OT - Way OT - Miracule that happened to me
This is a copy of of post I posted to Bead Art, my home group and true
Sisters, located on Delphi. Posting here because I do feel close to you all and know some of you have health problems also. //////////////////// 13273.1 Geez Girls I been trying to post this since it "happened" but have been struggling with the right words. I will try to make a long story short as I can: For 5+ years now I have been suffering from excruciating pain, on and off, (but when I say off I mean "lurking"), in the left side of my face. In the beginning I went to alot of Dr.'s and was diagnosed with everything from Trigeminal Neuralgia, Fibromyalgia or an odd kind of Lupus involving the head and neck. The pain does stem from the 5th cranial nerve and medication, not even the strongest pain meds in the world, could not touch it. Was like taking aspirin for labor pains. One medication did help- a kind of anti-seziure drug that was about 20 letters long - but it made me virtually retarded. I also have many other symptoms but can and do live with em. Well, long story short after much research, looking at one of my Sisters who has MS (related disease), and soul searching I decided to discontinue any kind of treatment. Did not want to end up a junkie or a walking drugstore - and it does seem to me FOR ME ONLY that sometimes the cure is worse than the problem. Now to the what happened. Me and my Sister Suzanne went on vacation in October to New Orleans. I drove from TX and she flew from NC. Met there (first time we saw each other since my Ma passed oooo I think 3 years). We had a WONDERFUL TIME. On the very last day we were there we took a Graveyard Tour. This exact one: http://www.tourneworleans.com/ On the tour you visit and tour this exact church: http://www.neworleanschurches.com/ol...lguaralupe.htm In this exact church there is this Shrine: http://www.saintjudeshrine.com/ My Sister Suzanne whispered to me: Hey you want a donation? (She had the cash, I had the Card)I said yes, of course! So we lagged behind the rest of the group and both prayed at the statue of St. Jude and touched his foot - his foot and hand has been rubbed so much the paint is gone! Anyhoo after the tour Suzanne asked "do you feel any better", I said nope - I do not think it works that way Suzanne. Maybe I will be blessed with strength to carry on and that will be good enough for me. Long story short: the next AM driving home as I was leaving New Orleans I felt the strangest sensation in my face, in the area where the pain always focuses - like pins and needles and maybe heat. Not terribly painful compared to usual but DIFFERENT. Then I get home and I hate to say this publicly but I got the RUNS. For DAYS. Not bad enough to go to Dr. but pretty "there" if you know what I mean. After this I have not had pain - NOT EVEN ONCE - not lurking not anything AT ALL. NOTHING. I waited and waited - NO PAIN. Now the rash has gone from my face, my hands no longer hurt, the fatigue is going away. I am amazed. Dumbfounded. I think to myself "what the HECK"? Could this be a Miracle? Spontaneous remission? In my heart of heart I KNOW it was St. Jude. This is the second time in as many years (first being after I received the Bead Dolls) that unexplained WONDERS have happened. LOVE YOU ALL, Paula |

Your mum has my sympathy. I suffer from Trigeminal Neuralgia.
Just a few weeks ago I got what I thought was toothache and got in to see the dentist. He x-rayed it and set me up appointments for a root filling. Two days later the pain had gone from my teeth to my jaw bone and ear. Back at the dentists he said the X-ray was clear. So I did not have to suffer the root filling. It was the TN attacking again. It is extremely painful Give your mum a hug for me Shirley In message , Tinkster writes On 25 Nov 2004 05:19:11 -0800, (Paula C.

This is the second time in as many years (first being after I received the
Bead Dolls) that unexplained WONDERS have happened. That's awesome news, Paula! Write to the church - they post when prayers have been answered. Carol in SLC Some of my stuff: http://members.aol.com/carolinslc/karen.jpg http://members.aol.com/carolinslc/oceansprite.jpg |

So the truth is, you were just full of crap?
Ok sorry, I couldn't resist. Seriously, what a wonderful blessing! I'm so happy you have relief from the pain! I love New Orleans, definitely one of my favorite cities.

If you remain well, please consider contacting the Our Lady of Guadalupe Church. The Catholic Church keeps records of miracles, and yours may be the one that keeps the diocese from closing the church. (As someone coming from Boston, where the diocese is closing 1/3 of the churches) I'll keep you in my prayers for a complete and lasting cure. Kathy N-V |

Oh Shirley, I'm so sorry! Is this on top of your back problem, or
part of it? It seems so unfair, but at least you got your trip to Malta. Feel better soon, willya?

It is something that I have suffered from off and on for the past 4
years. It comes and goes. My back has improved and I am walking without the stick. I cannot stand for long. It is painful if I try to walk too far.
