Thanksgiving Dinner: Pain reliever and Phenergan

I was hoping that some of my headache troubles were stemming from a diseased gallbladder that I had removed last Friday. Apparantly that was not the case since I have spent the past three days trying to stop the pain....not the pain from surgery...the pain of migraine. I keep thinking about how good I would feel and how much more pleasurable my life would be if I could only get this problem under control. There are no drugs, no cures, no nothing. I've seen all the specialists, had all the tests. The only sensible solution seemed to come from a chiropracter who is not covered by insurance and very expensive. Isn't it funny how insurance covers drugs and doctors that don't seem to solve the problem but they won't cover those that will? There's something fishy there.



Anyhow, I spent Thanksgiving day popping pills to relieve pain and nausea in hopes to not spoil the day for everyone else. I went through the day trying to fake that I felt okay when really I wanted to be home in bed. I spend most of my life this way. When a person suffers from chronic migraine, it controls every aspect of their life. All plans are made around the hope that they won't get a headache and spoil the day for everyone involved. I would have so much richer and fuller of a life if I could just make my head stop hurting.



God answers all my prayer requests and blesses me every day but for some reason, he isn't touching this one. I have been praying for deliverance for years. Sometimes I wonder, "Am I praying right? Am I asking for the right thing? Am I doing something wrong? Or is this just a thorn in my flesh...and why?" I can't see the purpose God would have for leaving me or anybody with a plague like this. But, then again, there are many people who are left in horrible sickness for no explainable reason right? I don't see how this glorifies God...but I guess since His thoughts and ways aren't like ours, only He can know the answer to that one. Owwwwwwwww! Man! It hurts to sneeze when you have stitches in your stomach! Okay, so this isn't one of my more upbeat blogs...but we're all entitled to a down blog every now and then right? After all....this is where I come to write my thoughts.



I do hope that all our readers were blessed with a wonderful Thanksgiving. I'd love to hear about it too. Leave a comment and tell us about it.



God Bless
