And my heart breaks for what you go through. <BR/><BR/>Second, I want you to know that I will pray for you my friend, as soon as I am done with this comment.<BR/><BR/>And Third, I read Lynnette's comment to you and I would encourage you to let her give you all of the info she has,...because she is telling the truth about my grandson Jared and how he is so much better because of the natural approach he took to his health issues. And Lynnette too. (It couldn't hurt anything, and I am almost certain it could help)<BR/><BR/>Lynnette has helped me, (and others) many times with natural/healthy remedies for health issues. And it is God that has led her down that path.<BR/><BR/>I hope we don't sound like "know- it- alls",...or like we are making light of what you go through. Not meant to sound like that at all. Just hoping to be of some help to a dear Christian sister, if possible.<BR/><BR/>If nothing else I want to encourage you in the Lord and remind you that if nobody else really knows or understands,...He surely does. And He loves you very much.<BR/><BR/>You are the apple of His eye!<BR/>You are Held In His Arms Lucy!<BR/><BR/>LindaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1391072111621034521.post-74005456778982626222009-03-19T15:40:00.000+00:002009-03-19T15:40:00.000+00:00There's not much I can add to what others have alr...There's not much I can add to what others have already said, but I would say that I'm always eager to read your writing, and perhaps what you might be meant to do at some point is to write about your experience with CFS and the spiritual/emotional/physical challenges that it creates, to help minister to others who may be going through the same thing. I know this may come across as trite, but sometimes it's when we're weakest that God can use us the most.<BR/><BR/>Many ((hugs)) to you.

I can imagine someone saying, "Tired? But of course darling, everyone is tired! You just have to push through!" I may have told you that my mom has been recently diagnosed with CFS. I have trouble understanding it, but it wipes her out. I pray you are healed.

I can only imagine what it must be like for you. I'm sleep-deprived taking care of my youngest son & I feel like my brain doesn't even function and I have no energy. I couldn't imagine feeling like that for years.<BR/><BR/>You will be in my prayers.Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06802391705868460063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1391072111621034521.post-21124573339344145952009-03-19T02:16:00.000+00:002009-03-19T02:16:00.000+00:00Lucy, I had no idea you struggled in this way. I ...Lucy, I had no idea you struggled in this way. I don't have CFS, but I had a time in my life when I know I was struggling with it - or something very similiar. I cried every morning when I woke up because I felt like a truck ran over me - my body didn't want to move. I had body aches, headaches, dizziness, but most of all - debilitating fatigue. I was depressed daily because of it too. It lasted about 10 months and when I got pregnant it went away.<BR/><BR/>I now think that it was associated with adrenal fatigue. My oldest son also suffered with it in his teenage years (16-17). He's healed now and doing fine.<BR/><BR/>I say all of that to say - my heart goes out to you. Keep searching for the root of the problem though - In my personal research I've found that CFS is almost always a symptom of another problem (like B deficiency and/or adrenal fatigue...parasites, congested liver - or all of the above! Jared followed a very stict cleansing (drying) diet for 90 days and did colon, liver and parasite cleanses. He's also been on adrenal support and B-complex vitamins and he really is healed. (Has been for about a year now) Have you looked into any of that?<BR/><BR/>Well, I don't mean to be a know it all. I know that the answers aren't always the same, but I do want you to know that I have some information to share if you are interested. Okay? If you've already tried all of that - just ignore me. :) <BR/><BR/>I'll pray for you as soon as I finish typing this - I promise.<BR/>Love,<BR/>Lynnette<BR/>PS When Abigail peeked over and saw me reading your blog she said, "I love her".

God is never any man's debtor and you are surely safe and held in his arms. Your eyes WILL see him. <BR/><BR/>Our chronology so frustrates me sometimes. We live in this time dimension that we know God is above. To know that healing and wholeness is in him and with him and through him and all around him - and yet we're still here where all this bad stuff goes on.....I am comforted that he is the restorer and healer and we can ask and believe and ask and not doubt and ask and still know his goodness, with full and certain hope of healing even if it comes at a time we can't see at the moment. Because he loves us.<BR/><BR/>much love to you<BR/>xxlynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13386263352332136809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1391072111621034521.post-85807703835828224632009-03-18T22:43:00.000+00:002009-03-18T22:43:00.000+00:00Oh Lucy it's like you took the words right out of ...Oh Lucy it's like you took the words right out of my mouth? keyboard?<BR/><BR/>I so empathise with this. Having had CFS and my family just not understanding, my church not understanding how one day I can be full of beans, and the next day unable to move. And it's not just been CFS, it's been how closely that connected to 'the possibly PMS, maybe endometriosis, we're not sure' that just causes me so much pain and misery and this feeling of not being in control of your own body. Friends not understanding. And me not knowing how to talk about it.<BR/><BR/>Praying for you so much sister, and thank you for sharing and being so honest in this.<BR/><BR/>It DOES make a difference.LAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09320817252612530093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1391072111621034521.post-45615712945037227322009-03-18T21:07:00.000+00:002009-03-18T21:07:00.000+00:00We all have different struggles in life and I feel...We all have different struggles in life and I feel that it helps to share those struggles.
