I'm feeling quite a bit better today, thanks to all who prayed for me!

I guess I have to take it just a day at a time, and when the pain gets bad, really focus on eternity!

Speaking my mind: If it had not been for the Lord i would have fainted, oh to see the glory of God in your life.
I want to dance like David danced because of the goodness of the Lord. Rejoice for he is mighty !!!!
I am in awe of him. There is no God like Jehovah!!!!!

Me too, I hear you and I dont have RA, I cant imagine Sis. My own is pain enough for me, at least giving me times of relief between these episodes.

So I thank everyone who prayed for me as well (thanks)

I do find it hard to think about anything but the pain (try as you may)when its chronic, I really have to work on that I guess. I can do it far better with other things but I have never found it works with stuff like a bad tooth/nerve pain and /or back (nerve) pain.

Well, at least with a tooth you can pull it (poof! instant relief) not with nerves in your back, so I am thankful to God I can still walk today, because I have times when I can neither sit, walk or stand (all three at the same time) and that is what it felt like yesterday, as I can feel it coming on stronger over a time. All yesterday, I was like (great) here it comes AGAIN.

I so dread it, its hard to bear, and its isolating, like being put in a "time out" for a couple of months.

Assigned days of futility (that sort of thing).

I dont know how some of you who are bedridden for the most part even type in bed, thats a mystery to me, I can only lay in one position, my back (no sides) and cannot sit upright in bed, so I lay flat. And I have great difficulty typing (at all) while stuck on my back. Im somewhat in a rush to find a laptop now otherwise I might be staring a popcorn ceiling in a room (with no TV in it). And I'll just die of boredom before anything else. Because I really dont enjoy TV though (but when there is literally nothing else you can do it works as a mind occupier (thats it).

But at least I can still walk today and I am always grateful for everyones prayers, especially when going over the deep edge in pain (off in the backround of real life).

Hang in there sis, lets keep one another in each others prayers, and if you ever need an ear or anything, and want to talk (without typing back and forth) as I find it far easier to speak on the phone then type myself let me know.

God bless you in Christ Jesus the Lord

Having an appetite for crispy fried chicken and knowing it's popularity historically and culturally.......i wonder how far back this goes with man. Is it possible men were eating chicken even before the flood.......

I like to stay with the four basic food groups - beans, bacon, lard, and coffee.

I love chicken! We have a buffet restaurant that recently opened where I live called the "Pizza Ranch" and their fried chicken is excellent! The pizza is just okay. They should call it the "Chicken Ranch."

The reason I refer to it as a "sensible" horizon is because this word best describes man's approach to what he regards as a valid way of deciding what constitutes truth/reality. This view of what is regarded as real or truth is rooted in man's experiences in testing what he knows of the natural world through the process of observable regularities. I guess in layman's terms this would be regarded as a "common sense" approach to reality versus a revealed perception of reality.
ah, now i see the trouble.

mom always said i have no common sense.


i'm going back to reread everything. :)

neuropathy is no joke. :(

unlike muscle pain, there's nothing you can push on, massage, or place ice or heat on.
not that's helpful, anyway.

continuing in prayer for you, too. ♥

I was just wondering, how does one type speaking in tongues?:confused:

1 Corinthians 14:23
So if the whole church comes together and everyone speaks in tongues, and inquirers or unbelievers come in, will they not say that you are out of your mind?

Thanks sis, at least you reccognize this. Now my husband doesnt get that (even still), he is always saying to me should I get the heating pad? I always say to him that will not help me (he finds me neglectful of trying to ease my own pain, because he is nuts about wraps, and creams and heat and cold packs. He can only think its "that kind" of pain (because thats all he knows). He doesnt get it

So I am glad you are the one mentioning thatand caught it is about the nerves (not the other) although I have bone and nerve, but at least I can show him your post (saying, notice how she gets it?) Because he will feel helpless (just wants to help, but I keep pushing his methods away from me, and I have been trying to get it through his head that heat and cold will not work. Not creams and no massage (thank you very much though). And no pain med does (not for me) I even have a bunch of vicodin and thats useless to me, I dont like to take any drugs, not even perscription if I can avoid it. But I will fill what is prescribed me and hold on to it. (just in case).

From what I understand nothing less then anti seisure meds would help control or surgery and I dont want either of those.

Thank you so much for your prayers (everyone else as well) God richly bless you (hugs)

i've lived every day in pain the last 20 years...not a gambit for sympathy, just saying how i know.

and husbands...they just r-e-a-l-l-y want to help.
i think it's much easier to be in pain than to watch someone you love in pain.
so i'll pray for you both. ♥
