If I had to choose a figure of the bible that I wanted to meet : the Queen of Sheba. Since she is mentioned as having visited Salomon, I can choose her

I'm a Pioneer Married To a Wonderful Brother Reaching Out to be an MS...

by cognac in

and petrified... i just recently became a pioneer and always had nagging questions in the back of my mind.

so, i decided that when i have get a study i would research all the questions as i go along so as to prove everything in the truth... i got 4 studies in about 2 months.

all was fine, until i reached i think chapter 6 in the bible teach book about the resurrection.

Now, I don't know what to do. It's just everything I ever believed has crumbled right before me and I have not the slightest clue of what to do.

You will find that most of us have had the same feeling. Welcome to the board, you will find lots of support and answers here.

For now... breathe, just breathe. I know this can feel as if the building blocks of your life are falling - but it will be okay, you will be okay. You can ask any question here, and many will be able to answer with scriptures etc (or you can search for topics regarding your questions). Also, a lot of people are in similar situations as you (married to a brother or sister, pioneer or MS), so know that you are not alone.

You will survive this, take the word of one who has been there for it. For later, if you are up to it, you might try the book "Crisis of Conscience" ... it answers a lot of questions. http://www.amazon.com/Crisis-Conscience-Raymond-Franz/dp/0914675044

Little fun game

by JH in

i was googling "multitasking test" and found this....but the instructions are in german, so i used bable fish translation to translate the first sentence, and it says to click and hold on the red square, and try to move it around without the other pieces touching it..... i didn't try to translate the rest, i'm to lazy.

.

let's see how long you can go without any pieces touching the red square.. http://www.pamela.abraxxs.com/multitaskingtest.htm.

I am having a bad day

by Vivamus in

it is wearing me down.. my constant companion in life, my skull-breaking- mind-blowing- daily migraines finally got the better off me six months ago.

i broke down, i cried and cried and cried.

not only cuz of the pain, but more for the fact that painkillers were not helping me anymore.

Vivamus

Again, I want to thank you all for your kind words, hugs and advice. Since my post, my headaches have been constant (about a 5 on a scale of 1 to 10) with only two really bad episodes. However, painmedication is not really working, which annoys the hell outta me when I think positive and makes me want to bang my head against the wall when I think negative, lol.

My employers doctor judged me unfit for work last week (I see him every 6 weeks) and that visit to him marked the six months of sitting at home. My therapists still swears that the headaches will go away once I have completed therapy. Whether I believe her or not, I do believe its good for me to go to her, since I have blocked situations in my past from memory.

For the tips and tricks regarding medication, I will make a doctors appointment tomorrow to discuss posibilities.

Odrade, i (literally) feel your pain.

Your list of solutios made me giggle. My newest stepmother is the kind that drives me nuts with desire to slap her ... lol. Her solution to migraine is *just don't think about it*. That not thinking about it, works for a mild headache. A migraine is all-consuming. Every fibre of your body resonates with this pain, you cannot bear sounds, light, touch. When having a migraine - you are pain itself. Its useless explaining it, if a person never had it - it's impossible to understand.

I use the triptans too (Maxalt). When I use them it's a choice to make. The pills make me sick, and kinda postpone the migraine, or lengthens the duration of it. Usually (if) I take a triptan, and 5 hours later take a dose combination of codeine, asperine and coffeine. After another hour I will take another dose of that, and maybe another. By this time I realise fully well it might kill me, but I just don't care - anything is better than having to live through/with that pain. When I have a migraine alcohol is a no-no. But with a severe headache I might take the combo pills, and two glasses of wine or something. Dangerous, but the alcohol enhanches the pills - no pain. So severe an episode happens once a week for me if I take it easy. This week I had one for 4 out of 7 days, hence my desperate post.

I think it hard for people to understand that an episode can be so severe that the dangers of pills is a small price indeed - just like Odrade says.

Gill, thanx for the tip, Seawolf mentioned the same to me, and it definatly is worth looking into.
