> real bad sleep problem for years and years but primarily in the last year.
> My sleep was nothing for so long that I became quite mentally unwell, or
> that's what it would seem, and I went through all sorts of peculiar neuro
> problems, showing themselves in a sort of form of mini stroke and
> sometimes I would clearly be on auto pilot, talking and having coffee and
> knowing nothing about it. Finally, with increased meds, I became more and
> more sleepy but felt unwell, so we decided I'd come off them all! I got
> almost down and had a horrific reaction with awful nightmares etc and
> depression/doom and gloom which I've not known before. My GP is still
> talking about being off the meds in the next month and maybe we'll try
> Melatonin. (Medication and I just don't seem to mix these days!)
>
> Anyway, amidst all this, I try to keep going and, I have to say that the
> fact that I am still in my home and appear fine a lot of the time to some
> at least of our callers is a testimony of God's goodness to me. However,
> I'm also battling with additional physical problems, including a very
> painful arm and muscle damage over some months, a pretty wrecked shoulder,
> a back that never goes away and legs now that are taking a lot of the pain
> from my back. In addition I've been having some arthritis in my wrists
> and thumbs.
>
> Now your thoughts and prayers: I've been asked to play the piano at a
> wedding in three weeks' time. I used to play a lot until 15 years ago and
> have had little opportunity since that time. (I only have a small
> electronic piano which is fairly hard to play so don't find I even play
> around on it too much.) Anyway, I have been practising on and off but
> keep ending up with very stiff wrists and pains and yesterday just
> couldn't play through the items. I am really wondering whether I'm to
> pull out of this one. I know others who are going who are far better
> pianists than I am, but it's not because I won't play in front of them
> that I'm thinking I should pull out. I need my wrists and hands for
> reading, writing etc. and these seem more important to me right now than
> playing the piano when others could do it, even though the bride and
> groom, for some unknown reason, are very keen that I should do it.
>
> My thoughts and feelings are all over the place in this one, sometimes
> thinking I can and should and at others feeling it's just another thing I
> can't do right now.
>
> With three weeks to go, I either have to pull out for good next weekend or
> go ahead. The current pains and stiffnesss in my wrists and thumbs have
> really knocked me back over the past couple of days to the point where I
> am getting very stressed about it all.
>
> Please stand with me in this, that I will do what He wants and, even more
> important, that I will know just what that is.
