Is it for me...It's funny how when we become ill, we seek out the Lord above and spend endless night's crying out loud for our prayers to be heard and answered.

Many times we find this medicine to relax us and keep us at peace while we walk on in hope of a better tomorrow.

Do you think this helps you more tham abx/herbs. or aids in your healing process?

I need to be better at it though, much better, and when I recover, I need to remember that faith is a part of life long success, just like waking up!

Thanks,

Definitely!

Please use General Support for things non-medical.

I think that this is appropriate for medical.

If I am understanding right he is asking if anyone has gotten relief from there faith...

I interpretted this literally meaning having an improvement in symptoms..

which I think is medical.

...so I think it belongs here.

Just my 2 cents

Rob,

I know this isn't exactly what you was looking for but...

I had a cat named Rosie and when I was really sick in sooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

much pain I couldnt anything she would sit next to me and just purr.

My whole body would relax a little the pain would physically (hence medical section?)

decrease not alot but enough to let me take a deep breath and get some sleep.

I believe that positive energy can alter our physical being.

Best wishes [Smile]

Hi,

Everybody,

I am well aware that people here are taking time to point out to me that (maybe) some of my posts should be posted elsewhere.....

Last time I checked, all, or shall I say, most of the people here are SUFFERING, not just not feeling good, but Suffering GREATLY.....

From an illness that has cheated us out of so many of life's blessings, that we watch others do and enjoy in life what we use to take for granted...

Faith is medicine, so are pets, so is our families, churches, whatever we can find and hold onto to carry us through to a better tomorrow....

I think some, may be missing the points I have written here....I too am far from perfect....

It is my goal to get us to think, not only about ourselves, but others, and what can we learn from those experiences????

Maybe too much time is spent policing Lymenet and not enough time spent remembering that we are gravely ill, by a ghost who does return daily into our lives...

If something, anything, makes you feel better, gives you strength to carry on, boosts your spirit, helps you to forget your pain and suffering..........

Then that sounds like medicine to me, and can be in the form of a question or a statement...

I do not own Lymenet, nor do I wish to, it is my hope that all of us find some form of medicine that is beneficial to our recovery, and maybe by passing it along to our brothers and sisters.......

Within this Lyme war, we can bind as a family a network if you will, one of support and courage.....

If all we do is look for ways to complain to each other, and point out everyone's mistakes, (which I am guilty of making here on Lymenet), then we have a bigger, far more deadly disease within us all.

I have a passion for expression, a hope if you will, for reaching your soul and embracing your being with any kind of medicine that may offer you some salvation from a life torn with misery and dispair...

Thanks...I will try to be better and follow the rules from now on....
