Physical problems

Renee Bonfield ... evangelist

I am 77 years old and have been suffering from Fibromyalgia which is an extremely painful muscle disease. I was taking steroids for a few years. I had to stop taking the steroids as they gave me Diabetes. I tried many different pain med-ications which either didn't work or had terrible side effects. Finally for about a year now I've been taking Savella, a mild pain medication. This helped a little bit, also with taking Tylenol. Then last week I only had to tablets of Savella left. When I went to my pharmacy I was told the medication would be in the next day. The next day, no medication. I was told that their shipment never arrived and I would have to wait until Monday to receive it. Finally it was there yesterday.

All through the weekend I was wondering how I was going to get through the weekend without the Savella. In the past the pain all over me was so intense that all I could do is sit in my recliner or lie down and pray, always asking God for His mercy. I did not take this medication when it came in, and as God is my witness, I have not suffered one minutes pain since. I think I'm still in shock at the miraculous healing I received. I've been thanking God all day. I just can't believe that so many blessings have come to me. Praise God Almighty. and my beloved Jesus.

There is a wonderful line of a song from "Fiddler on the Roof," which goes Wonder of wonders, Miracle of Miracles, God came and took me by the hand.

This reminds me of something similar that happened to me several years ago.  I had developed a "skin tag" on my back.  Just a hanging little piece of skin, but larger and more annoying than others I've had.  It would hurt when my clothing would rub against it so I began having a bandaid on it constantly.  My husband would suggest having it removed by doctor, but that did not appeal to me.  It didn't cause me that much trouble and I hate going to doctors and having procedures done.

But one day I turned in bed and it hurt more than usual and I decided to go ahead and have it removed.  My husband had made an appointment for our daughter to see dermatologist and I would go same time.  One night I was praying about this appointment, various things not even having to do with the physical problem.  Then I added something like.....it would be even better if I didn't have to go at all.  

The next morning after my shower I looked in mirror to see if the bandaid was still there, and to my shock and delight, the bandaid and skin tag were completely gone.  No scar, no bleeding.
