I will praise Him
I went to the Pain Clinic again today. I was disappointed with the results of the "epidural" last weekend. I was expecting more than 72 hours of relief. But my doctor explained to me how things work. First of all, he said, there is no easy all or nothing solution in most cases. Though I should have been expecting a miracle with all the prayer going on for me, but I guess my faith was weak, or I still have my infirmity for the glory of God so that His works can be manifest in me.
Second, my doctor explained to me that these injections (lumbar sympathetic block) usually work better in a series. Therefore, I am going to have two or three more in the next few weeks. November 3rd is the next one scheduled. Plus, my medication has been maxed out. I'm going to be taking 2400mg of Trileptal® (oxcarbazepine) a day. Yea for prescription drugs! No, seriously, this medicine seems to be working the best without many side effects.
When it comes down to it, Pain Clinic or no, pain or no, God is in control. And I will praise Him while I have breath.
Posted by micah on October 24, 2003 01:11 PMthanks for your testimony. i have small health problems and you just put things into perspective for me. i have no right to complain, because God is good. and what is this mortal shell anyway but dust and to dust it will return. i will have a glorified body in which i can praise my savior all the time! amen! but while we are here, may God keep us faithful.

I know how hard it is to praise God when you think there is no hope. just hang in there and keep up the faith. One of His Greatest commandments is "let everything that has breath Praise the Lord." His will, will overcome!! Praise God.
Love
Rebekah
