Why Many Times Even When You Try and Pray Does Health Not Improve?

My mother had the same symptoms as you. The diet greatly affect the blood sugar. If the blood sugar can be scaled so your leg will be fine. Struggling and trying is paramount. Do not wait for the miracles that is not certain. It will actually reduce your belief in God.

I would wonder if the wound center doesn't really have any answers as to whether the medications are causing you the problems or if it is something else. They just don't have all the answers. Sometimes it must be very frustrating for you and for the medical foundation.

Maybe you need to let go of any anger or frustration or blame or arguments. Maybe it's your outlook or attitude that need to heal before your wound. Maybe you have to let go of your expectations of God healing you and see what there is that you can do for God. Peace be with you friend.

Hi Tina! Its been a long time since we've talked, and I am dismayed that you are still dealing with that leg wound. I know from your other discussion that you are probably sick of all the advice that you have gotten about your case, but as long as you've been having problems with that wound, I think you need to get a few more suggestions about it from other doctors. I know that I'm not a medical professional, but it seems there has to be some sort of balance between your diabetic diet, the fibromyalgia medication, and that wound healing up. Maybe you should try another wound center or see if your primary care physician can give you a referral to a specialist? I am still praying for your health, and hope that things will get better for you soon.

If you are on a lot of medications, it could interfere with healing. Are you getting all the nutrition that might be needed? I wonder if there is some natural healing method that could be used instead of depending on medical interventions only. Not to say that prayer won't help, but sometimes it is not enough. I hope you got your miracle at some point before I saw this because it is not a good thing to have open sores for that long!

I don't think it's exclusive to health. Even financial concerns are the same way too. Even though you try and pray your hardest, it's at a standstill. Sometimes it even gets worse. Maybe it would take other people (even strangers) praying for you, to help make it improve. So, even though I am a few days late, I will send prayers your way!

Hi Tina, I am sorry to hear of your plight. I have found that putting my awareness and focus where pain is, helps me to transcend it. After my heart attack 5 years ago, I was put on statins and other medication that caused muscle pain. As you may already know I am a Zen practitioner and practice daily meditation. The aim of the meditation is total focus and stilling the mind in the present moment, which in itself is very good. When it comes to pain, I focus strongly ino the core of the painful area and keep opening myself up more and more to what is going on there. At first it seems to get more intense, but then recedes. In my experience, I believe that awareness enhances our experience of transcending pain and may even enhance the healing process. Whilst it is not a cure, it has enabled me to quit using pain-killers that were getting less and less effective. It is not easy, but in my mind, I thought... well nothing else has helped me feel more comfortable, and fighting pain is only making things worse, so I may as weel totally accept it. I thought I would share that with you as it may help you manage your pain better with your mind.. I hope things improve for you soon. _Derek

We'll all get together and continue to say more prayers that there is resolution to the wound problem. I know how frustrating it must be! I haven't been in that type of situation with the exception of being in pain most of the time with my leg and the arthritis....it certainly does get old!

Perhaps you are putting too much energy into thinking and praying about your leg. That worry, that negative energy will surely delay your healing. Rather than worrying about it, do what you know you should do to care for it and put it out of your mind as much as possible. Pray not for yourself but concentrate on what others need and pray for them. Thank God for all the wonderful people in your life and all your blessings--your warm home, loving husband, enough to eat, the talents He has given you. When you do think of your illness, spent a couple of minutes several times a day visualizing your leg as healed. Replace your negative thoughts with positive ones. I guarantee it won't hurt and it will probably speed your healing.

Prayers are always answered, it's the answers we have trouble with. You need to find out what your situation is telling you. If it were me I would take my body off all medications, these may treat one symption often poison the rest. Your poor body is trying so hard to tell you what it needs and you can't seem to hear it. This is not at all unusual, especially dealing with Western Medicine. My daughter and I have been swept into this cycle for many years and what finally helped was Chinese medicine, a holistic diet and yoga. I have also used tapping for painful conditions, to really help it must be used often and regularly. I pray the you will find some answers in the new year. Blessings

Health has to do with doctors. Maybe you should see if you can seek another opinion. I understand your frustration, because there is also so much physical pain that is so hard to bear. But do remember the words of Jesus: "Thy will be done". We can pray with faith, but we don´t know the answers.

I cannot say that I understand your particular situation because I am not the one living it! But I do understand the questions from my point of view. REgretfully, I have no answers! lol! But I have had tons of questions like yours when I think of my son and the situation I deal with daily. He is slowly progressing,, but it is very slow. i am learning that faith has lesst to do with getting the answers we want and more to do with standing when trials are apparent. Hope you get better soon, and I hope you get good news from the wound center.

Hi Tina, Why do they say it is your fault that your wounds are not healing? What is it that they say you either are or aren’t doing right? There has got to be some rationale for what they are saying to you. Are you overweight? Are they saying it is your weight doing this? The thing about diabetes, as you know, it is very hard to lose weight when you are insulin resistant. You can’t get the nutrients to the cells and the cells die. It’s true that weight loss can and does stop the stasis ulcers… You don’t look overweight to me, in your picture… so I’m just asking. But here, you have something else to think about, that you have already mentioned. The medications. Some of your meds may be keeping your blood sugar high or keeping you insulin resistant. All I know is to keep praying. God knows all about this. God doesn’t always intervene… who knows why? I don’t. I will continue to pray. I had put you on my friend’s prayer list who is a minister. I will continue to ask her to pray for you also. I think your stress level might have something to do with all this too. You are still stressed out on the job? I hope that is going better lately.

hi, may i suggest in addition to the medication you are taking right now, also take this, vit. C, vit. E, fish oil, and centrum., pls consult your doctor. I suggest a company kirkland. And continue to eat right and trust GOD more! Gud luck!

I hope your leg get the cure it needs is it possible to reduce the dosage for the other medication you take for Fibromyalgia because it might help heal the leg faster not sure if this is a good idea though I'm just wondering

Because sometimes the answer to a prayer is "no".

My suggestion is go see another specialist for your leg. Just tell your doctor this. Maybe he will reconsider and help you more! I also will suggest you try getting on social security. There are doctors out there that will do it! With your health problems I still think it is the way to go! I am sure that is what God is trying to tell you!
