Prayer for a friend
Posted on 05/23/2002 12:39:19 PM PDT by farmfriend
I know there are prayer warriors on FR. Please pass this post on. My friend has been suffering with this for a while now and doctors don't seem to be able to pin point a cause or offer relief.
Her letter to me:
Tuesday evening I experienced what appeared to be the beginnings of a severe migraine, I took the appropriate medication & was spared of the pain that usually accompanies. However, I experienced symptoms I have never had before, and they continue to a lesser degree. My equilibrium is off (difficult to keep my balance), and the right side of my face is partially numb. You know that feeling when you've left the dentist's office and your face is 'waking up.' That is what it feels like. I just came from my neurologist's office, and he feels it is most likely a different manifestation of migraine. However, he has ordered another MRI (had the first earlier this month & it was normal), to rule out the possibility of a TIA ~ or 'mini' stroke. So after only 7 work days, I am again off work. I am MUCH more than just frustrated!!!
I will do my best to keep you all updated, and I thank you in advance for your prayers. Much love in Christ, and may He pour out His richest blessings on you and all that you do.
Becky

It can indeed be migrane, farmfriend. I lose partial field of vision periodically with mine...never during a headache....wish I could blame grammatical errors on that!!LOL! There are all sorts of neurological reasons for the symptoms your friend describes, previous injury,etc. mostly benign....well of course unless you live with it on a daily basis and everyone tells you it's in your head. Tell her NOT to listen to that nonsense. Prayers for your friend and YOU for being such a good friend.

Sending prayers for Becky. I experienced migraines when I was a teenager, it was frightening until the cause was found.
Not knowing why is the worst part.

farmfriend, I agree with AuntB. I too suffer from migraines and have slip discs in my neck, feels the same way and I hope and pray that is all it is.
She should get a MRI and CT scan of head and neck and for the added dizziness, even an MRI of the sinus. I of course am no doctor but have had many tests such as these and was reassured when I found the true cause.
Just knowing what it is can ease the anxiety, albeit, not the pain.
But once you find out it isn't something deadly, you can live through the pain knowing that "this too, shall pass".
Let us know what she finds out. If it is related to muscle, bone or pinched nerves, physical therapy is a wonderful way to go. Save the heavy meds for the worst of times.
God bless and help your friend find the answer.

Please tell Becky not to give up hope, even if it is a stroke. God's plan is mysterious. Please tell her we will all pray for her healing, and her happiness.
