Oh Lynn,
Be careful to not allow condemnation to set in and make this worse.
The bottom line is *sometimes* it simply is NOT spiritual- it is physical. Sometimes Christians have a hard time excepting that, but it's true.
We live in flesh- sometimes our "flesh" gets messed up and sick. And sometimes we can pray, and pray, and pray but we still need earthly wisdom from a doctor to get the "flesh" part of us better again.
Can God touch you instantly and stop this? YES! And don't stop trusting Him but don't feel like He has failed you becuase He hasn't.
Sometimes HE sustains us and not instantly heals us. And I beginning to think there is a greater faith found in going "through" the thing than being rescued from it (as hard and painful as that is!).
I will put you on the TOP of prayer list this week and ask God to calm you, give you peace, the right meds, and wisdom on how to get better.
I am so so sorry.. Praying for you!
