Everyday is beautiful. At least it should be. Even if the weather is not. The LORD tells us in his word that life is a gift. Yes, it is. Even if my mortal life on this earth is to be filled with pain, GI issues, headaches, and the like it can still be beautiful!
I have 6 beautiful children. I have one amazing hubby who loves me very much. My family is my biggest support group!! My oldest son is only 10 years old and has taken over most of breakfast and lunch cooking. He has been helping a lot with dinner as well. My twins who are 9 years old have started taking over the laundry. Older son and I still load washer and he switches it, but they get it and fold it and hang it all up. Then they have the two little boys help them put it all away. I truly feel blessed!
Physically, I feel lousy, but this is part of my life that I will have to accept and stop commenting on how terrible I feel. I started my Lyrica but honestly I don't feel a difference at all. I even took two pills. So I will see what the doctor wants to do. From what I was reading on the support group for Fibro, Lyrica only works for 50% of people. Also many have had terrible side effects. So hubby is watching me closely to make sure I don't develop them and if I do call the doc right away.
I have heard so much about Fibro not being real. I have also heard some say that a chiropractor, eating better, and exercise will cure it. For some people I am sure that works. For many though it doesn't. You can go back and read through my last post about what Fibro actually does. A person with fibro has an issue with the nerve sensory in their body. They feel too much, so it causes pain. Just simple things like my son poking me to get my attention feels like someone stabbed a knife into my arm. So it is important to remember that every person with fibro is different and needs treatment different than another person with it. It affects each person differently.
What I do know is that my GOD said he will be my guide. He told me that he will supply my need. To many people it may seem crazy to not go searching for a cure or a relief, but honestly that is not what the LORD put me on this earth to do. I can't spend all my time researching for things to help with this. I just can't. Not to mention trying this and trying that is expensive. So for now I am putting myself in the hands of my doctors. This is what my husband and I feel we should do. Yes I have praying and sought the LORD. If he leads me to other ways I will look into them. For now we truly believe that my doctor knows what he is doing and wants to help me live a full life without pain if possible. If that means trying a couple meds to see which fits, I will do it. I have 6 children to tend to, a hubby that needs me, a house that needs me, and a church that needs me. If meds are what it takes to get me to be able to function at a place that is almost normal or at least bearable, then that is what I will do for now.
Please keep praying for me. Keep reading as I post. I will post updates and things I learn along the way. I will also post blessing from God's word that he uses to help and guide me through this journey.
Till He comes,
Robin
