Another prayer request

I know there are many prayer requests on here, but I was wondering if you could all pray for me.  I'm really struggling with my health, and though it's nothing serious like cancer, I find it hard.

I suffer from gastritis, which is like an ulcer.  I've had it for over a year, and my stomach isn't getting better.  I'm in a lot of pain right now as I write, and it's frustrating because I live on a bland foods diet and I'm really sick of it. (Nothing fatty, spicy, acidic, or gassy... which is 80% of stuff.)

This is on top of permanent injuries.  I have a herniated disc in my back, and the doctors said there is no hope of it healing.  I also have arthritis in my hip after a childhood sports injury, and my only option there is surgery.  I'm in constant pain sitting down all day at work.

I've seen so many doctors and specialists, and I've done all they have told me.  But I'm not getting better.  I sometimes get depressed and bitter that at 26 years old, I'm living like a 60 year old.  I guess I need a miracle to get better at this point...

Thanks for your prayers.

    Definitely will, GJones!!! :-)  I don't mind adding you to the list.  You ladies on here are so special to me, and I believe God has put you in our lives to help support and encourage, so don't feel like you're adding to the prayer requests in a bad way, you're just fine!! :-)  
    July 16, Our Wedding Day, is also International Juggling Day!

    Ditto Kelly.  You've got a lot going on!  I get really bad heartburn sometimes and I can't imagine it being worse plus everything else.  **Hugs**

    I will say a prayer for you. I can't imagine how hard the combination of all of those things must be. Know that God will not put you through more than you can handle and He is with you always.

    Ugh - I turned into a huge overy-medicated baby a few months ago when i got strep throat... and that was just for a few days! I can't begin to understand what you are going through. Praying for the miracle you need, and the patience, strength, and comfort (physical and emotional) until you get it.
