Folks, I am needing your prayers.

Been having issues and for 3 weeks was feeling really good, until Thanksgiving Day. I did a lot of cooking, as did the wife and others, but I think it was the stress of it all. Could feel it coming on Thanksgiving evening and it manifested itself just this morning after going to get my new APAP machine (like a CPAP). Not sure what triggered it, but I am looking forward to trying to wear this thing and start feeling better.

These anxiety attacks are right out of the pits of hell as far as I'm concerned.

Standing in the gap for you Bill.

Prayer for you to be touched by the Master Physician and also prayer for knowledge and wisdom for the doctors working with you. Anxiety and shortness of breath are terrible things.

Amen

My sister told me the ambulance crew thought my wife may have had anxiety but it was pneumonia. Not saying you have it but if you don't feel better, seeing the Doctor may not be the worst thing.

Big 10-4.

Early on during this virus ordeal my anxiety was through the roof. Took some minor meds in low dose form, but I only took them on a couple occasions trying to prevent a trip to the ER. Since then my anxiety has gotten much better and I’ve figured out on my own that my diet played a big part in it strangely enough. I still have my days...and those days I’m a nervous wreck it seems, but I take nothing, and rely on the good Lord above.

One thing that has helped is getting my mind off of me and worrying about me and praying for our frontline workers during all this mess.

Concentrating on others more and praying for them and helping those near me when I can and when they need it has been a big help.

Dedicated to all those suffering and to my friend Freetown Fred whose outlook on life is an awesome inspiration to me.

The king...singing about the KING...
