Nightmares last night... ugghhhh.

I so need to get a job and be physically exhausted on a daily basis...this forced retirement garbage is for the birds...

Between pandemic and arthritis I'm stuck...the doc didn't exactly have great news the other day either.

One more Winter to get through...then maybe I can finally get a life. I used to have one... it wasn't much but it was mine and genuine. And I miss it.

Get a new Dr.
Dr. Jesus always takes on new patents and never goofs up.
Melatonin helps with sleep, we produce less with each year.
Pray for sound sleep, ask for dreams, He always gives them when I ask, what He does for one He will do for another.
Do you have an exercise machine? A home gym can be a help.
Bless you JDB

You, my doc, and my wife...
I have never been good about exercise except when I was younger (teenager in HS) and looking at gaining girlfriends. (Yes plural because I was a skirt chaser)

Since that time I've been keeping fit by physical labor... always. Staying productive by doing something that produced results of some sort...be it landscaping my home to my normal job that required physical labor... always in motion. Now my joints are shot. And I'm not mentally or physically exhausted on a daily basis anymore.

I've tried exercises and fail at consistency and even being apathetic towards it...I always hate it and them.

Just saying...it's different when I work...I will go way past peers and endurance levels to accomplish something... always. Getting lots more exercise than any daily exercise routine would provide. (Exhaustion is normal)

Just saying...I need to go back to work to do something. Paycheck is optional.

Have you tried taking Turmeric on a regular basis? It really helps with inflammation, keeps the joints moving without pain, my friends still working notice a great improvement in just a few days.

Yep...ate several bottles of tumeric with pepperine...nada. it's age and injury together related arthritis...not much hope. Not going to heal either. It's pain management and reduced usage of existing joints at this point.

One leg is now shorter than the other because of the bones grinding together without cartilage. They make fake knees but not fake ankle joints...they just amputate feet after a while if it gets too bad.

So...I just need to find a new career and something productive to do.

God still heals, it is His very nature that you and we all be well.
Check out the DHT from John G. Lake ministries.
Just changing the way I pray has brought great results.
We have nothing to lose but our infirmities, he gives his testimony at 30 minutes in the second one.

"maybe a little pain is needful to bring u closer 2 god."
I really doubt it is His plan, He didn't create us to hurt us. The devil brings sickness, disease, hurt, pain, lack, Jesus desires we have life, and life in abundance.

Being a recovering fine dining chef I enjoy a much broader range of foods than most households and since my foods are usually scratch more wholesome than what is commonly available...my wife complains regularly about how I've ruined going out to eat...
Fasting is completely doable and been done. I actually have the opposite issues... actually eating something that I find worthwhile to eat and enjoy eating it. (Extremely picky about the preparation... could care less what it is...it just has to be done with exacting standards)

I'm just praying for a job... something to do to fill the days until I can meet with friends again.
