Highs and Lows Living with the Disease

Another Beautiful Day!  
Today, I'm hoping to get the rest of the plants in before we have a hard freeze. I'm cleaning up the front porch so I can fit the rest of my plants in. 

The leds for the Spinal Cord Stimulator was taken out on Friday.  I found out that when they placed the stimulator, I ended up with 6 holes instead of the 2 holes as they search for the right area to place them...it took the Dr awhile.
The stimulator did a great job blocking the pain signals to the brain.  Before I left the Dr office, on Friday, I told them I was interested in the permanent stimulator.  But before I can have it placed the Dr wants me to get down to 5mg of prednisone.  Currently I'm at 10 mg.  So after we return from Oklahoma next week I will go down to 7.5mg and a week and a half later I go down to 6mg and a week later I will go down to 5mg.  It may be temporary but I will be down to the 5mg to help the healing process go better :-)  I will be out of commission for 8 weeks.  No bending, reaching, moving more than 30 degrees or lifting.  They want the scare tissue to form around the leds to hold them in place.  I  will have to carry a medical card at all times.  The remote control will the way I control the controller which is placed under my skin in a pocket on my back.
I'm having the stimulator placed on the 22nd of November.  If I have a flare before then I may need to go up instead of down on my prednisone and if that happens I will have to wait until I can get the prednisone down. 
I've also been experimenting with the gabapentin, the nerve pain medication.  I was told when talking with the pain Dr that I'm on a low dose of the pain medication so I have room if I want to go up to see if a higher dose of gabapentin will help.  So I thought I would see how upping the  medication helps.  I'm not sure which would be the best route to go...Please pray for me as I prepare for the surgery, if this is in God's plan. 

I am so thankful for all I can do...
Have a beautiful day!
God's Peace to you and your family!

  1. It’s obvious some patients with HIv are being enslaved to the antiviral and other supplementary Orthodox medicine just to help suppress the virus and not cure it permanently. I have been with the virus since 2015 until I was introduced by a blogger who also narrated her story online on how she was cured of Genital Herpes after using Dr james Herbal Medicine. This is a year and 2 weeks since I was cured of HIV/AIDS. All thanks to  this Great Dr James, for healing meI've seen the great importance of natural herbs and the wonderful work they have done in people's lives. I wonder why people still spend their money on surgery, injections and drugs each time they are sick. Natural herbs can cure all kinds of illness including Shingles, Lupus, Parkinson's disease,Schizophrenia,Cancer,Scoliosis,Bladder Cancer,Colorectal Cancer,Breast Cancer,Kidney Cancer,Leukemia,Lung Cancer,Skin Cancer,Uterine Cancer,Prostate Cancer,Fibromyalgia,aSyndrome Fibrodysplasia ,Epilepsy Dupuytren's disease, Diabetes ,Coeliac disease, Angiopathy, Ataxia,Arthritis,Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis,Alzheimer's disease,Adrenocortical carcinoma.Asthma,Allergic diseases.Hiv_ Aids,Herpes,Inflammatory bowel disease ,Copd,Diabetes. herpes,Cancer,Vaginal burning, diabetics, asthma,EBV, HIV, hepatitis,Enlargement, etc. I've seen it with my own eyes. I was Cured of hiv and my aunt and her husband were cured from Cancer by  the same Dr James who uses natural herbs and roots extracts to cure different kinds of illness. Even Dr James proved to the whole world countless times that natural herbs can cure all kinds of diseases and he cured countless people using natural herbs. I know it is hard to believe but am a living testimony. He prepared herbal medications and sent it to me through DHL COURIER  SERVICES and I took it as he instructed. 7days later after the usage of his herbal medicine , I went to the hospital to do a checkup, the result came out and I was tested NEGATIVE. There is no harm in trying herbs, it will  cure you from any diseases you are suffering from, so why don't you give herbs a try and see its effectiveness..Dr James herbal medicine it's easy to drink with no side   Contact Dr James on Email .... drjamesherbalmix@gmail.com..
