“Search me, God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any offensive way in me and lead me in the way everlasting.”-Psalms 139:23-24
If you read my 2021: More Life, Peace and Goodness-June Edition you know that last month was a little rough. Sadly, it feels that July wants to follow June’s example. Ever since I started my antidepressant tablets, I have been battling a sour stomach. This, in turn, makes me even more anxious. I have a big fear of ending up in the Hospital without insurance which makes my anxiety even worse.
Because I have not felt well, I had to cancel or change my plans. This past weekend I missed a friend’s birthday party. I was looking forward to the party and I just had to miss it. I called the following Monday to see if I could see my nurse any earlier then my scheduled appointment. The clinic could not offer me an earlier appointment. All they could offer was a quick phone consultation with the prescription nurse who told me to keep track of my symptoms and to try antinausea medicine. I have tried it, but it has not worked. The only thing I have found helpful is to take my two prescriptions at different times and to take a mint when I need it. Moreover, I was planning on taking a continuing education class on writing my memoir. I ended up deciding to wait until August to take the class.
During this time, I have been praying that God is hearing my prayers and will heal me. Please keep me in your prayers.
He hears all prayers Amanda. Many meds can mess with your stomach and sometimes it’s just a matter of time for your stomach to get used to them. My doctor put me on one med that (after speaking with her again) I had to take half for a few weeks. Then added the second. It worked and was finally able to take the meds. So continue to work with your meds and if things do not improve give your nurse another call. And know that God hears and answers in the way He thinks best for you. Lots of love!
Thank you for the prayers. I am improving.
I am sorry that this month is starting out rough for you. Sometimes meds need to be taken at separate times. You can look up what you are taking by doing an internet search, like Duck Duck Go or Google. Drugs.com or HealthLine are examples. Sometimes they have tips for the patient. I think we are called patients because we need to be patient. (Old joke, still applies.) Best wishes. 😎
Thanks for reading. I am improving.
