    sickness and me

    I'm now on my second minor physical ailment since the first of the year, and this one is a doozy. The first day of it felt like my head was on fire. Ironically, dunking my head in cold water actually helped. I think my sinuses were just swollen and I don’t have the dreaded meningitis. Still...

    Schizophrenia is a neurological capitulation. My capitulation is from mind to memory.

    Hi there, So I worked out how to describe my schizophrenia in layman's terms: it is a capitulation. There are many ways to describe a capitulation, as there are many types of schizophrenia - the point being that knowing the particular kind of capitulation for what it is will help you relate to...

    Please Pray for my Sick Brother

    Hello everyone. Please pray for my brother. He is 25 and he has been suffering for years. He has severe GERD which makes him unable to eat properly, as well as thyroid problems. The GERD gives him chronic laryngitis, makes it hard for him to sleep, he is losing a lot of weight, and he...

    Hello all, I just wanted to ask for renewed prayer. My sickness is progressing and doctors still dont know what is going on with me.

    Hi all, a volunteer where I work told me this week that their ex partner's Mum, her children's Nan, has quite unexpectedly just been diagnosed with an illness and is, incredibly sadly, expected to live for around just one more week. Prayer around this would be really appreciated - that she will...

    Homebound - communion visit possible?

    Years ago when I was hospitalized, the pastor of the church (LCMS) I was a member of at that time brought communion to me there (he had a little "kit"). Recently, and for the unforeseen future, I am housebound due to illness. I desperately want to have the Lord's Supper, is this something I can...

    Unwell for the First Time in Ages

    I consider myself a relatively unhealthy person, but even so, I rarely am sick. I don't take care of myself (although I've been doing better) so you would think my immune system would be shot and I'd catch everything going around. But again, usually when a sickness "goes through" my family I...

    Trump Has Covid-19

    President Trump has been stricken with Covid-19. I heard that millions have prayed for him. When I prayed, I didn't ask God to heal President Trump. I begged God to heal him. Certain people hate Trump but he does not deserve to have the Coronavirus. Nobody does. I'm asking everybody who reads...

    Schizophrenia, in principle, is an extension of your personality. It can be trained.

    Hi there, So just a little insight I have managed to get, after all my years (17 years) of schizophrenia: Schizophrenia is in principle, an extension of our personality. It can be trained, and it can be mastered. By trained, I mean we can practice meditation to the point that our cortisol...
