Topic:Top 3 challenges currently eating away my life.
Just our admin rightly said,sucker punch,is an un expected punch, you are not prepared, you did not expect it, that is how Challenges strike,it does not announce it,it could be lost of Job,it could be sickness,it could be death etc
I have experience a lot of sucker punch but I will share 1 of the top3 with you.
Health Challenges.
- How did it begin?
It all started on June 1991 when I was 16 years old, that time,I was living with my Auntie,one evening,I noticed that my right leg was paining me,I told my Auntie and Said,is laziness that I don't want to do what she asked me to do,I managed the leg but before the next morning,I couldn't walk again,I suppose to start my morning chores by 3:am because,she was selling food that time,I couldn't stand up to do something, they called me by 4:am with abusive ways that i should get up and fo my work,I tried noway,6:am, the husband said, for this girl still lying down,go and check her maybe she is not feeling fine,she came,saw me crying,she shouted at me that she had been calling me I did not answer her let alone telling her my problem,I said since my problem is laziness, what do you want me to tell you,she called the husband, that was when we noticed that my leg has swollen so big as if it will burst,
They went to nearby chemist bought some ndrug for me,I took it but,no sign of relief,they told some people about it and they gave a lot of suggestions, finally they took me to a herberlist,by,all my joints have become stiff, the whole of my body had swollen like balloon,but I did not accept the treatment of that herbalist because it is against my faith.
She said to me,my daughter,if you don't accept this treatment, you may not walk again,this your problem,is spiritual, you need spiritual treatment,I told her that the treatment is temporarily, while my relationship with Jehovah is permanent.
How long have you been coping with it?
For 30 years nowThe difficulties it has caused me and my family
When I refused the treatment,they brought me back and send me back to my parents,my parents spend a lot, they took me to to different places,I dranked different medicine until 1995,I was able to walk well,but,I can't wear sheo,fine sandals only foam silpas,since then I have been suffering it every year until 2015, when 1 man gave me treatment for 3 months,it is better now than before.
- What have you done to cope with it?
At first it was not easy,I prayed several times with tears,But now,i now how to manage it, when I stand up for a long time ,the following day I will find it difficult to walk, because of it I stop platin of her, when I sit down for a long time, the following day sometimes weeks,it will not be easy for me,I stop my beautiful work of fashion and designing,I stopped the two 2012,
I have tried different businesses but I spend more than what i make in buying pain relief,since that sucker punch strated June 1991 every June it will come up and suffer me seriously for 3 months,so I tried to find out why is always serious between June to August,I discovered that,if rain bit me or if i put my leg in water, wether, strram , stagnant or flood waters,swo I am doing my best to avoid it.I have supplement, natural remedies and drugs I use every day for past 10 years to keep me going every day,and am learning to make money with my smart phone since I can't do hard businesses,am using this opportunity to say big thank you to @bento3 and @ngoenyi for introducing Steemit to me because it's one of the things i need to make a living.
The help I need
Jus like I mentioned earlier,I am learning many ways to market online,but I don't have good phone, and money for advert,if I have good smart phone,I will be able to support my family and buy my drugs and support others too
Life with all kinds of challenges,but with eyes of faith we will prevail,Jehovah will help us maam
Sure
Your story is so touching @ijelady. I can imagine the type of pain you must have been passing through. I am glad you are able to walk again. The pain is better than not being able to walk again. Please always avoid rain as much as possible. While we manage to deal with our present situation, we await a time when no one will say
Thank you for participating in this contest. I wish you success
Thank you @ngoenyi
