Since the beginning of this month (November) I have been struggling physically. I have been suffering terribly with a burning sensation all through out my body. Along with dizziness.
First the doctor said it could be Shingles with the burning and an inner ear problem with the dizziness. But praise God, it has not turned into Shingles. And I continue to confess my healing.
I am contributing this burning sensation to possibly the change of life. And added stress at work due to a family emergency among a co-worker. It has been so very uncomfortable. And down right intolerable at times. Like I am burning from inside my body. And I feel literally I am on fire. A wet fire. Not that I even know what a wet fire feels like. But, that is about the closest I can explain the sensation. Then I become so very fatigued around noon each day. I can barely keep my eyes opened. Takes a lot out of me.
My blood test did not reveal any abnormalities. I have noticed if I get excited, it enhances the burning pain. Makes it difficult for me to praise and worship in the Spirit. As usually I am on "fire," in my body, in the presence of the Lord. So, to have this added burning sensation, makes it unpleasant.
It is so easy to say, "What now God?" "Why cannot I have a break?" "It seems one right after another trial comes upon me?" "What will be next?" "How much more can I take?"
And yes, I confess I have said all of the above. Not just saying it, but at times angerly saying the words to God. But, then when I truly am in His presence during this time, and seeking Him, the only answer I receive from Him is, "I am with you through it all."
When the hurt runs deep God remains God!
When do we get to know God? When all the props are removed.
If it is the start of memopause you may want to try some natural products like black cohosh.

OH JBR GLAD YOU HAVE THE ASSURANCE IN BELIEVING THAT GOD IS RIGHT ALONG SIDE OF YOU DURING THIS TIME. HOPE YOU FEEL BETTER. AND IF GOD IS SHOWING YOU SOMETHING AT THIS TIME, TO HAVE A OPEN HEART.
ReplyDeleteI was just thinking about you and hoping that all was well when I saw that you had posted. I've been angry with God and have said similar things as you have said. God understands and can take our anger, at least with anger we are putting forth effort to reach out to Him rather than responding with apathy. Apathy could care less. I'll pray for you that these symptoms ease up. I'm glad to hear that it's not Shingles. Hugs!!
ReplyDeleteContinuing to pray for you. Glad to hear this is not shingles!

Hi,
ReplyDeleteI don't know if your blood work would have shown this or not, but could it be adrenal fatigue? When we have spent much of our lives in a flight of fight situations, it can where us out. I think I have experienced something somewhat similar, I have always been prone to panic attacks... but I don't have insurance so I haven't been able to get to the root of it. I find that I have to take it easy when I get to feeling this way. I can't let myself get to angry or excited or even elated or I will become exhausted.
I think it is probably adrenal fatigue for me, as well. I'm not old enough to be menopausing yet. So maybe not necessarily your case, but something to look at.
JBR I'm sorry you're suffering so bad. May the peace of God flow through your whole body. In and out. May you be free from the pain. May you be able to fully regain your strength and fight the good fight. God Bless.
ReplyDeletePraise God that He is with us through it all. Continuing to pray for you, JBR, for your physical as well as emotional healing. He will be with you through it all. praise God for His goodness.
ReplyDeleteHi JBR, Wow! I'm so sorry that you're experiencing this pain. I am keeping you in prayer for extra strength while you deal with this. I'm glad it's not Shingles, too! A friend at work suffered from that for a very long time....Shingles can be brutal!
ReplyDeleteOur physical bodies deal with stress in all kinds of weird ways. You've been under an enormous amount of stress over the last several months (years!)! It could be your body's way of saying, "Whoa!" No matter what, the God who created you and called you into being will NEVER leave you and is right there with you in the midst of your pain! Do not despair, JBR. Hugs to you!
HI LOVE - your pain sounds horrid. I understand how difficult it is to manage pain because I have to do just that every day due to my having MS. It must be so hard not knowing what is causing your pain. Although, pain is pain, regardless. Have you been tested for Lupus and or fibromyalgia? Stay calm.
ReplyDeleteLove Gail
peace.....
