National Invisible Chronic Illness Awareness Week's Blurbs
Sept 10-16, 2007
Do you feel lonely in
your invisible illness?
Misunderstood? Frustrated?
You've come to the right
place!
Did you know 1 in 2 people
have a chronic illness?
And 96% of all illness is invisible!
National Invisible Chronic
Illness Awareness Week, held annually in September, is a designated time, worldwide,
in which people who live with chronic illness, those that love them, and organizations
are encouraged to educate the general public, churches, healthcare professionals
and government officials about the impact of living with a chronic illness that
is not visually apparent.
You may have an invisible
chronic illness, and that ride is and emotional roller coaster. We're
here to ride along with you!
Who I'd like to meet: We at Rest Ministries do not participate in or condone the practice of astrology. We regret that this site is designed in such a way that zodiac signs are
automatically added and cannot be removed.

Philippians 3:13 Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, 14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
It’s only Jello Through life thing happen to us, some we bring on ourselves, because of decisions we have made. Some are due to circumstances beyond our control or things that other people have done to us and we were not able to protect ourselves. So, we begin to build walls to protect ourselves, a brick here, a brick there, and pretty soon we have a wall that appears to be impenetrable, but “It’s Only Jello”. The enemy (satan), wants you to believe that you can’t get past all the pain, the sorrow, the hurt, the betrayal, the abuse, the broken heart, the unforgiveness , the fear, the rejection, the abandonment, and all of the other thousand things that keep us from the the relationships that we desire and especially from the relationship that Abba (Father God), desires to have with us. My prayer for you today and everyday is that you would search out your heart and name off everything you find there that is not of God and in your mind put it in a cardboard box, seal it and lift it to the Lord. And as you lift it to Him, He in return is sending you down a beautiful present filled with all His love, His goodness, kindness, mercy, grace, forgiveness, His peace, comfort, strength and joy. So, choose today to take a deep breath and push through the wall, it only looks like bricks. It’s “Really Only” Jello.
Hebrews 12: 1Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, 2Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand
Great info. This is a step in the right direction. I want to try it...LoL
First Drug Approved Drug name: Lyrica (pregabalin) Manufactured by: Pfizer Inc. Approval date: June 21, 2007 Approved for: Lyrica is approved for treating fibromyalgia in adults who are 18 years and older. Pfizer has agreed to perform a study of the drug in children with fibromyalgia and a study in breastfeeding women.
How it works: Lyrica reduces pain and improves function in patients with fibromyalgia. The mechanism of action is unknown, but there is some data suggesting that it has effects on the release of neurotransmitters in the brain. Neurotransmitters are chemicals in the brain that transmit signals from one neuron to another. People with fibromyalgia experience pain differently than people who don’t have the condition. Treatment with Lyrica reduces the level of pain in some patients.
Effectiveness: The effectiveness of Lyrica in treating fibromyalgia was established in two randomized, placebo-controlled trials of approximately 1800 people. These trials showed that treatment with Lyrica in doses of 300-450 mg per day reduced pain and improved function in patients with fibromyalgia. They also demonstrated that symptoms of fibromyalgia worsened when Lyrica was withdrawn.
Safety: The most common side effects of Lyrica include dizziness and sleepiness,blurry vision, weight gain, trouble concentrating, swelling of the hands and feet, and dry mouth. Allergic reactions can also occur. These are rare, but potentially serious. FDA advises patients to talk with their doctors about whether using Lyrica will impair their ability to drive. More than Medicine, People with fibromyalgia may find relief of symptoms with pain relievers, sleep medicines, antidepressants, muscle relaxants, and anti-seizure medications. But medication is just one part of the treatment approach. Walking, jogging,biking, gently stretching muscles,and other exercises also can
When I see the word Guidance, I see "dance" at the end of the word. I remember reading that doing God's will is a lot like dancing. When two people try to lead, nothing feels right. The movement doesn't flow with the music, and everything is quite uncomfortable and jerky. When one person realizes that, and lets the other lead, both bodies begin to flow with the music. One gives gentle cues, perhaps with a nudge to the back or by pressing lightly in one direction or another. It's as if two become one body, moving beautifully. The dance takes surrender, willingness, and attentiveness from one person and gentle guidance and skill from the other.
Look at the word Guidance. When you see "G": you think of God, followed by "u" and "i". "God, "u" and "i" dance." God, you, and I dance.
Be willing to trust that you will get guidance. Be willing to let God lead. My prayer for you today is that God's blessings and mercies are upon you on this day and everyday. May you abide in God, as God abides in you. And I Hope You Dance !
