Well, I have a pain. Epilepsy, last year was a nightmare and this year came close to repeating it. I'm doing ok right now. I'm still a skeptic, because before I really hit rock bottom and started to have seizures, I turned to god.

After that, things continued on their slide and the seizures started which can only be described as the worst, most pure form of pain imaginable. I'd expect that being set on fire hurts less than some of the seizures I had.

I don't blame any god for this, but I do doubt that any listened in any sense whatsoever. When you try and be a good person and believe and get smacked down, you are left bitter.

Pain is brutal, especially when it is so unexpected, and no one seems to be able to help. Epilepsy shouldn't hurt! But this sounds almost like neurological pain - the "burning like fire" sounds exactly like the pain I used to experience. Is it post-seizure or pre-seizure?

I refuse to believe that you were meant to suffer through this. I don't accept it as "God's will in your life", nor do I believe that your "lack of faith" has brought you this. And I refuse to believe that there is nothing that can be done...

I am praying for you right now - and I know it is of little comfort to those who have prayed for comfort and found none. But I will do it, the same - and I will do more.
