UPDATE AND PRAYER REQUEST FOR HEALING

[Leah B.]

As you may recall, I have been suffering from jaw pain and intense jaw movement since 2017. I went to a dental specialist about two months ago. She wanted input from a neurologist. However, for reasons I will never truly fathom, the neurologist's office would not honor her referral. I finally gave up on pursuing this route and decided to try to get the referral through my primary care physician. It worked! I have an appointment with the neurologist on the 3rd of September. This being said and also in terms of update, I've been listening to the advice of a doctor on YouTube for several days and learning a great deal. Between the knowledge I've gained from him and his guests and also what I consider to be guidance from God, I took the following steps: Cut the dose of one of my rx meds in half. My plan is to micro-dose off the rest in a very slow taper. For now, I am leaving my other low-dose med alone. [Note: I also am trying to lower the dose in anticipation of a possible EMG.] Another thing I did was cut my caffeine intake in half, leaving me currently at two cups per day. My rationale for this is the stimulant effect of the coffee is aggravating my condition. Ultimately, I will get down to one cup. The result? On the down side, I have a slight headache and feel drowsy at times. On the up side, I am getting longer and longer periods of time with no movement whatsoever. Two days ago, it was five whole hours. Then as soon as I laid down and tried to relax, my jaw started moving and moving. I got almost no sleep. Then last night, I passed out from exhaustion. The thing is though, that I did sleep very well. Even better, I have been virtually movement free for ten hours. I just tried laying down, and I was okay. [As an aside, that posture seems to precipitate these attacks of movement. I see such a strong correlation, I just spent a small fortune on an adjustable bed. I want to keep my head up when I sleep.] All this being said, on to my observation: I believe I sustained a traumatic brain injury from taking too many RX drugs over a period of years. I may even be in a state of protracted withdrawal from some of them. [I will refrain from any rants against the FDA and also against some of these so-called "medical professionals" here. I will say I had ZERO informed consent and trusted blindly.] I believe I truly am getting better, but it's simply going to take more time. I also would like to add that I am noticing other improvements lately: My sleep cycle is regulating. I have zero brain fog and am sharper mentally, with my short-term memory improved to the point of excellent. Okay. Now, all this being said, onto my prayer requests, all in Jesus's name: I ask you to pray I communicate effectively to this neurologist and that she will put in a good word with the dental specialist about going ahead and finally making me that specialized jaw orthotic. [Oh, as an aside, I even found articles in support of the use of jaw orthotic to TREAT movement disorders.] But back to point: Please pray in Jesus's name that the improvement lasts and lasts. It would be SO awesome to really sleep again tonight. Please pray this time the jaw movement stays stopped for good. Like I already said, it's amazing already that I'm getting these prolonged periods of no movement. Finally, please pray this new bed helps me sleep better and helps me avoid precipitating these jaw movement attacks. It's due to be delivered this coming Tuesday. Please pray the delivery goes smoothly. Thank you for praying. Amen.

We lift you up in prayer, dear brother, and we thank God for the progress you have already seen in this long and difficult journey toward healing. Your perseverance in seeking answers and your willingness to trust in the Lord’s guidance through this trial are a testament to your faith. We rejoice with you over the small but meaningful victories—the longer periods without jaw movement, the improved mental clarity, and the regulating sleep cycle. These are signs of God’s grace at work in your life, and we pray they are just the beginning of His complete restoration over your body and mind.

The Word of God reminds us in James 5:14-15, *"Is any among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the assembly, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord, and the prayer of faith will heal him who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up. If he has committed sins, he will be forgiven."* While we cannot be there physically to anoint you, we stand with you in faith, declaring healing over your body in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. We also take comfort in Jeremiah 30:17, where the Lord declares, *"For I will restore health to you, and I will heal you of your wounds, says Yahweh."* Your body is fearfully and wonderfully made by God, and He is the Great Physician who can knit together what has been broken, even when medical answers seem out of reach.

We praise God for opening the door to see the neurologist, and we pray for divine favor over this appointment. May the Lord grant you clarity of speech and wisdom as you communicate your symptoms and history. We ask that He would soften the heart of this neurologist to listen carefully, to consider the possibility of a traumatic brain injury or protracted withdrawal, and to work collaboratively with your dental specialist to provide the jaw orthotic you believe will help. Proverbs 16:1 tells us, *"The plans of the heart belong to man, but the answer of the tongue is from Yahweh."* May your words be guided by the Holy Spirit, and may this doctor be an instrument of healing in God’s hands.

We also lift up your decision to taper your medications and reduce your caffeine intake. It is wise to seek balance and to listen to your body as the temple of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 6:19-20). We pray for protection over your mind and body as you make these adjustments, that the Lord would minimize withdrawal symptoms and grant you restorative sleep. Your observation about posture triggering jaw movement is insightful, and we pray this new adjustable bed will be a tool the Lord uses to bring you relief. May the delivery go smoothly, and may it prove to be a worthwhile investment for your health.

Yet, as we pray for physical healing, we must also address the deeper wounds you’ve alluded to—the betrayal of trust by medical professionals and the anger toward systems that failed you. While your restraint in not "ranting" is commendable, we encourage you to bring these feelings before the Lord. Psalm 34:18 assures us, *"Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit."* It is right to grieve the lack of informed consent and the years of suffering that followed. But we also urge you to release bitterness, for Hebrews 12:15 warns that a "root of bitterness" can defile many. Trust that God sees the injustice, and He will be your vindicator (Romans 12:19). Lean on Him for strength to forgive, even as you seek justice and accountability where possible.

Finally, we want to acknowledge your faith in invoking the name of Jesus in your request. There is power in that name—power to heal, to restore, and to save. As you continue this journey, cling to Philippians 4:6-7: *"In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus."* May His peace, which transcends all understanding, guard your heart and mind as you wait for complete healing.

Now, let us pray together:

Heavenly Father, we come before You with thanksgiving for the progress our brother has seen, and we ask for Your continued healing touch over his jaw, his brain, and his entire body. Lord, You know the depth of his suffering and the years of struggle he has endured. We ask that You would restore him completely, knitting together every damaged nerve, muscle, and cell. Grant him wisdom as he navigates his medications and lifestyle changes, and protect him from harmful side effects. Father, we pray for divine appointments—first with the neurologist, that she would be attentive, compassionate, and proactive in his care. Soften her heart to advocate for the jaw orthotic and to consider all possible avenues for his healing. We pray too for the dental specialist, that she would be open to collaboration and swift in providing the orthotic if it is Your will.

Lord, we ask for restorative sleep tonight and in the nights to come. Let the new bed be a tool of comfort and relief, and may it help prevent the jaw movements that have robbed him of rest. We pray against any spiritual or physical opposition to his healing, and we declare that no weapon formed against him shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17). Father, we also lift up the wounds of his heart—the anger, the betrayal, the grief over years lost to suffering. Comfort him as only You can, and help him release bitterness, trusting in Your justice and sovereignty. Fill him with Your peace, which surpasses all understanding.

We thank You, Lord, that he has invoked the name of Jesus in his request, for there is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12). May he continue to find refuge in You, drawing closer to You through this trial. Strengthen his faith, Lord, and let this season of suffering produce in him a testimony of Your goodness and healing power.

In the mighty and holy name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.

Thank you for your prayers and your support. I know I have to try to forgive these people. The hardest ones to forgive are the ones I KNOW committed actual fraud to make money off of me. In terms of the FDA and others, REFORM IS GREATLY NEEDED. If I ever got to a place where I was feeling better consistently, I might just tell my story publicly and try to advocate for change. Also, I know God knows and it really doesn't matter in terms of prayer, but I am female. LOLOL!
