Christmas season prayers

[Guest guest]

I haven't posted for awhile now. Since June I've had badly cramped muscles in my

right arm to the point that I couldn't work. My chiro has helped butit reached a

point that it wouldn't heal past. He sent me to a neurologist in Terre Haute. He

thoroughly checked me and thinks that I have a herniated cervical disc and that

my RA has taken up residence in my neck. Didn't know that it could do THAT! I am

to return day Tues (day after tomorrow) for an E.M.G. test to determine which

disc is causing the problem. So....please pray that they can figure out which

one and that he can fix this so I can go back to work?

What do any of you guys & gals do for relief if you have RA in your neck? Right

now heat is the only thing that helps me.

Secondly: my RA is really flaring due to severe stress: my husband's heart is

better after visiting Mayo back in May but he's been having a constant headache

for months! He finally started opening up about the headaches and asked to visit

his regular doc. All the medications that she's given him haven't touched these

headaches nor has any of the over-the-counter medications. She wants him to see

a neurologist and so does he now. I was successful in making an appt in

Indianapolis with a group of neuros from the IU Med Center on December 30th! He

confessed to me last night that he can press on a spot on the back of his head

and make the headaches flame up immediatly! He's been throwing up daily with

these headaches and phenergan is barely helping. Last night his right hand shook

when he picked up anything with it. Oh, if they can find something wrong?! My

blood pressure has been hovering around 140/80 for months now!

I think if it weren't for the high stress the RA would calm down again. I know

lots of you pray for each other. Would you add us in for a couple of weeks?

We're Dalanne & Jim. I do pray for you folks as I see the needs and the hurts

but I don't usually ask for it for myself.
