After months of agonizing pain, I finally feel somewhat decent (by RSD standards, that is). I know the regular pain and symptoms we deal with are bad enough but flares and added issues can put our pain levels over the top. Fortunately, some med changes were helpful in bringing things under control. Yet, I'm always amazed at the number of secondary issues that come with RSD, or the side effects from meds, or complications from a procedure. So with all of that going on, it is comforting to have the prayers, wishes and overall support from each other. I'm surely not glad to have RSD but I'm glad to know the compassion and kindness of so many in this community.

Sufficient Grace
"Sometimes God calms the storm...sometimes He lets the storm rage and calms His child." I don't know who said that, but it's certainly true. Blogging has been somewhat of a challenge for me in 2012 due to added health issues; sometimes because the pain is so bad and sometimes because you can't find the words to articulate the pros and cons, good and bad peace and frustration of your life. I stand in amazement that God's grace is sufficient, but all you RSD'ers out there know that doesn't equate to easy. Even bearable is debatable. See why it's hard to articulate. You're grateful to wake up each day to an everlasting love and tender mercies but the pain seems so unbearable. I have to keep reminding myself that everyone has something, be it a broken body or a broken heart.
I won't go into the added health issues because it would make the post too "heavy". On the bright side, my poetry book is in production and my third book has been approved for publication, I'm still able to type and craft, I have friends, family and good care. What more can I say?
You are all in my prayers. I wish you abundant blessings and minimal pain. .
Love,
Jane
