I must admit, you must be a stronger person that I. I've heard before..."God has chosen you to have this affliction so that you can serve as role model by honoring and worshipping, trusting God in spite of all this". But, to be honest, if that is the case, I would rather He had chosen someong else. I know, that sounds bad....but if I have to be honest, that is how I feel today.

Seriously? I don't feel this way about either my years with an Eating Disorder, or now with all my medical problems, pain, lack of answers or relief. And as far as God not giving us more than we can handle...I can't believe that. I wish is were true...but if it were, people would't be committing suicide to escape the pain of living. Maybe I'm just not a good enough Christian today. I'm not feeling very grateful...except for the love and support of all the people on the boards...and of course for the fact that my God sent His Son to die for us, so that we have the opportunity of experiencing a painless life in Heaven. That is the greates gift!!!!
Tell me, how do you make and keep friends when you are so sick you can't even go out or leave the house? When you can't do the simplest of things? I have yet to find anyone who wnats to "put up" with this "high maintainance".
I will really pray about what you have shared. I know I must get outside of this pain...but at this time, I'm struggling with just how to do that.
I wish you well with your other diseases. May we all find peace and happiness and acceptance with what we have to endure each day.
