Just suffered my worst episode yet last night. I had been CH free for 2.5 years until this season.  I have been dealing with these every spring and fall for 10 years until this past reprieve for over two years; now it's back.

What do you do when you have begged God to take this pain away?

What are you currently taking to prevent your CHs and to abort then when you get them?

Let us know more detail about your CH and how you deal with them and we'll be able to give you some good advice to help.

God created everything, including CH, and gave it to a chosen few.

God is all-powerful and could cure CH in a moment, but chooses not to.

Gods are strange.

What Bob P said. ^^^

Yes, there are a number of us who are Christians on here. No place in the Bible does it say God will take away our problems just because we ask or demand that He do so. However, it does say He will be with us in our trials, that he will give us the strength and ability to handle them, and He will give us wisdom to find the solutions. The thing is, we tend to want Him to just wave his hand at the issue and take it away. That's not the way He does things.

All throughout nature, God created what we need to care for whatever health issues we have. We, however, have not been bothered to pay attention to what He provided for us, and as a consequence, we have had to deal with that lack of attention. The "we" is historical and inclusive of all of humanity. God created mushrooms, which are now being found to be therapeutic for a wide number of different health issues, but they've been ignored by most of the population in favor of science. Look at the number of us who have become PF because of ingesting small amounts of the magic mushrooms. He didn't create them to be abused, but used. However, because of those who chose to abuse them, our all-knowing governments banned them. Marijuana has much the same history. The number of treatments available from Marijuana is growing almost daily, yet it has been banned. Is this God's fault? Vitamin D was created by God for our benefit, and it is available to us from the sun, but also in our diet, but we choose to not eat healthily. When we then get sick, is it God's fault?

Perhaps instead of begging God to take the pain away, when you know that is not the way He works, you should ask Him for wisdom (He tells us to ask for wisdom in the book of James, and He promises to give it) to find the answers in what He has already created for our benefit. Read, read, read here and on Clusterbusters to find answers. Check out what is working for other people and you may well find yourself PF and living life again the way God created you to live it. (38 weeks PF, and loving life.)

God Will Save Me

A terrible storm came into a town and local officials sent out an emergency warning that the riverbanks would soon overflow and flood the nearby homes. They ordered everyone in the town to evacuate immediately.

A faithful Christian man heard the warning and decided to stay, saying to himself, “I will trust God and if I am in danger, then God will send a divine miracle to save me.”

The neighbors came by his house and said to him, “We’re leaving and there is room for you in our car, please come with us!” But the man declined. “I have faith that God will save me.”

As the man stood on his porch watching the water rise up the steps, a man in a canoe paddled by and called to him, “Hurry and come into my canoe, the waters are rising quickly!” But the man again said, “No thanks, God will save me.”

The floodwaters rose higher pouring water into his living room and the man had to retreat to the second floor. A police motorboat came by and saw him at the window. “We will come up and rescue you!” they shouted. But the man refused, waving them off saying, “Use your time to save someone else! I have faith that God will save me!”

The flood waters rose higher and higher and the man had to climb up to his rooftop.

A helicopter spotted him and dropped a rope ladder. A rescue officer came down the ladder and pleaded with the man, "Grab my hand and I will pull you up!" But the man STILL refused, folding his arms tightly to his body. “No thank you! God will save me!”

Shortly after, the house broke up and the floodwaters swept the man away and he drowned.

When in Heaven, the man stood before God and asked, “I put all of my faith in You. Why didn’t You come and save me?”

And God said, “Son, I sent you a warning. I sent you a car. I sent you a canoe. I sent you a motorboat. I sent you a helicopter. What more were you looking for?”

Aye, Jon. There is a lot of truth, there.

I fully believe God gave us the mushroom for our head, cancer, and a host of other things. He gave us Marijuana for epilepsy, cancer, and a host of other things. He gave us Vit D for the head, for our hearts, for our immune system and a host of other things. And there are many other healing creations God has given us.

We on the other hand have abused them and outlawed them, and then we blame God because we weren't open to what He created for our benefit. Then when our house gets swept away, as it were, we want to blame God.

Thank you, Peter! I'm loving life at this moment!
