      From ak17 April 8

      May God bless you and keep you in perfect peace. Here are some encouraging healing bible verses to uplift you. Remember, faith moves mountains and you can get through anything and be healed in the name of Jesus. John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. Exodus 23:25 And ye shall serve the LORD your God, and he shall bless thy bread, and thy water; and I will take sickness away from the midst of thee. Psalms 6:2 Have mercy upon me, O LORD; for I am weak: O LORD, heal me; for my bones are vexed. Psalm 103:3-4 Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases; Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies. Isaiah 53:5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. Matthew 4:23 And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of sickness and all manner of disease among the people. Jeremiah 17:14 Heal me, O LORD, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved: for thou art my praise. Matthew 8:14-17 And when Jesus was come into Peter's house, he saw his wife's mother laid, and sick of a fever. And he touched her hand, and the fever left her: and she arose, and ministered unto them. When the even was come, they brought unto him many that were possessed with devils: and he cast out the spirits with his word, and healed all that were sick: That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, Himself took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses. Psalms 55:22 Cast thy burden upon the LORD, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved. 2 Corinthians 12:9-10 And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong. Acts 3:7 And he took him by the right hand, and lifted him up: and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength.

      You don't need to feel guility about taking time for yourself. Remember...when you feel good, rested, and happy, that's when one is at their best to give of themselves to those they love and care about. May your mother live and enjoy what life has to offer; with your love and care she will. Mypearl

      Hey! Thanks for the hug! I read a little on profile and don't know all the situation so just tell me to be quit if stepping on toes or sounding dumb. Yogurt with active yeast cultures called Benefit by Great Value at WalMart is what I use to regulate digestive tract. I also have IBS. Just don't list everything...then I would really feel sick! LOL! Hope it helps you. Thanks again for your comment on my probs. Have a great weekend! Love Rhea

    • Open Fibromyalgia

      I have had fibromyalgia since 1970. I was being treated for arthritis with gold shots. Naturally that did not help me. Went to a rheumatologist and he did extensive tests and concluded that I have fibromyositis as fibromyalgia was called back then. I had been on Ultram (tramadol) until my HMO switched in 1999. I then have been to several doctors and none of them acknowlege there is such a thing a fibromyalgia. So I am not receiving any treatment for it anymore. I am in pain.

    • Open Hemorrhoids

      I got a colonoscopy July 9,2008 from a Pittsburgh gastroenterologist. He put me to sleep for the proceedure. I awoke numb and went home. Then the pain from the colonoscopy/hemorrhoids started hurting. I have been trying to find a "cure" or at least a "doctor" that can get rid of these new hemorrhoids for me with no luck so far. I need more info and help with this. Thanks.

      Treatments

      Anusol Working / Worked
      This does not work at all.
      Preparation H Working / Worked
      No suppositories nor ointments nor creams have done anything to help relieve the pain or shrink the new hemorrhoids.
