I hate to ask, and if this is out of bounds - please delete..

Some will know me from the many years of participating here, others won't... but I'm really struggling health-wise this year, sadly suffering multiple post-Covid complications.

If you could please pray for me, that God would either heal me or take me home, I would appreciate it..

if it is a choice, would prefer healing, so much more I would like to do, but am ready to go home, too..

Thx
Dominic

    Getting older has its opportunities: pleasant is knowing fewer days remain in human tent before worshipping Holy God in Glory [:D]

    Praying. From your profile, I see that you are only 53. Too young to go home yet, I think. I pray that God will heal you and give you the resilience to get through the complications one by one as they fall by the wayside, and if any challenges remain long-term, such as fatigue, that they would be bearable with an extra abundance of grace and courage that you would be granted.

    Definitely appropriate in the forums. You'll be in our prayers - that God in wisdom does what is best for you.

    It is a needed reminder for those of us for whom Covid amounted to an inconvenient bump in the road, that it isn't that way for many.

    Dominic, you're not alone; Love's got you. Nothing can separate you from this Love. Your FL family is praying for you. Make your request known to your whole family as wide and as broad as it may be. 

    Most of all pray to Jesus the Christ of God. He is our life, health and strength when we are weak through Him we are strong. God will get the glory from this. Praise Him in advance you're more than a conqueror through Christ who strengthens you. Amen.

    Meanwhile, Jesus kept on growing wiser and more mature, and in favor with God and his fellow man.

    Dear Dominic,

    My wife and I have just come through a bout with Covid. NOT A PLEASANT EXPERIENCE! We both tested negative this week and yet the effects linger. No need to tell you as I'm sure you're experiencing the same, but worse.

    It sounds like it's hitting you pretty hard. I wish I could do something - wave a magic wand and all would be good, but unfortunately, that doesn't work. So you'll have to ride it out.

    I'm sure you're doing all the 'right' things. Taking vitamins, drinking plenty of lemon water and keeping your 'chin up.' Not a pleasant time. 

    To be honest Dominic, I'd like to say that I'll be praying for you, but I'm not sure that will help. It's just one of those things this side of Glory that we all have to go through - whether it's Covid or something else. However, you are and will be on my mind.

    Chin up brother, you're in our thoughts!

    mm.

    Thank you all, sadly my general health trend seems to be on a downward trajectory, however.. your prayers are greatly appreciated

    This world is not my home, 
    I am just passing through
    But in the the midst of uncertainty
    Lord my life belongs to you,
    Whatever the future holds
    That Is all right with me
    Whether that is healing
    Or coming to set me free.

    Just prayed for you, Dominic! So glad the Lord has you in His hands, as you go through this difficult time. Hang in there and may the Lord continue to minister to you, as only He can.

    How are you feeling now? If you're still struggling, I counsel you to visit with your PCP (Primary Care Physician) to discuss the possibility of Paxlovid therapy for Long COVID symptoms. There is some evidence that this can be effective for those who have not completely cleared the virus.

    The evidence for this is still in its early stages as studies for this population are still limited. But, you can discuss risk versus benefit with your physician. I pray this information will benefit you.

    Update: 10/05/2023

    Well, good news in that my x-ray anomaly result came back as non-cancerous after my CT scan HALLELUJAH!


    The caveat is my doctor still can't answer the question of what the cause/root needing dealt with so not really any further forward, except ruling out the big C.. more bloods taken for tests today, and more specialist referrals.. but a load lifted, thanks for your prayers
