I have the inflamed brain/pain stuff/pressure going on in the head.
So far, excedrin is keeping it down enough I can type this.
Getting up to take some more excedrin.
This thing can go either way. Prayers that it lets up and I don't have one of those days when all I can do is just breath in and breath out and wait it out.
This is the symptom I get with lyme that scares me the most as it changes something in my brain and I don't want to battle this anymore.
On the other hand..I really don't think I have what it takes to take my own life.
Hoping what ever is going on in the brain backs off and I don't have that battle too to deal with.

Sorry you are feeling this way kam.
I am praying for you...that you will have improvement from the inflammation, pain and pressure.
I am praying that you will feel strong and able to keep fighting.
I am praying that God will guide you to wellness.
Blessings to you.

I am praying for you, Kam. Don't give up, you will get through this! You are not alone!
Open your Bible and find a verse that speaks to you and pray it over throughout the day. His Word will give you the courage and strength to get thru this.
"Be strong and take heart, all you who hope in the Lord." Psalms 31:24
"I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do everything through him who gives me strength." Philippians 4:12,13
Added note: Have you ever tried Andrographis Complex? It's really helped clear up all that brain stuff for me. Buhner recommends Andrographis as it can pass through the brain barrier.
-------------------- "My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever." Psalms 73:26

I know this sx is so scarey. You can't help but think the pressure is going to harm your being.
Sending prayers your way.

I agree with 17hens...he will show you passages to help comfort you.
I found 1 I would like to send along aswell...
Isaiah 41:13 For I am the Lord, your God, who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, Do not fear; I will help you.

Hang in there kam. I'll be praying for you too. Hopefully you'll get a good night's rest and feel much better in the morning.

I'm happy to hear that you feel a little bit better. Not fair to be feeling so low on your birthday!
Prayers from here!

Today was better. Whewph. It is so strange when I go through those symptoms...I loose track of time and think I have been that bad off since this first hit and it is never going to get better.
Which I know is not true. Can't recall what it was like once it is gone too.

Thanks Geneal. Sorry took me so long to answer. Just saw this.
Taking excedrin each day to help at this point.

Praying for you, kam.
I encourage you to go to God Thought and read the thread, but if that's not possible right now, then jump to my last post and watch the YouTube song, "I'll walk with God"
