Thoughts of Health

It's scary when the right side of your body goes numb and heavy. When you pant from exhaustion when simply walking from one room to another. When your heart races while even resting.

Slows you down to a tortoise pace.

Helps to sort the trivial from the important.

Fills your mind with the wonderment of 'what's wrong?'

I've always been a healthy person. At 34 years of age I never would have expected to wake up and feel like one hundred. And the question for the last two weeks has been 'what's wrong?'

For sure we know that my Vitamin D was way too low. Prescription strength Vitaman D in large weekly doses will try to bring the level back up. But is that alone what is wrong?

Multiple Sclerosis is a strong suspicion. My mother has this disease and so does a dear cousin of mine. Testing is expensive and often very hard to accurately diagnose at the early stage.

For now we are going to treat these issues as MS related.

What makes a person's immune system turn on its own nervous system? Doctors don't know. There is no cure for MS. However, vitamins and a complete diet over-haul are in the works. It's a great place to start.

And then we wait. We watch over the next few years to see if these problems keep surfacing. And in the mean time I ask you all to pray.

II Timothy 1:7 "For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and love and of a sound mind."

Pray this over me my friends. God has this under His control. Help me to turn this pain into something beautiful that glorifies Him. That is what we live for. It's the most important amongst the trivial.
