A little scared

<< < (2/4) > >>

Duane:
I. too, take a ton of "serious" medications and have at times messed up in taking the doses.  YOU may have made a mistake but in GOD there are NO mistakes.  God is more powerful than the med's and can nullify their results at His will.  Those obscure verses in the Bible say that believer can even be bitten with vipers and not be effected, (though I doubt God advocates snake handing as a test of faith.)
Still God has the power over ALL and certainly will "care for you".

JohnMichael:
I've been trying, as He gives me strength, to not think about it. My mind wants to play "what if" scenarios. The little weird bodily feelings aren't helping either. :) It's been my prayer today, "Help me not worry. Let me have peace that You are in control of all things." I'm more at peace now than I was this morning/last night.

What should have been a 600mg/200mg/300mg dose (three medications in one pill) became doubled (1200mg/400mg/600mg).

The worst scenario is the first one - the virus mutating. This is the virus that causes AIDS, after all. It's scary. I'm trying - God knows I'm trying - to not worry. I would be lying if I said I'm not scared. This virus is very scary to me - even 6 years later. I saw a lot of good that God used with it - humbling me, giving me a tender heart again, and other things. However, to know your death may be pumping through your veins every day is a tremendous burden to bear. They never tell kids about that aspect in health class - the emotional/mental burden that's there every day of your life. This is very hard for me.

It may seem silly to someone else, but it's not to me. This is something very real that I live with 24/7/365.

However, I'm praying for the strength/peace/fortitude to brush it off.

JohnMichael,

I hear how frightening this is for you, both your condition and the fact the double dose that may exacerbate it. The med's, as I understand them, will eventually be rendered useless as the virus mutates. Doctors are already monitoring for this(I presume) When this happens your medicine regiment will be modified. Trust in the Lord, as I hear you already doing. God will sustain you. I am reminded of the statement in scripture " I believe Lord help with my un-belief" I forget the chapter and verse. I use this prayer quite often when I myself face uncertainty. Peace my brother

JM, I couldn't stop thinking of you after I posted earlier, young man. Besides the unemployment issue I'm going thru right now, I had a string of operations from very young, 2 x heart attacks, nose, stomach, eye, gout, nearly every part of my body is scared or stitched.

Unemployment is something that will end but the pains don't go away, I understand what you're going thru, I cry like a little child with pains and side effects from the various prescription drugs I take.

I encourage you, Sir, PRAY WITHOUT CEASING, it helps me, I get angry with God on most days, but I humble myself, kneel before him, pray in my closet (mind or heart) asking him daily to forgive, heal, strength to handle my daily trials and I'm praying right now for you, asking him to relieve you of your pains, it's 2.10 am in South Africa right now and I'll continue praying before I go to bed.

May God grant you peace & restoration right now. AMEN.

Grace:
JohnMichael,

You have been too quiet now for several hours.  How about just raising your hand or something to let us know you're ok, ok?  Do you have someone close to check in on you for at least tonight and tomorrow, a family member or a close friend?

Grace
