Dot,
I couldn't possibly agree with Lapis more> He's 100% right and raider said the same thing. There's wisdom in the council of many.
You don't need to live with all those awful symptoms. God does heal miraculously and supernaturally, and I can attest to that from having been totally healed of breast cancer, a fibroyd tumor and total infertility without a single touch from doctors and to theiR complete amazement. But in the last few years I've noticed that He now seems to expect me to take care of my body in a responsible manner, and doesn't make things quite so easy for me anymore, simply because he wants me to grow. Learning how to take care of one's body after years of neglect requires great commitment and growth, but that's something He greatly desires for us.
So we all hope that you don't just dismiss what we are saying, because remember Dot, if God can use a donkey to bring forth a message, then he can certainly use us in this forum. :-D)
