Prayers need

Hi Ladies

PLEASE DO NOT MENTION ANYTHING ON FACE BOOK! Because it is really not my place to mention this but a friend of mine has fybromyalgia, and is really struggling with it badly, she doesnt' like people to know she has it because she wants to try and lead a normal life as possible!

Basically you have chronic pain in all your soft tissues all the time, which causes high blood pressure, migraines (she gets at least 2 a week where they hit her so hard she can't see and passes out form pain), it causes insomnia and also depression and anxiety. It also can cause arthritis- she has all of the condtions

She's going thru an extremely difficult time, we've been very good friends for over 3 years, and she's only just told me about it - DH and her have been friends for over 10 years and he doesn't even know about it!

She's so young and is getting married soon, i'm her maid of honour, and is such a strong and amazing person and hasn't complained once - NOT ONE SINGLE TIME. I've read up on it and spoke to my dr about it and she said if you have it bad enough you cannot lead a normal life and most of the people who have it are on medication for the rest of their lives.

She isn't on a medical aid but thank god her parents are able to help her with the medical bills etc, she's really been unwell - she can't get out of bed from sheer exhaustion and being in constant pain.

Please pray that she feels better and that the dr's that she sees are able to help her so that she can enjoy one of the most special times in her life, her wedding! She's so down right now because she's on so much medication.
