Faith me to my face...


Prednisone and Pleas for Prayers

(Finding MY face)


---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I need prayers.

I am positive they work.

Please pray for me.

I am going to stop taking my prednisone (steroids). I have been jacked up on steroids for about 6 months.

Results are a 'redistribution of fat' in my face, abdomen and behind my neck.

(http://dermnetnz.org/treatments/systemic-steroids.html)

Something I have a very difficult time reconcilling myself to.

VERY.

I want to find my face.

Thats all.

MY FACE.

The last 4 or 5 times I stopped taking the steriods I ended up not being able to walk, my heels are so painful, or my right arm completely unable to even work, couldn't sign my name,the right side of my neck completely locks up, etc.., I usually cannot sleep from the pain in my joints, especially my hips, etc....

The list goes on, but I'll spare you.

I recognize that I am not able to overcome alone. I need more than my myraid of pleadings to the Lord for support and sustaining.

I need a mini miracle to see me through this.

If this blog has ever made you laugh, or smile, or think more positively, or even just entertained you.....If I have ever made a difference in your life even a little, or if you have empathy because you have struggled similarly....well....then...

Will you FAITH me to my face?I miss it.

AND

I want it back.

I am going to try again...



(What if everyone who stopped by this blog said a prayer for this one thing? I opened this page in January. I have had over seven thousand visits. Just what if?, that is all I am wondering today.)

I promise less 'me' writing soon too.

  1. Definitely I will do this for you. I know prayers help and make a huge difference in our lives. I also know how frustrating chronic pain can be, so I pray that you can find other ways to alleviate your pain. God bless you!
