Oh wow - what a great thread!! Does anybody know how I can know when there is an update!?
I can relate to you SO much Joe! Checking the weight and blood pressure ALL the time ... like that is going to make a difference or something ... always looking for reassurance. Well, I am "weaning" myself from that and feeling a little more freedom.
The advice that was given was WONDERFUL! It is great to hear the story of your mom as I have 3 young children at home and feel so caught up in the worry cycle about my health and never getting better that some days I can't even care for them because I am scared in bed. I hate it! It is encouraging to know she got through it! I also appreciated the scripture ... it is so hard when I am in "the pit" to just let go of my control and trust God FOR all things and IN all things ... I know that is where the answer lies, but I am just so scared and He just seems so far away (although I know He is true to His promises and right there with me).
How is everybody doing now!? Any progress!? I am seeing some progress ... able to be out of bed more and working at floating through all the scary physical symptoms ... trying to remain hopeful ... it is just such hard work, but I want to get better SO badly!!!
