    ADD meds, what works, what doesn't. need to know

    I was diagnosed as an adult with ADD. This was several years ago. The only medication I tried was Ritalin. It was awful! It made me have nightmares, anxiety and paranoia. I decided to go alternative health. It is much more difficult, but much healthier and I suspect much more effective...

    (Hopefully, prayerfully) fasting praise reports!

    Well, I assume this will be my last post here. I want to say Thanks to anyone who read these posts. It was encouraging to see numbers on the string adding on. Made me feel more accountable somehow. It has been so helpful, in fact, that I have decided to go on with posting progress (or...

    (Hopefully, prayerfully) fasting praise reports!

    Well, in case anyone was following along in late February, when I began adding Bible verses, I did say that I would mention how feeling that I better understood the love of the Lord seemed to help me in the fasting process. I had been praying to know better how the Lord loves us. Then I came...

    (Hopefully, prayerfully) fasting praise reports!

    The "official" fast ends tonight. I am so thankful to the Lord for getting me through it and most of all for making me realize this is to be a start of a new lifestyle. In case anyone has been following along and is interested, I did make a comment, in the last week of February, that I felt...

    Still fasting. Less than one day to go on the "official" fast. It will be good to have things, again, like wine with dinner and some of the sweeter fruits. I have been making up an updated list of "fast for life" guidelines, though. Only through the strength of Yeshua HaMashiach can I ever...

    Franklin - That is sooo kind of you. I really do appreciate the support (not to mention the prayers)! I have noticed the numbers of readers each day, usually around 10-12, but sometimes more. Somehow that is encouraging and helpful. -------------- Still fasting. I do not feel, overall...

    Still fasting. I am just now starting to feel physically pretty healthy. I have learned that too strenuous food fasting (and I did not think it was even that strenuous) is dangerous. Of course Paul tells us that rough treatment of the body does not help our souls. People say, on the websites...

    Still fasting. Blessed be Thou O El Shaddai, Creator and Ruler of all that is, seen and unseen, and thank You my Abba in the Name of Yeshua HaMashiach for persistence in fasting and that Yeshua takes away the overwhelming burdens of the world, the flesh and the devil, and gives us HIS...

    Still fasting, & Shabbat Shalom! :wave: Blessed be Thou O El Shaddai, Creator and Ruler of All that is, seen and unseen, and thank You my Abba in the Name of Yeshua HaMashiach for persistence in fasting and that Yeshua is the Author and Finisher of our praise. Revelation 5:13 "Then I...

    Still fasting. The most difficult part (aside from getting sick and I felt a whole lot better after I added some fried eggs and some warmed up canned beans to my diet yesterday) of the fasting has been making the time to go into the prayer closet. Yet that time of prayer, I know, is the most...

    Still fasting. About a week left to go on the "official" fast. Today one of those "close moments" times. How quickly they can be forgotten. How elusive they are. Even now I am forgetting. But I know I saw/felt a realm of love one can dwell in, right here on earth, that is so totally...

    Still fasting...although...any folk out there wanting to go on a very strenuous fast (and I didn't even think mine was that strenuous) be verrrry careful. The doctor had mentioned that I seemed to maybe be anemic. I have not gotten the blood test results back, but taking more iron improved my...

    Still fasting, but I know this must be a fast for life, in most parts of it. It's kind of like I would be dumb to go on a fast from all junk food, then decide to go ahead and start eating transfatty acids and refined "pseudo foods" again - would not be smart. Without the Lord I would be that...

    Still fasting. Definitely can say I am feeling closer to the Lord Yeshua, though there is so much more, I know. Blessed be Thou O El Shaddai, Creator and Ruler of all that is, seen and unseen, and thank You my Abba in the Name of Yeshua HaMashiach for the progress in fasting and in loving...
