@lindy9 I eat very little sugar, never have drank coffee, alcohol or smoked. I never drink soft drinks. I try to eat the recommend amount of veggies and fruits but it is difficult as we are on such limited income and prices of groceries are astronomical here. My husband and I are retired, he can't do any major manual labor due to bowel cancer, praise the Lord though, he's been cancer free for over 5 years, but the surgeries, etc, took their toll on him. He's a miracle and his attitude is terrific. I do read my Bible daily and have had my pastor lay hands on me numerous times. I asked the Lord to help me but I feel He isn't listening or His answer is "No". I do not take any drugs, just an occasional ibuprofen or acetaminophen when my sciatica pain is unbearable. Some days I feel so helpless and so alone, I know Satan is giving me these feelings, but it's so hard to ignore them.
