No Clue Right Now
I finally got my stimulator adjusted yesterday for the first time in 17 months. I was very excited for this appointment and very optimistic headed back home. The lady who has always made my adjustments for the past six years retired. So, instead of a veteran adjuster I had a very nice young lady who’s only been doing this for 8 months.
Unfortunately, I’m not their normal patient they all tell me. My nerve damage is very extensive and my nerves are very sensitive compared to most. This lady adjusted things best she knew how in hopes I could get the most extensive coverage throughout my body. Well, 5-6 hours after my adjustment my nerves were fried beyond what I’ve ever experienced. My body was vibrating intensely as if my legs could have exploded. So, I had to immediately turn my stimulator off for a few hours.
Before I went to bed, I turned in on a much lower setting on the new program she created for me. Sadly, I woke up this morning with things still not working great. I’ve felt nauseous all morning and my feet are cramping. So, I’ve turned things off for just a short while as I try to determine what to do next.
Unfortunately, any time you get in no man’s land with these things there is no exact answer that comes easy. The only sure thing is your anxiety rises the longer you go without a clear solution. That cluelessness is not only on my end, but hers as well. All she could say is what I already knew “wow your nerves really are more sensitive than most.”
My prayer request is simple at this time. Pray that God would give me the discernment on what setting I should leave things on at this time. I have numerous settings and numbers to choose from with no idea where to start. All I know is my body needs this stimulation to be on and not over stimulating me.
I’m not in tremendous pain right now. However, I am very uncomfortable and on edge feeling. My skin throughout my body feels very prickly. My legs and feet still feel like they’re vibrating even with the unit off. All I can do is pray about it and try to find something that works consistently. I know God will work things out, but I don’t have a clue exactly what to do. To be continued…..
“Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:6-7
