Dear ladies, I need prayer NOW. I have had another episode like I did back in December. I was taking a bath and my skin started burning everywhere. My back and face and wrist were the worst. When I got out of the tub I looked like I had a horrible sunburn all over my back and arm and face.
The last time this happened I thought it was a reaction to a medical procedure where they gave me a local shot but I had blood work done last Wed and I doubt if it was a reaction to that. I won't be going swimming as planned and it feels a bit better. The last time I did this it was over two or three days and the burning and redness would last about 30 min and then it would be done.
I will see my pcp next Wed and I don't think he is going to have a clue. My prayer is that I could find the source of what is going on. Thank you.
Love,
Nancy

Father, I pray that you will heal Nancy of this terrible skin affliction right now. Remove her itchiness and redness, and give her relief. Please help her find the source so that she may avoid it in the future. Hold her tightly and give her peace. In your Holy Name.

Lord, we lift our sister, Nancy, up to You now and ask that You relieve her discomfort. Grant the doctors wisdom to correctly diagnose it so it may be prevented in the future. Take away the burning and replace it with Your healing balm of comfort. Thank You for Your loving care for her. Amen

You Are The Potter
You are the potter, Oh Lord
We are the clay.
Mold us and make us
More like You every day.
Make us be patient,
Generous, loving, and kind.
Sow seeds in our hearts
Of Your Nature Divine.
Fashion us to be obedient
And follow Your Holy will.
Teach us to willingly receive
The gifts that You instill.
Help us to fulfill our purpose
On our earthly journey as we roam,
So that we can remain forever
With You in Your heavenly home.

Thank you ladies for your prayers. I really appreciate them. I don't have high hopes that any doctor will be able to figure this out. This time in some ways it was worse and in some ways better than back in Dec. when it happened. It affected much of my body this time and the burning sensation seemed worse. I didn't have chest pain and a fast heart rate which goofed up my thyroid production and it took a long time to even out last time. Hopefully it has not done that again. I think it is possibly a reaction to a toxin or an allergic reaction. Either one of those things could be going down a path of no return.
I have basically laid around all day and done nothing just to be sure nothing else was going to happen. I am highly sensitive to many things but I have never done anything like this until Dec.
I would appreciate your continued prayers as I think this could be a very difficult situation to pin down.
Have a good evening dear sisters.
Love,
Nancy

Dear Jesus please heal Nancy and reveal the source of this reaction. Love, Jean

I have had some of those issues in the past Bandwoman - It seemed to happen after radiation. Any time it warms up and the showers would make it worse. Also if your faucet or shower head has any mold spores, it can irritate. We are blessed with good well water here, but in cities they put additives like chlorine in the water. I have to use all unscented soaps and shampoos or I will break into a rash.
Dear Lord, I pray Bandwoman finds the source of her irratation. Please calm down the rash and I ask for you to open the doctors eyes and brain to solve this problem for her..... Amen.

Nancy, you have been in my prayers since I first read of your awful episode. I posted a prayer last night and somehow I just noticed it's not there but I wanted you toknow I've been praying. Joanne has some very good questions for you to think about. I will continue to pray for you to have an answer and no repeat of that episode.
Faith (in the future).

Expections
A babbling brook, a chirping bird,
A note of music yet to be hears.
Some say; " There is no God!"
A drop of rain, a falling leaf,
Children playing make believe.
Some say: " There is no God!"
A clear blue sky, a brilliant star,
A tiny moonbeam shining far.
Some say " There is no God!"
A laughing Child, as unshed tear,
The memory of a bygone year.
Some say: " There is no God!"
A soothing hand, a gentle sigh,
The Gates of Heaven, see them nigh.
Behold: Our God!

My Master walks beside me
Each day the whole year through.
He is the light that guides me
In every thing I do.
He's with me in the midst of roses
And with me in the midst of thorns;
He's with me in the sunshine
And with me through the storm.
In every changing season
His blessing come my way.
My special thanks I offer Him
Each and every day. God be with You, as He loves You soooooooooooo much!

Thank you all for your prayers and suggestions. This was not a rash but just bright red covering about 75% of my whole body. Since it happened in Dec as well that gives me some clues and possibly rules out others. I really highly doubt that any doctor is going to figure it out. I think it is going to be trial and error on my part to see if I can figure it out.
I do know my AI has magnified many things in my body and I will be on that for until the end of July 2019 unless my bone density scan coming soon shows bad things.
I have not done too much since this happened. I had an apt yesterday which I made. I am resuming swimming today and am praying nothing bad happens from the chlorine.
I have fibromyalgia and that is a whole set up things right there and could be related. I am putting on my Nancy Drew hat (for those old enough to know those books) and see what I can figure out.
Lisa, how are you doing?
Faith it is good to hear from you. How are you doing?
Debbie, thanks for reminding me that God is with us through the thorns.
Praying for you dear ladies.
Love,
Nancy

My Prayer
Lord, with earnest heart I pray,
Guide me, hold me, one more day.
With Your loving hand in mine,
Make me whole and pure and fine.
Along the road I walk today,
Guide my path and show the way.
Cleanse me now and make me whole--
Whole in body mind and soul.
Always, God I pray to thee;
Help me Lord, and walk with me.
The path is long, the road is steep--
I stumble, fall and often weep.
Help me to rise and walk today
With Your hope and love, that comes my way.
In all I do and all I see,
I feel Your presence there with me.
Lord, my God please guide my way.
Walk beside me every day. I love You Lord Amen
By Edna and some words changed

Isaiah 40:29-31 New International Version (NIV)
29 He gives strength to the weary
and increases the power of the weak.
30 Even youths grow tired and weary,
and young men stumble and fall;
31 but those who hope in the Lord
will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles;
they will run and not grow weary,they will walk and not be faint.

I am praying for all of you.
Lamentations 3:22-26 New International Version (NIV)
22 Because of the Lord's great love we are not consumed,
for his compassions never fail.
23 They are new every morning;
great is your faithfulness.
24 I say to myself, "The Lord is my portion;
therefore I will wait for him."25 The Lord is good to those whose hope is in him,
to the one who seeks him;
26 it is good to wait quietly
for the salvation of the Lord.0 -

My Hand In His
When life is bright and sunny
Or when the sky is gray,
It comforts me to know my God
Is never far away.
I cannot go beyond His reach
No matter where I roam.
I'm safely held in His care,
Away or here at home.
My hands secure in His each day,
I follow where He leads;
He knows the way and I'm assured
He will supply my needs.
When I must journey on from here,
I will not go alone;
He who safely guides will lead me
To my Heavenly Home

Solutions
When we have a problem
The solutions is at hand,
We can take it to the Master
For He'll always understand.....
The answer may be different
Than what we've planned or sought,
But in God's great wisdom
Some lessons have been wrought..
So we'll keep on praying,
Asking guidance on the way,
Knowing God will lead us
To the solutions right each day.

Praying for you all..Nancy, I'm adding you to our ladies bible study this week..I remember how hard a time you had with your skin infections last winter..Lita, I'm glad your platelets are back up, and praying few SE's for you and of course, good response to your chemo regimen..and strength for your bone concerns too!
GMA..I think we've "met" on another forum..Sorry, my memory is like swiss cheese anymore..Yesterday I sat waiting for my radiation for five minutes when I realized I had forgotten to sign in when I got there, so I had to get my shirt back on and go back up front and do it ! I am 52 but MBC has made me feel more like 82 sometimes!
Lovely hand-crafted dolls, GMA and Faith.. Wow!
I have the rest of this week and then two more weeks left on radiation. I had to be admitted into the hospital two weeks ago for two nights due to painful ovarian cysts that ruptured..My RO sent me to the ER when I came in for radiation but could not stop folding over in pain..then they found an enlarged lymph node in the pelvic area..but after keeping me one extra day in hospital..they decided it was not too much to worry about after all, Praise the Lord!
Ade..So nice to see your DH busy in the yard..It is finally acting like springtime here in Michigan!
I've just realized I used a LOT of exclamations (!) in this post, lol!
I guess I'm just so happy to be here and happy to be able to pray and give praise to our wonderful Lord today!!!

Ade, I applaud your ability to watch 3 grandchildren and for 6 days! I watch my one 2-year-old granddaughter for one day once in a while and am always thankful it is only one day at a time. I will watch her late this morning through this evening and also take her with my DH and I out to dinner to be with some dear friends. This will be an adventure I am sure!
Neverforsaken, I am sorry to hear of your additional struggles. It is tough enough to deal with the SE's from the meds alone. You are in my prayers.

Hi dear ladies,
Ade, I applaud you and James for all the days of babysitting. When I was teaching I would come home exhausted most days. If I had to deal with those students 24/7 I would have a hard time with that. I have been praying for you and James and will continue to pray and for your unspoken request as well.
Chris, praying you will have strength to deal with your little 2 yr old as you go through the day and out to eat. I can imagine how challenging that is.
Lisa, I have been praying for you and wondering how you were doing. I am so sorry to hear about your ovarian cysts and your hospital stay. I am glad that it turned out to be nothing serious but I am sure going through it felt like a huge deal. You are going to be done with rads before you know it. Hang in there. I know your long drive to and from can't be easy either. Thanks for adding me to your prayer list with your Bible study. I am actually doing fine now but not knowing what has caused this is a bit unnerving. Even though the burning this time was on a much bigger area of my body it did not goof up my thyroid like last time. I guess my prayer request would be to find the source of this problem.
Lita, how are you doing with the SE's?
Faith, how are you feeling? This crazy weather has sure been a ride. I think we went from winter to summer in a matter of days.
Jean, how are your treatments coming along?
Debbie, thank you for your encouraging posts. Praying for your needs.
Joanne needs prayer as well.
Take care dear sisters. You know I pray for all of you regularly.
Love,
Nancy
