Prayer Please

[MajestyJo]

Requesting healing prayers for my blood pressure. My doctor ordered new fluid pills and doubled my blood pressure medication from 5 mg. to 10, and it hasn't kicked in yet. It has been up and down between 170 to 190 since the change in medication.

The Holistic Center gave me pressure point to work on and physio has given me exercises to help with the swelling and blockages as a result of the neuropathy in my feet. I have the name of two things to pick up at the health food store, but depends on the cost.

It is very much a day at a time. I believe your prayers have been helping. I was diagnosed with C.O.P.D. and went to a specialist and he said my longs are clear and my breathing is normal. I went to the Neurologist and he said my iron was low, said he would put a referral in to my doctor to put me on iron. My doctor drew 8 vials of blood and he said they were normal and there was nothing wrong with my iron level. Sound like an answer to pray to me. Between prayers at the holistic Center, online prayer circles, and a private prayer circle, it looks like God still wants me around for a little while longer.

I don't like it when they add another pill or increase the amount of another and think they are going to t all better. The doctor hasn't been willing to talk about coming of the Lyrica, but seeing as this problem as surface since he increased the dosage, I am going to decrease it.

An old post:

...the grace to find the space between my impulse and my action

That space for me is the gift of recovery and what recovery is all about. That moment in time which allows us to say "yeah" or "nay" and gives us the freedom of choice as to which direction we choose in today. Just for today, I choose not to use.

Hugs not drugs for me!
