Miserable and Frustrated

[TheresaMae]

I have really been hit with a double whammy this week. Late Sunday night I was hit a major MS attack. Numbness in my arms and legs and tremors along with extreme fatigue had me bedfast all day Monday. The MS symtoms eased up a little by Tuesday morning. Then by Monday evening I was struck with a terrible IC flare. My MS causes severe urinary incontinence by itself. Thrown in an IC flare and my bladder has been tuned into nothing but a drippy faucet that cannot be shut off. Instead of the spontaneous accidents that I am used to I am having to deal with an almost constant dribble, going through a record amount of adult diapers and the worst burning inside my bladder I have ever expeieinced.:help: I was just sure I had UTI but the initial test at my uroloigist was negative and I just received word that the cure also came back negative. I really don't know much more of this I can take. My two diseases are reducing me to invalid status. I haven't even felt like putting makeup on the last 2 days and bathing has become a difficult chore. My husband is out of town on business and won't be back until Sunday night. I am lonely, depressed, in a tremndous amount of pain. I have got a diaper rash from wet so much of the time and this morning I woke up with what feels like a vaginal yeast infection. I need everyone's prayers and support during this difficult time. My body is failing me and if I don't get some relief my mind could very well be next. Thanks for reading my pity-party of a post.

Oh, Theresa, my heart goes out to you. I am going to pray for you right now. I wish there was more I could do to help you. Have you tried hydrocortozone for your rash? Is there anyone near you that can help you?

Praying for you, sorry to hear you are having such a rough time.

Heavenly Father,

I thank You for who You are and for Your mercy, love, and peace. I thank You, Lord, that You always hear our prayers, and You are always there for us. There is none like you, Lord. You are our healer, comforter, and whatever we need when we need it. I ask you, Lord, right now to touch my sister and calm this storm in her body. Lord, You said that you would not put on us more than we can bear but sometimes, Lord, it seems it is that way. You know her heart and her pain like nobody else does. I ask You, Lord, to let Your peace fill the room where she is right now. Jesus, You said that we would do even greater things than You did when You were here. I say to these two storms that are racing through Theresa's body, "Peace, Be still!" Just like you did to the storms at sea when the disciples thought they would perish. I speak to this pain and command it to line up with the Word of God that she will walk in health, lacking nothing. Let Your peace flow right now, Lord, from your very throne. Let Theresa crawl up into your lap and get lost in Your loving arms. Let her feel Your arms around her right now and just let Your love and peace comfort her just as she is Your daughter. Thank You, Lord..You are such an awesome God...You hear us call in our pain and You come running..thank You, Lord..Thank you for your calming touch...I love you, Lord and give You all the praise and glory. Just let Your name be glorified!! I ask all this in the wonderful name of Jesus and thank You, Lord, that it is done....

Amen

:grouphug: Would your health insurance provide you with a visiting nurse or nurses aid? Also, up here some drugstores deliver-could you get the drugstore to deliver some supplies like Desitan? (Not sure if I spelled it right) It's the diaper rash ointment. Maybe that would help the discomfort from the adult diapers. That must be awful for you. I wish we all lived closer so we could help one another. All I can do is offer lame suggestions, but I will be praying for you. Hope this passes soon.

KarenAnne, I have my mother staying with me while my husband is away. She is taking care of things very well. I wasn't very clear in post. I want to say thanks to everyone for your replies.
