Pain Management

Thank you for all the prayers. As most of you are aware I started Benlysta IV infusions this week. I did not seem to have any major side effects from that so that was good. We won't be able to tell if they are working for a couple of months. 


*Images is not mine*

However, my pain meds stopped working this week which resulted in my being in a great deal of pain to the point I was very shaky and sick to my stomach. The Dr. prescribed new meds that I wasn't really thrilled with, but was hoping for some pain relief at this point. This first day on them they still did not help at all. Although I am happy to report that after a few doses I can for sure say that the pain meds are helping manage the pain. I'm still in pain but it isn't anywhere near the levels I was at earlier this week. However, I'm really not happy to have to be relying on them at all... It is a huge praise though that something started working since I will be shooting a wedding this weekend. :-) 


1 Peter 5:10-11

New King James Version (NKJV)
10 But may[a] the God of all grace, who called us[b] to His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you. 11 To Him be the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen.
