I have so much to be joyful about. Listening to sweet early morning songs from the birds outside our windows is such a delight. I miss this symphony in the winter months. The miracle of walking again without pain just awaits our Lord and Savior's blessing. New hope comes from the medicated gel that I apply to my feet and knees twice a day. I call this gel my "Hope in a Jar." I have used it for almost 60 days and I am thankful that I can now wear light weight socks without applying the 100% pure shea butter. Miracle of miracles! I cannot walk for a long time though in socks, in the sun, or on hot days outside. Baby steps.
A local owner of an apothecary shop is taking interest in my plight. He thinks that he can tweek my "Hope in a Jar" formula by doubling the pain meds. in it, and ultimately increase my mobility. We had an one hour phone interview yesterday and he learned alot about Erythromelalgia, a disease he had never heard of before meeting me. He even went to the Erythromelalgia web site (TEA) and read about its symptoms. Just listening to him describe the different actions he could take to help me bouyed my spirits. He is making a small amount of the new 'Hope in a Jar" for me to try and if it doesn't give me relief then he can try some other topical medication. I am puttting on hold my pain management course of action until he has exhausted his resources.
I told him that knee pain was of primary concern as I cannot wear normal clothes like dresses, skirts, and pants. God granting this man the means to create a gel that will take away the pain in my knees will be one BIG MIRACLE. I know that HE so is up to it, just do not know if it is time yet. It's not my time that is important and I am patient in my waiting. It's been two years since I have worn linen, rayon, or silk clothing and the sandals on my feet are wearing thin, but I know that God is in control not me. I am praying fervantly that the new gel will be a benefit and not harm me. There is always the possibility that it is too strong a formula, but I am not dwelling on the negatives. Dear Heavenly Father please bless the new "Hope in a Jar" formula from the local apothecary. Please give the new gel power to numb the nerve pain in my knees and also in my feet if that isn't asking too much.
