Praying

Hey Sheri, Glad to see you over here. You are in my prayers.

hey,joined because of firestream being down.james and the gang have tried to renew my membership for about a year.so,at this point.i am loving memberships for both forums.i am making new friends here as well.anyway,saturday am i woke and actually put my hands under my thighs to make my legs move just to be able to walk those few steps to the bathroom.very painful most of the day! this am rolled out of bed to have a charlie horse( i hate charlie!lol!) in my calf that was so painful i broke out in a sweat! ask my male companion,he will tell u that i am one the most upbeat people he knows.but,everyone, i am scared as my symptoms worsen and go thru bouts of depression.i am unsure about my job as i cant go back to it this way.so pls..i covet ur prayers.i thank you for from the bottom of my heart! god bless

just wanted to update everyone,went back to the docs today..he said i have a herniated disc that is pressing on my lower spine cuzing my RSD to flare up more and bring on the symptoms much faster.he wants me to have a series of three spinal blocks in sept.that he said would lessen some of the pain but,unfornatunately now the symptoms are commin at such a rapid rate he can only hope to slow this down.its not a cure,my disease has no cure.infact he said right now,this is only trigger pointed to my right side but eventually it will spread to the rest of my body..he recommends not returning to my job as i cant do it anymore and that if work is willing to give me long term disability that maybe i can be looking for something else. so i am outta work now at present til mid october.i am really depressed and in constant pain,i know that god is in control but,it doesnt make this any easier to face.gettin up everyday knowing this is now my life,my future and to be in constant pain is really getting me down.i do praise god for myspace to keep me busy with band stuff and i have been helping my male friend get a cd/dcd together for mass production and gettin the word out and planning some gigs.so,in a way by typing steves bio and lyrics i am brushin up on my "word" skills on the puter.pls i can use all the prayers i can get.thanks u guys are the best!

prayers needed as i have to have my last and final nerve block this friday..i am still in constant pain so it doesnt seem as though the prior two have helped at all. i am gaining weight from all the steriods and unsure about my work situtation..thanks guys,u truly are the best prayer warriors..god bless you for your faithfulness and prayers for me too!

Praying for you sherri

well gang,i need alot of prayer after three nerve blocks in a month i am still in constant pain..sometimes severe..i must see my doctor on wed oct.14 to decide if/when to schedule surgery for a spinal stimulator unit put in..it will kind work like a pacemaker and when i get the extreme pain the stimulator is supposed to jolt those nerves into releasing the presure on my right side especially.the hip,knee and ankle.my mother is against this and says i should live with the pain.my doctor says with my disease its hit or miss.i am willing to try anything to be able to return to work.the steroids i have been on for about 9months have caused me to really gain some weight.plus the lack of activity..so i must make up my mind by this commin wed. and thats not alot of time to consider all my options. to top things off;i am dealing with some serious personal problems.its involved alot of communication and tuff love regarding someone really close to me.and it just drains every emotion that i have.i hung up the phone last night after a very long conversation feeling like i had been beat up.its been very hard to deal with but,very necessary.thanks guys u are the best.love and friendship to u all. truly i am blessed to have such great prayer warriors in my life!

Definitely praying for you. It is tough to make a possible life changing decisions.


Heavenly Father,

I pray to Thee for my friend, Sherri, and her struggles with the RSD and she needs Your guidance and wisdom to make the right decisions in her life.

Amen.

Miss Sherri, Thank you for updates. My heart goes out to you. I believe that your quality of life will improve immediately after your 'spinal stimulator' is installed. I thought you should have had this PCA(stimulator) 1/2 a year ago. No one wants to see you in pain, especially your Heavenly Father. You are loved!

you've had my back this whole time and now sister I've got yours!!! I'm praying for you.
