Pray. Always Pray.

There are times dealing with a chronic disease leaves me feeling less than victorious.

I spent a small portion of my yesterday calling specialists.

I was able to schedule an appointment with a new Dr in March, I was told that another Dr has 500 other patients in front of me (no thank you for the wait), that another Dr’s next available appointment is in June (no thank you) and I’m waiting to hear from another tomorrow.

I’m not looking for any ole neurologist.  I’m looking for the best.  I’m looking for those accredited in head pain…. UCNS diplomats.  United Council for Neurologic Specialities.  From UCNS.ORG site:  “Achieving subspecialty certification though the UCNS is the recognition that a physician has met the requirements and standards of knowledge set by experts in the subspecialty and with the oversight of a peer-reviewed process.”  

After trying over 25 meds – preventatives and abortives combined, all on every migraine med site I’ve found….  It’s hard to believe that another Dr will have something new to tell me.  My current and previous neurologists are UCNS certified as well. 

I’ve done it all.  I’ve literally tried it all.  Literally over 25 different medications – preventatives (taken to prevent migraine) and abortives (taken at the onset of a migraine to eliminate or lessen the symptoms).  This is not including alternative treatment like acupuncture and vitamins/minerals.

Okay, maybe the only thing I haven’t tried is some crazy brain surgery.  Um… No thank you.

I don’t want your pity.

I want your prayer.

If you’re not a believer.  Pray anyway.  I’m begging you to pray anyway.

If you’re not a believer or not sure how to pray, you can say the following in your mind or out loud for no other reason other than I need you to say it and that I truly believe it will make a difference:

“Dear Heavenly Father, I am not sure about this, but Sue asked me to pray for her to you.  She believes in you and I am doing this for her.  Please ease her suffering and bring her back to us.  Thank you and in Jesus’ name, amen.”
