Allergies could definitely cause the drainage down your throat, fluid in ears & itchy eyes. I'm not sure about ear swelling. I have a dog whose ears swell because of allergies but I don't know if it happens to people. Get the allergist to do allergy testing & find out & then you can take the...

Yes, please go see your pastor. Mine gave us some money thru the church to see a Christian marriage counselor. If nothing else, he can pray with you. Don't give up on your marriage though. My husband & I had severe problems for 3 1/2 years & it looked like we were headed straight for divorce &...

When my husband & I were having problems we found that we talked better by email or text than in person, that way we didn't get so upset. So maybe you could try that. It also helps to find Scriptures that go along with your problems & make you feel better about them & then write them on index...

I also posted this under the depression forum. I need all the prayers I can get. I suffer with OCD, panic disorder & depression. As a child I had severe allergies & then a 30-year addiction to nasal spray, all of which gave me an intense phobia of not being able to breathe through my nose. Two...

I too have had sleep paralysis but mainly if I nap during the day. It's the kind with the scary hallucinations. There is also some evidence that sleeping on your back makes it more likely so you might try propping pillows behind you so you can't roll over. It also runs in families. My mom used...

I am still having pain & congestion from sinusitis & because of my OCD & panic disorder it is causing me overwhelming fear of never being well again. I've been on meds since Friday & feel pretty much the same with just occasional relief. I have always had intense fear of not breathing through my...

Hope you're feeling better. I know the Lord promises to "daily bear our burdens" but sometimes it's so hard to let Him! We all suffer sometimes from worrying about things ourselves instead of just letting Him do His work. Sometimes I don't even know how to hand it over to Him. Read your Bible as...

Bless your heart. You are under so much stress it's no wonder you feel so angry. I often get very angry when things are going really bad & there's nothing I can do to fix it. The only thing I know to tell you right at this moment is to claim the promise of Philippians 4:19, that God will supply...

Please don't do anything to hurt yourself. I too have felt this way many times, have wished the Lord would just go ahead & take me on. I even (a few times) despaired so much that I had thoughts of taking my life. Believe me, there are many of us on CF & all over the world who have felt what you...

Thanks everyone. Your prayers mean a lot to me. Still having problems but hoping for quick healing. Have an allergist appointment on Friday so if it hasn't cleared up by then maybe he can do something else for me, but mainly my hope is in the Lord because He is the Great Physician! I believe the...

Thanks so much for prayers. I am so panicky feeling. It was really bad last night & I cried a while & read my Bible & then my head cleared up & I was able to sleep for several hours. I think the meds I'm on contribute to the panic (prednisone & decongestants). I'm at work & having such a hard...

It could be an allergy as I used to have this problem with eating tomatoes. If I ate a tomato for several days in a row I got mouth ulcers. When the allergist did food testing on me I was slightly allergic to tomatoes (a 1 on a scale of 1-4) so the doc said I could eat them in moderation. In...

Birthdays can be hard. When I was growing up we didn't technically have birthdays in my household because we were so poor. My birthday was right after Christmas so it was pretty much ignored, which made it seem like a big deal to me to have a birthday because I really wanted somebody to pay...

Thanks for the prayers. I know this is a small problem compared to what so many people are suffering. My faith must be very small even though the Lord has done so many huge things in my life.

Normally through most of the year I am allergy free thanks to the allergy shots & meds that the Lord has provided for me. After horribly suffering for 38 years, He faithfully provided healing for me. However, in the fall I am still bothered. This is the 3rd year in a row that I am having...
