I have been battling with my health for over a month now. My body wants to shut down. I have bruises on both of my arms to show all the blood that different doctors have taken. They don't know what is wrong with me. After going to the hospital because of a seizure, the doctors realized they should do something about it. I was put on Topimax and had serious side effects. You know when you see the commercials for medicine and it says, "Side effects include mood changes and thoughts of suicide" and you think, "Geez, that's intense. Does that really happen?" Yes. It happens. I'm proof. So, my doctor took me off of that and put me on a new medicine, Lyrica. We'll see how I react to it. I'm nervous and I'm tired. My body doesn't want to fight off the pain anymore. God has shown His faithfulness in the last couple days. I have had two pain free days. Jeremy Camp sings a song, "I still believe in your faithfulness. I still believe in your truth. Even when I don't see, I still believe."
The picture is me playing in the Spring tournament. You can probably tell I don't feel well. I was on narcotics. This is our new family bunny, flower. She is precious and I love animals.

daria-
i know that you don't really know me- but i was diagnosed with Rhuematoid Arthritis about 5 years ago. I was scared to death b/c my body was acting so weird. I couldn't hold my eyes open, i had alot of pain...and i was very active- worked out everyday...etc. know that the lord is in your suffering. know that he is not absent from you- he has ordained this season in your life for his glory. my family will be praying for you. lyrica is a good medicine.
