Kathy,
Have they checked your thyroid? Hypo and Hyper Thyroid can do weird stuff,
part of which is blood pressure issues, weight gain, fatigue etc.

Hey Phil,
I really appreciate this testimony. I'm finding myself having to
begin with a medical issue of my own that has really caught me off
guard. When I went in for my annual check up about three weeks ago, my
blood pressure was a little high. I was asked to keep coming in for
checks and, basically, it is bounsing around. Yesterday, I had another
exam and it was really high, to the point of scary. As they were asking
me questions, I lead a pretty healthy life, I don't drink soft drinks, or
much junk food and I walk about three miles a day, so there isn't much I
can do, but take more blood tests and continue to work on losing weight,
which I hope will help, but now, it looks like I will have to be using a
blood pressure medication. I've always dreaded the day when I would have
to start taking drugs to stay, "normal," whatever that is. Since I deal
with a lot of older people who seem to practically take drug cocktales, it
doesn't look pleasant. I had always figured that that day, of drugs, was
a long way off for me. Thanks for the reminder of Jesus. Of course, I
know that, but it is nice to here it out loud, from someone else.
Kathy whose hoping that I won't need to be on it for long

Virgie,
That's great. Years ago I suddenly became ill. I felt like I was getting
the stomach flue. I finally went into the bathroom to up chuck and there
on
my knees, starting to heave, as it were, I called out loudly,
"Jesus!" That
was the only thing I could speak at that second. I suddenly felt my
stomach
settle and nothing happened, that is, I didn't vomit. I went back out of
my
office to work and for an hour, a voice in my thoughts, sort of, kept
saying, it won't last. I kept rebuking that voice and claiming I was
healed
by the stripes of Jesus. Within an hour, I never had any more
symptoms. No
one can tell me that just the name of Jesus doesn't work. Sure, I have
been
sick hundreds of times since that day, not to mention even things in
recent
weeks with my back. I still seek Jesus in each situation, though, and
maybe
tomorrow, I will post to the list what happened concerning my back pain
when
I began to amend Wednesday. It is quite miraculous. Something
spiritually
unusual happened to me during these weeks of perpetual back pain that I'll
tell about later.
Phil.
