Hi,
I'm relatively new to the I Ching and have two readings here related to the apparent loss of function of my gastrointestinal tract. I'm not in a good way and the only reason I'm not in hospital at the moment is because I have very severe ME along with chemical and mould allergies, which make hospital stays ridiculously tricky and dangerous.
My gut has been problematic for a while but more recently, the deterioration has been rapid and for several weeks now, I've been unable to eat at all. I'm seeing a gastroenterologist as an outpatient and undergoing tests (so far inflammation observed and minor changes, but as yet, no cause), but the process is taking a long time and the determination progressing at a much faster rate. My next appointment for endoscope results is this coming Tuesday.
I first asked Yi the question 'What do I need to know about my gut?' and received 51.1.2 to 40. I initially (in my rooky-ship!) thought this might be quite a positive reading - that I might be more afraid than I need to be. Line 2's relationship to hex 54 made me wonder if the problem was of less significance than it appears to be.
My biggest problem at the moment is that I can't eat. I've lost masses of weight, surviving on an elemental baby formula and am borderline emaciated, so I asked Yi; 'What do I need to do to be able to eat and digest food again?'. I got 26.1.2.6. to 15.
At this point I sort of shrivelled up. My fear, which is pretty intense right now, is swallowing me whole - which is why I'd so much appreciate other people's thoughts on these readings. The three lines don't sound good to me.. danger, cart's axle straps have come loose.. and a quick glance has shown lines 6 has been associated with predicting death.
Any insights or possible interpretations from people more experience then me would be SO gratefully appreciated. This whole situation is wearing me down to the point of insanity!
