Very sick and little family support

[Chopper45]

Hello everyone,

I recently had a surgery that changed everything. I cannot sleep anymore. I developed a neurological disorder that messed up my sleep, but unforutnately the doctors cannot detect this since my blood results are all normal. They keep saying its due to anxiety and depression when I know thats not the case. I have weird hypnic jolts in my sleep that do not allow me to fall into a deep sleep. So I barely get through the day and feel like a zombie. I tried sleep medication, exercise, eating right, and drinking more water to no avail. I would pray to Allah and make dua everyday I get better. I would surah al-baqarah and even did ruqya on myself because I honestly though someone did black magic on me. I've never so tired and sick in my life and the worst part is no one believes me and thinks I'm just lazy.

I am basically bedbound, but I still have to work to survive. I am barely making it through school. I'm losing hope because my family won't support me and thinks I'm making it up but wallah this has been my hardest struggle ever. I feel there's no hope and I may be this way forever or worse (homeless and sick). What am I to do? I've been to every specialist and they say they cannot find any problems in MRI or blood tests but I know something is off in my body. I feel as if I cannot move everyday. A horrible chronic fatigue I don't wish on my worst enemy. I believe its chronic fatigue syndrome. I am even thinking of quitting my masters and just working a small part-time because my body is so frail. I have lost all possible hope.:cry:imsad

Nowadays people all over the world are developing all sorts of physical and mental ailments due to a number of environmental reasons. I've read many accounts of people who have serious, extreme chronic mental and physical debilitating diseases who have been able to completely turn their health around simply by radically changing their diet. I've been studying a lot about it as my son has autism and we've been keeping him on a super strict diet. He gets all the various types of nutrients he needs but is restricted in eating a lot of junk that we'd consider safe. After one year of this we have noticed dramatic improvement in his behavior and cognition only due to first and foremost, Allah's Rahma and then thorough his eating habits.

In this wonderful modern world of ours, our food is laced with poisons. There is a lot of suppression of information and disregard regarding treatments that are very cheap and inexpensive and, at the same time, almost miraculously effective in their results just by using basic foods while lowering dramatically the toxic load off of our systems.

Here is a link to a podcast given by the WestinAPrice Foundation. They specialize in using food as medicine and healing oneself through proper diet. You'd be amazed at what diet can do. I gave you the link to their last page which has their first episodes. I'd recommend listening to whatever episodes interest you from the beginning. There, there is more core foundational understanding while the newer episodes are dealing more with political issues which you don't need to bother yourself with unless you want to.

Physical and mental sicknesses are on a massive rise and constitutes a silent epidemic that no one is talking about even though they should.

You can ask if you have any specific questions.

As a basic measure, though, you said you did ruqyah. Try (if you haven't already) to recite before going to bed the last 3 surahs three times along with ayatul Kursi while in Wudho. This will inshaAllah provide specific protection during the night since this is what you said was a main problem.

Also, did the doctors give you anything or inject you with anything during/after the surgery?

Remember, Allah is One who Heals. May He Grant us all Shifa and keep us in good health.

I hope this proves helpful.

Thank you sister. You are very right about health and what we eat. I was always relatively healthy (I was just always tired) before the surgery, but now it feels permanent damage has been done to me. I don't know if Allah is punishing me or giving me a big test. My problem just feels deeper than diet. I could cut out sugar completely and go glutenfree
Although I have cognitive function it almost feels as if I'm a cancer patient e eryday I get up from bed. I'm on a slow decline with memory issues, brain fog, and headaches. My blood pressure is always low so i want to faint. It's not tired. It's most like I feel I haven't slept in 4 days and I wake up with that feeling everyday. Nothing makes it go away. I'm also having severe problems with bowel movements and simply just can't walk without taking a break. The worst is I'm in my early twenties and I'm not even overweight. I just feel like I'm dying in a 40 yr old body.

I just hate being under pressure from my family when I might just have an autoimmune disease that got triggered after the surgery. My tiredness became exhaustion after. No one around me gets It's not a matter of changing my routine. I barely can walk out of my house for three months.

There's not enough research on chronic fatigue. It's even hard to get a diagnosis and getting disability in the u.s. for such a thing is very difficult. There's not even a known cure or diagnostic test to detect it you just have to come across a doctor who can notice your symptoms and connect the dots. It's like a invisible illness. I just don't know why or how I'm going to live with such a thing.its like one of those rare illnesses that can be easily misunderstood as just being lazy. I've always been active. But this disease has stolen a lot from me

Assalamu Alaikum.

Firstly every trial that afflicts a believer is good for them because it is a sign that Allah wants them closer to him. It is a way of expiating sins and also enables one to gain immense and immeasurable rewards through patiently persevering. For Allah is with those who are inflicted by trials and hardships as long as they do not become impatient and blame him.

We must remember that on the day of Judgement when we see the rewards of patiently persevering through trials and hardships then we will wish we went through so many more hardships and trials to the extent of being cut up into pieces as a Hadith describes just so that we can gain the immeasurable rewards of patiently persevering through trials and hardships. Please look through the following thread to help through trials and hardships:

How To Get Through Hardships & Trials!

With regards to your situation then I would suggest you find a good reliable and reputable Naturopathic Practitioner/Doctor to help with your issues. Modern conventional medicine does not have the answer to most issues as it is run by big Pharma that advocates toxic medicines for any ailments and illnesses.

It seems as though your adrenals are completely shot hence why you are suffering from Chronic Fatigue. So it is only through the correct diet, nutrition and supplementation that you can try and correct such an issue. What is fundamental to most autoimmune conditions is to correct hormonal imbalances and microbiome levels as good gut health is fundamental to try and resolve many of our health related issues. Gut health can be significantly effected by taking many toxic conventional medicines like antibiotics and many other conventional treatments. So this must be corrected immediately.

Your condition is also further exacerbated by having high levels of stress or trauma. So stress management is fundamental to corrected many of the health related issues we face Also consider fasting Mondays and Thursdays and to have cupping done. Stop consuming caffeinated substances immediately which further puts pressure on the adrenals.

Look into the following article:

If you need anything else then please do not hesitate to ask.

May Allah give you Shifa and reward you abundantly for your patience. Ameen

Apologies for the late reply.

Spot on. The West has failed miserably when it comes to chronic illnesses especially. Big pharma is indeed one of the main culprits. For pretty much any chronic illness, all that is done for the person is they're given pharmaceutical drugs that only lessen symptoms. The Western medical establishment has become a very dark and despairing, industry. People go to doctors with very seriously debilitating life-long illnesses who just tell them, "there's nothing that can be done" "Here take these pills." "There is no cure in sight and there probably never will be".

Contrast this with the Hadith of the Prophet (Salalahu 'Alaihi wa Salaam):

“Allah did not send down any disease but that he also sent its cure.”

In another narration, the Prophet said, “One who has knowledge of it knows it, and one ignorant of it is ignorant." (Ibn Majah)

It looks like these doctors are of those who are ignorant.

These hadith are very hopeful and inspire within a sincere medical doctor the urge to continue seeking the cure, confident and certain that there is one even if he/she doesn't know what it is. Not like the majority of mainstream doctors today who just shrug their shoulders and say "Ehh, there's nothing we can do"
@Chopper45 Check out the Weston A Price Foundation. A link is here for their podcasts: https://www.westonaprice.org/podcast/

I would suggest listening to their old episodes first as those are more foundational.

For serious measures, look into the GAPS diet. My son has been on that diet strictly for about a year now for Autism and his behavior and mood have improved tremendously. He used to have very serious meltdowns where he couldn't control himself. He doesn't get that at all anymore and he's the most polite little guy you'd ever meet (He's 3). The GAPS diet is basically a full revamping of one's immune system. You rebuild your immune system from scratch. It's quite intense (about 2 years) and you're going to have to love drinking bone broth for a while, but it's very effective.

Seriously, I have gone over tons of anecdotal evidence of people with conditions like yours and even far worse making complete recoveries by just drastically changing their diet. One of the most common first to notice effects people keep reporting once they start to heal is an increase in energy.

One absolutely amazing quote I found recently was from Ibn al-Qayyim whose words touch on this modern-day problem brilliantly. He said in his book "Healing with the Medicine of the Prophet" (Sallalahu 'Alaihi wa Salaam)

In it he states: (page 24)

"...the type of medicine that the Prophet and his Companions used to take was nothing like the chemical mixtures that are called Aqrabathayn (pharmacopeia). Rather, the majority of their medicine consisted of only one ingredient.Sometimes, they would take another substance to assist the medicine or make it taste better. This was, and still is, the case with most of the medicine used by many cultures such as Arabs, Turks, Indians and nomads. The Roman and The Greeks, on the other hand, use a mixture of substances or remedies in their medicine.
Many experts agree that whenever an illness could be fought with nourishment and diet, then medicine should be avoided. They also agree that whenever it is possible to use only one substance or ingredient as a remedy, a compound remedy should not be used. They are also of the opinion that the body will be harmed if doctors overprescribe medicine..."

He then prescribed that medicines should be similar to what the patient is used to eating:

"The most experienced doctors use medications that contain one ingredient. The medication should be similar or related to regular foods that the patient is used to eating. Cultures that consume one or only a few types of food in their regular diet, generally suffer from few illnesses, and they should not use compound medicines. Those who live in cities and whose diets are complex, need medicines that are a mixture of several substances or ingredients, as these are the types of medicines that are most suited to their illnesses. The ailments of the people who live in the deserts are usually simple and thus simple medications are suitable for them. These principles entail basic facts that are known in the medical profession."

SubhanAllah! Absolutely brilliant!

Nowadays we are all in the position that it is our responsibility to find/figure out the solutions to our own medical problems and of that of our families. We can't rely on the mainstream medical community. They're not even interested in finding cures for our ailments. It's not good business. They got the 'perfect' business model set up: entire populations of people who are not sick enough to die but not well enough to live who struggle on for decades hopelessly dependent on drugs for at least some relief. They don't want to 'discover' cures for these ailments. Especially if it's found out that most of our remedies can be obtained by purchasing ingredients that can be found in our local supermarket. They'd go out of business.

We have to do our own research and seek out the cures and treatments that Allah's Messenger promised are there.

It's truly criminal. May Allah make those responsible eat from the tree of zaqqum: which neither nourishes nor provides satiety from hunger.

And may Allah, the One who Heals, Heal us from the ailments that afflict us and our families and help us to find the cure. Ameen.

Assalamu Alaikum,

Im so sorry you're going through all this pain sis. May allah grant you complete shifaa and compensate you with what is better ameen.

You definitely may have some auto immune issue which would be difficult to detect. It may possibly be a thyroid, hormonal, or vitamin/mineral deficiency issue which often drs will overlook.

Regardless, keep doing ruqyaa on yourself and seek an autoimmune specialist and an endocrinologist. What you're experiencing may just be symptoms of an underlying issue and not actually the issue itself.
