I’ve always tried to be stoic. This summer was a tough one. I was diagnosed with a lifelong vestibular disorder called Ménière’s disease. It causes vertigo, hearing loss, tinnitus, a feeling of fullness in the ear. It also comes with frequent acute attacks of vertigo that are so bad that you can’t even crawl, vomiting, ceiling spinning vertigo and nystagmus. My last acute attack was 8 hours and took 5 plus days to fully recover both physically and emotionally. At one point this summer I lost half my hearing in my left ear. It’s definitely been difficult to remain stoic. I’ve had to go on a low inflammation diet, very low sodium and sugar, no caffeine or alcohol. My uncle told me that it’s all part of God’s plan for me. I’m not sure that I can believe in a god that makes these kinds of plans for people. I always struggled with that kind of faith anyway. It’s difficult to understand why these things happen to us.
@@2141USMC thank you for sharing. I don’t have all of the answers, I have come to realize there are a lot of things we are not supposed to understand, we can just choose to accept the situation or not. If something is outside of our control we can surrender to it, if we want to make the most of it. I don’t know why some people have challenges that are perceived as much greater than others challenges…I’m still learning and growing. Peace to you and I hope you are able to receive grace in your situation.
@@QuakeChallenge I have a funny memory from high school. Class S state championship game against Derryfield school. Everyone saw Jesus on the field. Everyone but me. I always wondered if there something wrong with me. I knew there wasn’t. I don’t know if I just felt left out but it was a turning point in my faith. I’m not sure the universe or god have any plans for me. Life is tough. You have to make the best of it. I had a lot of plans before this. There were days I thought I couldn’t even work anymore. That it would be impossible to support my family because I was so sick. I’ve managed to get things under control with diet and steroid injections into my eardrum. I have to stay positive because stress and fatigue cause inflammation and trigger acute vertigo attacks and start the whole cycle over. The steroids gave me most of my hearing back. There’s that!
@@2141USMC I don’t think I saw Jesus on the field, or I don’t recall…it’s been a challenge to be able to get back to church after almost 30 years away, and I would never look down on anyone that doesn’t attend or label themselves,…I try not to label myself as anything. Glad you are doing better. I’m about to try the Wim Hof Method for some of my own health challenges, I am allowing the Iceman to speak some healing wisdom for me!😁🩵
