i hope no one will be offended but I just wanted to say I am a Christian and this time at the moment has tested my faith. I still believe God is who he says he is and that he will help me if not cure me.
I am off the morphine at the moment and taking codeine phosphate only which doesn't let me do as much. Am definitely stiffer.
am taking mefernemic acid and amytriptyline and paracetemol.
i struggle with not being able to do things and am terrified of going back to my work on Tuesday albiet only for 3 hours.
Awww Minnie, I'm a Christian too...I am not at all ashamed of it either,.ive had Fibro and other issues now for over 23 years..yes..people often say, "if your God is real. Why hasn't He healed you". .?.. Mmm ....my answer is....me being like this had/has nothing whatsoever to do with God..we live in a world where things like this are rampant...He never gave me it..but He can and together we do use this affliction as a megaphone for Him, yes, I do..often. If I wasn't a Christian with sooo much good support I just really don't know what I would be like..often wonder just how others cope, who are non Christians....Yes. Of course I believe in miracles and I have seen sooo many especially in third world countries and here in Oz......I wait for that miraculous healing, but I know God still uses me in it..and the strength I have from Him is unreal...often I get asked why I'm sooo positive...it's God, for sure....there us always people worse off than me and their not saved....Thanks heaps for what you put out there and well done you for being soo bold Minnie, very well done be blessed and have a lovely weekend...:-) xxx
I'm also a Christian too and I don't think there is anything wrong with questioning your faith when you not well. Being a Christian doesn't mean that your under a safety blanket that nothing bad should ever happen to you. I've been incredibly ill for a long time and when my only child was born very disabled I must say I questioned my faith and asked God why?many times and still ask why? It's just normal but I just always try to remember "The footprints in the sand" poem I can't do a lot off things now with Harrison that I would love to do, and as he gets older things become more difficult. I think sometimes we will never understand why till we are in Heaven. My little son knows that he's loved unconditional and that something I can provide loads off. Also I have the world most wonderful husbandand he is there for the both off us daily so don't feel guilty, I don't think it would be normal if we didn't think Why me?
you are in a plus situation in that you have a wonderful
husband not so easy when you don thave that luxery
i am sorry for your lot i really am . and i am glad you stand strong in your faith . which must help .
iv had nothing but one sort of pain or another all my life and i am tired of it . if i could just go to sleep and not wake up it would suit me fine .
thats not saying i want to die i dont.
thats the crazy thing about the statment i am just sick of being judged and not understood just because iv got a condition no one can see.
and that includes my husband and kids . the worst thing in the world is being alone or feeling alone .i am so glad you dont have that feeling .long may it continue
I'm so sorry that your in such pain mentally and physically, and it's is awful to feel so terribly alone but making the comment about my husband being a plus doesn't mean that I don't suffer pain and loneliness when we are the only people out there with the disabled child.when wherever we go out we get the stares because he's doing something that isn't quite the norm. So what I'm saying is Your not the only one who has a tough time in life. We just have it in a whole different scenario.
The people on this site wouldn't be on it if everyone on here didnt have to deal with their own problems.
I know I'm very fortunate in having great husband, but our little son doesn't even know what time off the day it is and it's heartbreaking He doesn't understand anything. I think you need to walk in my shoes before you can make the comment about my life and my hubbies
Everyone on this site is getting it tough so you are not alone in that aspect x
I'm so sorry that your in such pain mentally and physically, and it's is awful to feel so terribly alone I wish I cld do something for you.
The comment about my husband being a plus is very true, but doesn't mean our life is any easy one . We just have it in a different painful scenario than you
I don't think that anyone can understand till they walk in our shoes the pain we feel or the challenges we go through when your only adored child is disabled and your coping with this FIBRO/ME as well
Wherever we go out we get the stares because he's doing something that isn't quite the norm You try so hard to make your child have an understanding of the normal things like Christmas birthdays but it's just another day
Hope you can see Tiswas24537 that our life's not a bed off roses either
Everyone on this site is getting it tough so hopefully you don't feel so alone in that aspect and as for our relationship it will continue because we have been totally devoted to each other for many years
i wouldnt presume that you had it easy hun i didnt mean that at all
just meant you do have someone who cares deeply for you and your son
which when the world is tough on you nice to have ,
i have fibro and Aspergers syndrome and my son whos 24 ,and my middle brother ,also have Aspergers ,so not am i only dealing with me ,i am trying to prop up others as well just wish i had some support ,thats all i meant
,
the world isent very nice to people who are differant ,sometimes it would be nice to have some one in your corner so the rest of the world could just go away .
i do know what its like to be staryed at my son when he was little due to the problems of Aspergers was hard work ,and i had it to do on my own . i have a friend who had a fully autisc son and when i spent
a afternoon with her i was so glad that my son was only suffering with a moderate form of autisum not the full blown .but like you say its never easy i am just glad that your little boy has people who love him
dearly . you must have so many worries about him .
i am sure he brings much sunshine into your life .
I'm a Christian too Mary...you have had such a rough time..really feeling for you...I must say and have said it before on this blog, that if we my hubby and I didn't get our strength from God, .well I don't know how we would ever cope, for sure.... It's very hard to make people understand that God didn't do any of this to us..but He will use our suffering to not only teach us to endure but to be a megaphone for Him...I could'nt tell you just how many non Christians friends and family have said to me..WHAT ABOUT YOUR GOD NOW..when they have seen us suffer from one thing or another...They just don't understand that God doesn't do it..well some do, in the end..and that's using our suffering as a megaphone for Him..have a lovely day Mary..stay positive..bless you and your family abundantly with His love and a Grace..:-)
The one thing God has showed me is : I have learned to be very positive..it can be sooo infectious..in anyone's sphere of influence..after all this is only our temporal home..
Unfortunately arwen, many many do...be blessed and have a lovely day..:-) xx
The Bible tells us that Jesus is a stumbling block...some, not all people really get offended/offensive whenever they are confronted with Christians...sad really...but it's just not our problem either..we just expect it and don't worry cause it's not us they are offended by it's who we stand for...love your tolerance..should be more if it in this world..xx
Absolutely right there tiswas..it's religion, that has always caused sooo much worry...I am not religious at all, but I am a committed a Christian... sooo dislike religion and religios people too...there is such a huge difference..be blessed.... ...:-) xxx
