I am praying for you Brian and lifted all here to Jesus today in the Flame of Love Rosary before the Blessed Sacrament today.
Prayers also for your sudden, complete and lasting healing Brian ~ still hoping/looking forward to seeing you in Cape Breton in the fall ~
Getting ready to say my rosary tonight. I will include you in my prayers. I suffer from neurological pain but nothing I’m sure that compares to what you are going through! Take care of yourself!
Sincere thanks for everyone’s prayers. I finally slept very soundly for almost 12 hours last night. This seems to be the emerging pattern. I go 3 to 5 nights at a time with 2 to 4 hours of sleep and get so sleep deprived I then get one good nights sleep. Last night was different though, it was longer and more sound sleep and I attribute that to your prayers.
I am sorry you were going through this. One of my sisters has nerve pain issues. Because of her I've come to learn it behaves differently than other kinds of pain and it's excruciating. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
Prayers continuing. Glad to hear you slept well. At the risk of offering more useless 'advice', I read something on Spirit Daily that looked good. It is a link to a Medj site, but the concept in the piece isn't concerned with alleged apparitions. It's a spiritual practice whereby you 'swap' your worries with Our Lady and pray for her concerns instead. I haven't tried it but it sounds like a good idea. https://www.spiritofmedjugorje.org/index.php?ArticleSeq=62#gsc.tab=0 It's monstrous that cost should prevent anyone from seeking pain relief. I hope that this tapering does help you, and that you are able to cope.
Yes and me also Brian, what a cross for you to bear. Just in passing, I heard an interview with Dr Merritt recently where she talked about going through First Nations doctors to circumvent some of the issues with DEA in the classic system. I do not remember the details, but maybe this can give you some leads? Seems that the doctors in the First Nations in the US have certain privileges that can be helpful in these times. Just sharing this in case it triggers a path for you to obtain that medication that you can't get through traditional circuits at the moment. God Bless you.
