My dear friend, a devout Catholic woman, has endured constant headaches for several years; not a day goes by that her head doesn’t hurt. No one has been able to get to the source. She was the victim of a serious prescription drug error that caused seizures and likely plays a part in this; there is a lawsuit, but it is dragging on, and the pain continues. The headaches make it difficult for her to get to work on time (she is a nurse) and she really needs this job. She confided that she recently had counted out sleeping pills and considered taking enough to go to sleep and not wake up.

She is a dear woman, a loving mother, who has had a very hard time recently (cheating husband, divorce, the prescription error, pain) but hangs onto her faith. She has a spiritual director and sees a psychiatrist, and they both know of the suicidal thoughts. Please pray for her; she is one of the best people I know and deserves a little relief. Thank you.
 
Praying very hard for better health for her and for her complete trust in God!
 
Hail Mary, full of grace. The Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women and blessed is thy fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners now and in the hour of our death.

Blessed Mother,
Please help this woman by praying for her. You are a Mother so you know where the hearts of other moms lie. Please ask your Son to help.

Amen
 
:gopray: Father God we lift this special devout women to You. So much had happen in her life and yet she clings to You. Thank you Lord for her example to us all. Continue to work in her life. Bring about a change in the frequency and severity of the headaches. Father God let her know how You care for her. Take away the temptations of suicide. Help her to continue to see hope and a reason to live. Bring this child into Your arms and hold her tight.

I’m praying for your friend who is going through a difficult time.
Prayerfully,

I sent your request for your friend to the prayer request site of the Sisters of the Carmel of Hudson, Wisconsin. I will remember her especially in my Evening Prayer intentions.

Perhaps you and others who know and love her could start a novena to her favorite saint or other appropriate saint? God still performs miracles! 🙂
 
Thank you all so much; it is so sad to see someone so thoroughly good go through so much pain, both emotional and physical. There are lots of novenas and special prayers being said for her now; I know it will help.
 
Praying very hard for her…God bless her.

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou amongst women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now, and at the hour of our death. Amen.

We beseech thee, Master, to be our helper and protector.
Save the afflicted among us; have mercy on the lowly;
raise up the fallen; appear to the needy; heal the ungodly;
restore the wanderers of thy people;
feed the hungry; ransom our prisoners;
raise up the sick; comfort the faint-hearted.

Clement of Rome (1st Century)

Many of our problems are caused by the attitude that we don’t have to handle tough things but simply take a pill. As the director of Novus Medical Detox, I daily see the ravages caused by prescription drug addiction created by doctors prescribing it to their patients and then the patients either continuing to obtain it or purchasing these drugs on the internet or the street. Probably the worst of these drugs is OxyContin–legal heroin.

Pain is real. I have had to deal with it much of my life first from polio and then from two surgeries. However, there are alternatives to painkillers and they must be tried first. Let’s not treat the symptoms but the cause.

Prescription drug addiction is an epidemic and we must do everything we can to stop it before it overwhelms us. Education is a must. Detox and rehab are the only solutions for people who are addicted and have decided that they must change their lives.
