Living with chronic illness is no joke. I've had some pretty serious health issues for the last 8 years. All of my symptoms are "invisible". So, yeah...I may look OK, but on any given day I can be pretty miserable. I've been told I have either Fibromyalgia and/or Chronic Lyme's Disease. Symptoms range from mild to severe, depending on the day.
Most days people with Fibromyalgia feel:
*generalized flu-like feeling
*body aches/muscle pain
*burning skin
*headaches
*muscle tension
*nausea
*irritable bowel
*depression
*anxiety
and on and on.....

I'm come a long way in dealing with my symptoms. I still get down sometimes and wish I could just me "normal" again. I will feel sorry for myself at times. The hardest thing to deal with is the ups and downs. I can feel absolutely amazing for a week or two and then...BAM....I will feel awful for a few days. SO HARD. It's also HARD not to blame and question God. "Why me?"
Some days it's really hard to keep a good, healthy perspective on life. So, when I came across this book recently I was so happy. It's the true story of a young man and his wife as they walk through Martins' horrible health crisis. My mind was blown and I HIGHLY recommend this book. Each chapter covers a truth and a myth about trials.
Example: Myth: When things look dark, God is gone.
Truth: When things look dark, God's light
shines the brightest.
This book is filled with beautiful soul filling spiritual truths. If you or someone you know is struggling with chronic health problems....GET THIS BOOK! Buy: here
If you are struggling and need help, I'm here. God Bless-Karen
