Kristen...The Lord's loving grace continues to shine upon you my sister, I see such courage in your spirit as I read this post, the realness of your soul cries touches the very heart of God, and it touches mine as well.

Kristen, I found you through Lorie's blog which I found from Kristen's Exemplify blog, which I discovered from FW:) I am so sorry to hear you suffer from a chronic condition. I do, too. I have IH (Intracranial Hypertension) My body overproduces spinal fluid which causes severe headaches, dizziness, and nausea. I have an LP shunt but I am not getting much relief and everyday is so very hard. I will be checking out your website.
Thank you for sharing!
Laury
