"Yet a time is coming
and has now come when the true worshipers will worship
the Father in spirit and truth, for they are the
kind of worshipers the Father seeks." - John 4:23

My Heavenly Daddy is healing
me from the inside out.

Transparency is Real.
Many times painful.

Daddy let me be secure in You only!

URGENT MEDICAL ONCE AGAIN

I really could not take it anymore and fear got the best of me.

Ended up at Urgent Medical yet again. The doctor's are getting to know me really well there now. I am going to be bankrupt soon too. They even have a on-going joke with me and the others. "Should they take my b/p right away or wait a bit when it become normal." Because every time I go there and they take my b/p first thing, it is off the charts. Until I relax a bit. Anyway......

After describing my burning sensation in my face, ears and my eyes, my doctor has ruled out Shingles. She believes it is Neuropathy. Gave me Gabapentin (300 mg) That is a lot mg. I was also warned if I become deathly ill to stop right away. Oh great! I have never taken so many drugs in my life since these past few months. Gabapentin is also used in adults to treat nerve pain caused by herpes virus or shingles (herpes zoster), and to treat restless legs syndrome (RLS).

There are a whole slew of side effects. The main ones being Blurred Vision, extreme tiredness, uncontrollable shaking and Dizziness. Like I need to be more dizzy.

She does want me to see a Neurologist. This is something I really need to pray about.

"Lord I pray that this drug will agree with me. That I do NOT have any ill side effects. Thank you."

  4. I'm sorry to hear this, JBR. My dad has neuropathy and it drives him crazy sometimes. I forgot the name of the medication that he is on for it though. I am praying with you about this for both no side effects and for healing for your body.

    I'm sending you a hug too, my friend. Please don't get discouraged.

  5. JBR, I am so sad that you are having so much pain right now. I know all too well about neuropathy as I struggle with it in my feet. I tried neurotin with no side effects. Sadly it did not help my pain. Now I am on Cymbalta with good results. Where is you pain? I think massage helps a lot with this.

    I'm lifting you up in prayer for relief of this horrible pain.

    Peace and love to you.
    Pam
