Migraine update

November 2, I went to see a new doctor, Michael Ledtke. He was trained in family medicine, but now specializes more in chronic diseases. He weaned me off the anti-depressant (Pamelor) and put me on Magnesium, B2, B6, and lots of water with increased salt intake. These things seemed to help the severity. The days I did have migraines, they weren't as debilitating. And then, mid-November, I actually had a period of 9 days in a row, where I didn't have any. That was unheard of as I'd been experiencing more like 2-4/week for months! Later, I realized this corresponded with my infertile phase and when I started my period again, they returned. 4 major headaches this week...it wasn't such a good week :)

Tomorrow, I go back to Dr. Ledtke for a follow up visit. I am eagerly anticipating what he is going to say.

I am also eagerly antcipating the day God's going to heal me of this. This past fall, I have done a Bible study with my mom called "Believing God" by Beth Moore. It was life changing! I would highly recommend it.

It was all about, You say you Believe in God, but do you Believe God? It totally took me back to my core of what I believe to be true of God and myself. He's taken me on quite a journey. At one point, I realized that even if I knew what the cure was, I wasn't sure I was ready to be done being ill. Wild! I've lived with the chronic pain for so long, I was just used to life like that. But praise the Lord, He moved me past that. I'm ready to be healed, and now I know He can do it. I'm believing Him! Bring it Lord! Take these migraines away! We're going to Turkey! I love Him for taking me on this journey. After He heals me of this, I'm excited to see what comes next in my walk with Him. I've learned that this is more about knowing Him through the journey. This is just one level, and next time He'll take me deeper and expose more sin, and heal me, and get more glory! We're in for one big adventure!
