The History of My Health

I had a hard time recovering from a long and difficult labor with my second child. With an ill-informed and uneducated doctor, I found myself with the diagnosis of Chronic Fatigue Immune Deficency Syndrome (CFIDS). There is an immunilogical profile for diagnosis but there are no specific answers to what caused it and no immediate solutions to cure it. My first reaction was to go to a lot of doctors looking for a solution. I saw them all! Ear, Nose and Throat Doctors, Allergists, Oncologists, Orthepedics! My blood tests always came back negative to conditions they thought I might have. The doctors gave me no hope. I remember when my second son turned two years old, I was so depressed. I had been sick for two years and I had no hope for getting any better. That's when God came in. He showed me that I was following after man and looking to men (doctors) for answers. He was right and I asked God to forgive me and to lead me. Don't get me wrong, I believe God uses doctors, but with CFIDS they are guessing on how to treat it. My "faith" was in the doctors and whatever they suggested I received as "gospel". I took back the power I had given to doctors. I tried to go to God for things I should do. He led me to good information and I would try to prayfully consider the treatments and supplements I should do. Things began to change. I began refusing treatments against doctors orders. A lot of times I didn't have any specific reasons, I just started to feel uncomfortable. I started listening to that still, small voice!

My health is so much better now-a-days. It's hard to communicate how difficult it was in writing. It really has been a process of my falling down (making mistakes) and God being there to pick me up and then my falling down again to have God pick me up again. Somewhere along these past ten years I began to be thankful for my health problems and God showed me what my children's life and health would be like if I hadn't had these problems. I am still not doing everything right, thank God for God's grace! God is good and I wanted to share here what I learned through the solutions of some of my health problems. To God be the Glory!
