Listening to theVoice of the Holy Spirit


I have always  felt that being on any type of medication that effects the neurological system is a big gamble too say the least, I know there is a time and place for these types of medications and I'm not saying they don't have uses, but this is my individual story with them. When my neurologist began suggesting these type of medications too help with migraines that have been troubling me for some time. This was to be a medication that was too be added to my regular regimen. Although I was very apprehensive about it, I gave into it and began taking it. Once the medication got into my system I became very irritated and snappy with my whole family, I called in and told of the side effect I was experiencing. They changed to a sister medication that was "suppose" to be better and have less side effects and I was to begin it right away and stop the other right away. I did as I was directed and after taking the new medication  for some time I noticed that I was sleeping more and more throughout the day. I felt sad and down. I was crying more and more. I felt useless and hopeless. I was feeling symptoms of depression and I'm not depressed. I prayed and I felt God urging me to stop taking the medication so I began lowering the dose. 

The side effects on the medications can be thoughts of suicide and depression. I feel better now , I have maybe a week left and I should be off the medication. But I can tell you I feel more like myself already.

I don't want a bunch of hate mail or comments saying I am slamming antidepressants because I'm not, I know they have their place when needed. I am very leery how these type of medications are so widely prescribed with out a thought of the bad side effects that can be felt by people just like me that are so sensitive too medications.

Been dealing with a lot lately.......

My health has taken a hit, I have been suffering from migraines for a while now. It runs in my family and it's not just an every now and then migraine but chronic migraines. I have been seeing a doctor and we have been trying to figure out the right combination of medications to help me.

In the meantime..... I suffer from a migraine every 4 days. With symptoms on the 3rd day. I am taking a medication to prevent them but I have only started it and it has yet to work. I know we will have to raise to dosage until we find the right dosage for me. I also take imitrex when I get a migraine and thank God it works wonderfully.

I also put bio freeze across my forehead, I eat every 3 hours (or as close to it as possible). I limit junk and eat more natural foods. I drink tons of water. I am doing my part and praying for a healing.

I just wanted to let you all know why I have not been blogging.


God Bless,

Quick and Easy Messy Bun for Long Hair

I do not cut my hair so it's rather long,plus it's thick and naturally curly. One of these days I am going to have one of my children take some photos or video of my hair and have before and after shots of how God has blessed me and it has grown. Today I wanted to take a moment and show you a video of a young Apostolic lady putting her hair up in no time flat. So many people think we take hours on our hair to achieve some of the looks we pull off but this is just one of many video's to show you that we do not. : )



God Bless,
