@shellylynn123 Whew! It sounds like you are living sorta like walking on eggshells. That has to feel like a tremendous weight.
I am curious about a couple things that resonate with me. You mention ibuprofen as the possible culprit and also that your doctor has made recommendations to address perhaps health anxiety, through counseling and medication that feel contrary to your faith.
Does your doctor agree ibuprofen may be responsible for your bleeding, and if has he/she tried a way to support healing without being extreme? Has anyone discussed how you could incorporate Biblical principals into a focus on managing the impact your health is having on you?

@shellylynn123 Checking in to follow up. I thought of you seeing a particular book that has helped me. You mentioned taking the direction of reading your Bible helping with your stress. I love that!
Here is a photo of the book cover, Breath as Prayer. Your experiences in the hospital remind me of how the author describes what brought her to explore combining the two, breathing and prayer. Her approach is also helpful to recall scripture in stressful situations when you may not have a Bible with you.
I would love to hear what you think.
