there. I am too young to die. Doctor, you do not have a Diagnosis. Therefore, you will not send me to a Nursing Home.”
Good thing I’m a doctor. Had to scratch and claw my way up to improved health care.
What happens to people who don’t know the ‘lingo’ doctor’s language? I said the Magic Words: “You do not have a diagnosis”. And I made her look into my eyes as I pleaded for my very life.
“Aranda Syndrome” = Fight. Fight to stay alive. Use your sensitivities to listen to that still, small voice who is telling you to do something. Fight to eat. Fight to eat right. Fight to get proper nutrition. Fight to prevent Drug:Drug reactions. Fight to keep what health you have.Move your body and even if bedridden, do exercises. Keep your health, with whatever limits you need, If you are not fighting to make your body stronger, this inertia will end today. What do I do? I can listen to the Voice of the Holy Spirit. So can you. Give your Sufferings back to Christ, who suffered the most torturous pathway to Death. It seems backwards, but Praise God in all your times of suffering. Sing in Praise.
