I have chronic back problems. I had a ruptured disc when I was pregnant with my son and had surgery. I needed another surgery in November because it ruptured again, but I prayed boldly for healing.

It's healed. No joke.

While it still bothers me and is stiff and sore, it's no longer a cross to bear. It's a testimony to God and what he can do in our lives if we pray boldly. It's a major part of my testimony now! Read more about it  here: http://www.thelazychristian.com/2010/12/you-cant-say-he-doesnt-listen.html

Today  it is a cross to bare.  Living in constant pain and fatigue.  Fibromyalgia is not fun.  My testimony with the disease is that I do not let it stop me.  I push my self a little to much at times but I survive.

My fibro is definitely a cross to bear. I recorded a vlog today being brutally honest about what this disease is like. http://www.thealmons.com/ccblog/?p=2588

I have a condition called, interstitial cystitis, which is basically referred to as "bladder pain syndrome". It was something I was misdiagnosed with, instead, having severely painful ovarian cysts, which I also have had. There is no cure for this and yes, some days it is cross to bear, other times, I remind myself that everything God plans for me, is planned for His overall purpose for me..."Everything happens for a reason" is something I live by and believe I endure this pain, because I can handle it in a sense, even though it is rated "one of the most chronic, severely debilitating bladder diseases one can have".

To me, it is so hard for me to deal with, yet I will NEVER let it get the best of me. I fight the pain and move throughout each day with expectations that a miracle will occur.
