Adversity Only a Small Moment

BAD MIGRAINE today… Last night I started a horrible migraine on the left side of my neck and head after arriving to a friends house for a get-together. I did not enjoy the night as much as I wanted to due to the pain.

I woke up today again with the headache still in an up-roar. I knew I would need to see the chiropractor first thing this morning. I went in early and he adjusted my ribs and head. I felt a little bit better. But by 4:00pm the pain was worsening on my right side of my neck and head this time. I am wondering if I am not able to get enough air due to the bad air quality in the valley where I live. It is so hard to figure out what is causing these migraines. I know they come on when my lungs flare. They seem to correlate with each flare-up that I have. So I either am not getting enough air which is causing the migraines and nausea or they are a direct result from the lung pain.

Since these headaches, I have been doing some research and found that I should probably see a neurologist to rule out neuro-sarcs. Migraines and nausea are a direct result of having neuro-sarcs. I am scared to find out if my sarcs have spread to other places in my body and I think that is why I keep putting it off. But I do know I need to bite the bullet and face whatever I must deal with. These headaches are excruciating and keep me completely out of commission when I get them. I think I will find a neurologist after the first of the year.

Sometimes I just don't want to be told there is something else wrong with me. Somedays I just want to pretend that nothing is wrong. I know that I must face this trial head on and deal with it the best way that I can. I must have courage and not fear the future.

I must keep in mind and remember what the Lord told Joseph Smith as he was suffering in jail. "My son, peace be unto thy soul; thine adversity and thine afflictions shall be but a small moment; " And then, if thou endure it well, God shall exalt thee on high."

This gives me so much hope and I know that my adversity and affliction is just a small moment in the Lords timetable and that I must endure it well so that I can return and live with him again someday!
