Dear Jesus, I bring this petition before you on behalf of Ms Luisa and others, that you will show your power in her by bringing her noticeable relief she can't deny came through your magnificent name. We know how you often work these miracles with mankind so that we may bring glory to your wonderful name! Dear Jesus I pray you work this work of majesty for your namesake and let it be known to all that it was your loving kindness and the power in your Holy Name that brought this blessing and miracle of peace. In Jesus' name, according to the decree set forth in your precious word, that where two touch in agreement on any thing that we ask in your name that it will be done, let it be so! Amen!

All in agreement, say "Amen" 🙏❤️‍🔥🥰

This is the vicious cycle
I’m suffering really bad again with no solution in sight the drs aren’t bothered and I should have had a hospital appointment no later than 26 may calling and they keep passing me to different departments and still no call bk.
I’ve been off of work again now since May my hair is still falling out and I’ve got. more medical issues attached to this vile condition. I’ve now managed to save to go private Ive dropped 4 clothes sizes and over 4 stone and look like a walking skeleton. I’ve been close to ending it more than once
The pain and the nerve ending shocks are unbearable. I’m hoping to get some kind of solution tomorrow
I’m sorry this isn’t a positive post it just seems. The drs answers to everything is a course of antibiotics and “don’t scratch “ I don’t even realise I’m picking away most of the time and If I do take one of the prescribed sleeping tablets I still do it in my sleep.
The anti scratching gloves end up on the floor
