Dear Angel,
Yes, I have mine under control! And so does my sister, after just a month on Heather's diet! My attacks are very infrequent and usually follow eating something I shouldn't have - I tried a fish sandwich and didn't think the little bit of shredded lettuce would hurt me - wishful thinking. My network of friends at church has been wonderful, too - they've kept me from feeling isolated and left out! They pray for me, too, and I believe that's a powerful help. I don't know what your beliefs are, but if you're really housebound, you might want to try calling some national ministries that have prayer lines - most have "800" numbers and have people who will pray for you right on the spot. When I've been at my worst, and things seemed pretty dark, I reached out this way and it was such a blessing! Some ministries I can recommend with confidence are: In Touch, with Dr. Charles Stanley; Insight for Living, Chuck Swindoll; New Life Live (1-800-NEWLIFE); and The Urban Alternative, Dr. Tony Evans. These ministries all have websites and I think besides their prayer lines, they have email prayer boards. (It's been a while since I used them, and ministries are always updating). In the meantime, I'll put you on my prayer list at church, and your needs will be lifted up!
Blessings, Kaybee C
