am i alone

[Northern lass]

I have restless leg syndrome, early parkinson- hand tremors etc and immune issues!

Gosh I sound so horribly broken down, but have just learned to live and work through this all~

We all learn to live and work through stuff but it doesn't mean we can't support each other in doing so. It sometimes seems a lonely path when people around us are not experiencing the same thing.

Oak, you have so much on your plate! You have my prayers!

I know of no such forum, but I'm sure there must be one.

Oakleaf, almost all our chronic illnesses are related either to our Collagen Matrix, our Hormones, or our pH levels. Please go online to www.ashnow.com

Ask George if he will put a new forum on here. It will be a big help to many on here.

heya ya'll, im just wondering if there are others here that have chronic illnesses and are finding it hard to talk about how you are feelin....is there a forum where we can go to and possible help each other deal with our pain and confusion....a place that we can go to and can get support and not feel like we are alone in our sufferin...or am i the only one that feels alone and that i have to deal with all my chronic illnesses by myself.....i am sufferin with several auto immune diseases that have no cure and way to many other illnesses that are linked together....i aint lookin for prayer of healin but im lookin for others who are goin thru life with incurable diseases and possibly help each other thru good days and bad days....basically a support group forum or something like it....if you are chronically ill lets get together and see if we cant help each other by sharing our experiences, pain, and anything else that we can think of...even makin jokes about it anything that would help us get thru the tough times......oak

Jesus has paid the price for your healing.

Isaiah 53: 4--5, Matthew 8: 1--17. 1 Peter 2: 24.

before the death of Jesus, Isaiah had a revelation of Jesus being whipped open and said "By who's stripes we are healed"

Peter looking back after the death of Jesus, said, "By Who's stipes we WERE HEALED" Past tense. Jesus has already provided healing for us.

Matthew says, "Jesus has taken our sickness & infirmities". If He has taken them, Then we dont have to have sickness, we can receive healing by faith in the finished work of Jesus.

The same work that has saved us, Has also healed us, The Hebrew word for Bruise, as in "He was bruise for our iniquiries"

Is the same word for, Stipe, as in, "By who's stipes we are healed".

You dont say to a sinner who is seeking salvation, "Jesus might not save you".

so why do people say, "Jesus might not heal you"

There are many here are suffering .. I really ache for so many...

Not just themselves but their loved ones and they are the caregivers..

So many hearts who need love and assurance in His plan and purpose as they face their personal lions ..(Daniel)

Sometimes I feel so grieved for them and what they are going through ..

I think a place for those who are chronically ill or caregivers for those who are is a great idea..

to lift one another up ... to encourage one another that the Lord is in the midst of all they are experiencing..

to acknowledge that the God of all comfort will meet them and walk with them through even the valley of the shadow of death...

and truthbringer... God does not always heal us in this life ..sometimes He says.."my grace is sufficient"..

2Co 12:8 For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me.

2Co 12:9 And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

Hello Oakbringer,

I don't have all the issues you do but know a bit about autoimmune things, I have a thyroid autoimmune disorder that has branched out into areas that the drs have no clue about. I am usually always online at least monday through friday so if you would like you can pm my anytime. God bless you!

Truthbringer - did Jesus heal everyone at the pool of Siloam?

You have to understand the Ministry of Jesus, He was operating with the Gifts of healings and the word of knowledge in

Jn 5: 6. Neither Jesus, you, I, or anyone else can just go and heal people, unless God told us to,

Jesus just couldn't go and heal anyone, He tells us that in Luke 4: 23--27. One of the reasons for this is, people have to have faith to receive healing.

Mark 6: 5-6. says, Jesus couldn't do any mighty miracles, exept healing a few sick folk, [The Greek says, With minor sicknesses], Why, V6 says, Because of unberlief. That is why He went about teaching V6. Faith come by hearing the word of God.

Matthew 8: 1-17. and Luke 4: 40. says that Jesus healed them all, LETS STAY POSITIVE & NOT BE NEGITIVE.

Jesus also said, "THE BELIEVER SHALL LAY HANDS ON THE SICK, AND THEY SHALL RECOVER" Mk 16:18.

Hi Oakleaf..

I too have been suffering from autoimmune diseases for the past 7 years. Sjorgens, Lupus, vasculitis-neuropathy. I'm wondering if your rheumatologist has tried immune suppressants such as cytoxan or imuran? I did not respond well to these meds but many patients do well. Its a matter of calming down the T cells.

God Bless your heart and give you relief.

Dan
