Hmmm....
STAND ALONE NARRATIVE
RESTLESS
I always have restless night. My mind gets so restless at night even when I am sleeping. I dream scary dreams, wakeup feeling exhausted with pains on my shoulders daily. This has been going on for almost three years. I have gone to general hospitals.
I always have restless night. My mind gets so restless at night even when I am sleeping. I dream scary dreams, wakeup feeling exhausted with pains on my shoulders daily. This has been going on for almost three years. I have gone to general hospitals.
I have done all manner of tests and scan yet nothing was found. The last doctor suggested I remove my mind from worry and rest well. I am not worried of anything for now even though I had a very bad experience few years back.
Please has anyone experienced this? What did you do. God bless you
*This one is not hospital matter, your mind is worried.. Maybe the experience you had years back...Find a quiet moment and think about what it could be..
Good luck with the comments
I am a medical doctor. Please do not confer to us status/might that we do not have. We are not trained to treat "nightmares and shoulder pains" after sleeping; the kind that "basic medical investigations" cannot decipher. Please this is a matter for God the creator.
ReplyDeleteYou are "working/laboring in the realm of the spirit for forces beyond you."
Jesus said; "Come to me all you that labor and are heavy laden and I will give you rest."
That rest the doctor is recommending is "physical rest" which does not solve this.
Rest of your soul is only in Christ and that is where your solution is.
Naija medical doctor with 'Elo tesele bo'. That is so unprofessional. What this person needs is adequate medical care. She needs to go to a sleep lab. They check if she sleeps deeply enough. It might even be a medication she took in the past.Not everything is spiritual
DeleteYes poster should pray but @anon 15:06, you are a quack. No medical doctor talks like this. Poster, that has been my story too. Please change the hospital. There were things that were prescribed for me after some test but since I'm not a medical doctor and my symptoms might be different from yours please see a specialist. However for now you should sleep playing sounds maybe water fall sounds. Note, I didn't say music also cut down on screen time especially at night. Watch your diet as well.
Delete15:25 I like your sleep lab idea.
Delete"sleep lab, rest? Wow, even after the doctor told her the second one?. See a specialist what; physician, surgeon, gynae, psychiatrist or what? She told you what the doctor told her. Medical doctors are trained to refer what is beyond their specialty. If the doctor that saw her thought that she needed a referral, won't he/she have referred her? Listen people, it is not everything that medical science can cure or know of. That is why there is a word called "Idiopathic" in medicine. Google it and find its meaning. Whenever you see "idiopathic" before a diagnosis, then, medical science had agreed that it does not know the cause of this.
DeleteAnon 15:06 I don’t know if you are lying about being a doctor..this is all shades of unprofessional, if ur patients needed spiritual guidance, she would have gone to a church not hospital.
DeletePoster you need to see a psychiatrist or even a psychotherapist...there are even online apps available for psychotherapy....The information u provided is very brief, but google and read up on 1. Generalized Anxiety Disorder 2.Panic disorder 3.Post traumatic stress disorder...see if any of these describe ur symptoms..Goodluck
15:56
DeleteAnxiety or panic "disorder" won't give you shoulder pains after sleeping.
She saw a doctor who didn't refer her.
15:53 so the doctors that make mistakes are not doctors
DeleteShe needs a specialist
15.25, 15.37👍
DeleteHow can you stay on a blog and conclude that the doctor made a mistake? And specialists won't make mistakes. Your anger is that God was mentioned
Delete@16:41 who told you
DeleteIt's so scary, very very very very scary when you look at the calibre of 'doctors' available these days.
DeleteOne wonders if they were trained via cartoons.
I'm doing everything to stay healthy and praying for good health because the thought of going to hospitals here can make one ill.
Poster have you gone for a brain scan? If you have then go to a Sleep Lab. There is one in Yaba Lagos. Not sure if Stella would permit me to put the address but you can Google it. I dont know what location you are in.
My colleague went through something similar. He went for a series of rigorous tests when he travelled to his country. The issue was detected and was thoroughly treated.
Please don't delay.
Afi 'working in the realm of the blah blah', this is shy Nigerians die like fowls at the hospitals.
*I did not put my colleagues diagnosis because it might not be the same thing. Bottom line it is a medical issue. Go to a hospital and meet doctors who know what they are doing and you will be fine.
@18:24
DeleteYou just spewed so much and making no sense at all. This patient said that she had seen a doctor and done tests; are you implying that the doctor she saw was not a medical doctor or what? If this patient needed a referral to a specialist, the doctor she saw would have done that. I am not holding brief for the first commenter. You see, even Jesus said that "the sick needs a doctor." Mark 2:17. But what happens when the sick had seen a doctor, done medical tests and is not well at all. It happened in Jesus's time to that woman with the issue of blood; probably cervical cancer. When she did not get better after spending everything on doctors, she sought Jesus., was she not healed? Please do not make people who have gone to doctors and obtained no help not to seek their creator for healing.
A family friend was discovered to have breast cancer in USA. The doctors had written her off because it had spread. She was given a date to die. She had to throw all her faith in God. Yes a believer in Christ prayed and fasted with her and she was healed. I mean the doctors wrote her off. it is not everything that doctors can do.
Please I have worked in a General hospital.
DeleteGeneral hospitals in Nigeria are not that bad; this is the second tier
medical facility. If this woman had gone to general hospitals for these
three years and done scans, she must have seen specialists. You ladies
should free her to seek Jesus. "What God cannot do does not exist" is a
popular chant I hear among Nigerians and on this blog, so why are you all
riled up now that the realities of life has set in?
This so called doctor up there is the reason Nigerians should be scared of our hospitals. QUACK.
Delete19:40 It's such a great pity and the dingbat is still vibrating in wretched abject ignorance on this thread.
Delete"Quack" because he mentioned "Jesus," right? If he had talked about "alternative therapies" with success, and avoided that name
Delete"Jesus," would you have called her quack? All the doctors this girl saw in general hospitals for 3 years who did CT scans
are all quacks; right?
Diagnosis: ? Finromyalgia. Yeah, l'm a medical doctor but not practising in Nigeria. You are welcome.
DeleteStop giving doctors a bad name, no doctor would say this..You are not a doctor
Delete@22:38
DeleteI am a Christian and a doctor. I am not based in Nigeria. I will tell my patient exactly what she wrote above if she has "been to general hospitals for 3 years, investigated and not any better."
It is not a crime to recommend faith to someone who is hopeless; is it?
@Doctor not practicing in Nigeria
Deletefrom google:
"Fibromyalgia (fi·bro·my·al·gi·a) is a condition that causes pain all over the body (also referred to as widespread pain), sleep problems, fatigue, and often emotional and mental distress. People with fibromyalgia may be more sensitive to pain than people without fibromyalgia"
1. You failed the spelling
2. This woman only has "shoulder pains in the mornings after nightmares" and not "pain all over her body"
3. She did not complain of fatigue.
4. She did not complain of low pain threshold
5. Doctors in Nigeria has investigated and managed her for 3 years and she isn't any better.
I am also a doctor and I live in the USA.
Find another excuse to divert people from Jesus Christ. Yep, that's the stumbling block for most of you here. A doctor mentioned "Jesus"
who by the way said that "the sick needs a doctor"
@21:51
DeleteYou mean to write fibromyalgia? Here are the symptoms and that patient up there has got NONE
What are usually the first signs of fibromyalgia?
Main signs and symptoms
fatigue.
lack of energy.
trouble sleeping.
depression or anxiety.
memory problems and trouble concentrating (sometimes called “fibro fog”)
headaches.
muscle twitches or cramps.
numbness or tingling in the hands and feet.
Wow! I love this.
DeleteWhy is it that anytime Jesus is mentioned, people begin to hyperventilate?
Same churchy Nigerians?
The quality of care is very poor. Watch Ms Craig’s story of her brain surgery journey on YouTube. I lost my youngest sister to the system 6 years ago. A system where some Drs couldn’t diagnose her gall bladder infection until they murdered her @ 30+. She went from National hospital to another expensive private clinic in Abuja, paying millions yet they couldn’t figure it out. We reviewed all the emailed details. Everyone here had a story to tell from greedy Naija Drs wanting to be technicians to collect money on CT scan machines donated by those here for poor villagers to worse! I’m speaking both professionally & as a victim’s relative!
DeleteSame Nigeria that some doctors “cook” up labs for money, recommend CS when not necessary so they can charge millions? The truth is that every new university feels they must offer every program including medicine when they simply are not resourced to do so, foisting low quality Drs on society, some with questionable ethics but very large ego. Many 200 year old universities in the US only focus on liberal arts, some just engineering. Our “anything goes attitude masked with religion is sad”. I speak as a born again, spirit filled Christian.
Yes it’s possible to see 3 incompetent Drs in Nigeria where there is no liability insurance, effective legislation & prosecution or potential litigation issues to keep incompetent professionals on their toes plus the high tech equipments for diagnosis. It’s not magic, a physician cannot know what they are not exposed to or trained in! Have you done an MRI? What diagnostic tests have they done to scientifically rule out other conditions? Are there any sleep labs with state of the art equipment in Nigeria with well trained staff? Sleep medicine is highly specialized, costs a lot even in the US. Has she seen a psychiatrist? Poster please see a physician in the west even via telemedicine to get their opinion. There are many phases of sleep, you may be “sleeping” but not sleeping. The insomnia & nightmares may be a function of depression but let a psych determine that, we know nothing about your lifestyle, family or work so nobody can tell why you have the aches & pains or insomnia on this blog.
If it is the stressful Lagos where I read people leave for work at 5:am, stay in traffic for 3 hrs, get home to irregular power at 8/9:00pm? It’s a no brainer if you wake up from your incomplete sleep with aches & pains but we don’t have enough information.
You may just need a lifestyle change. You need God to open the door for you if your current life is stressful that’s what only God can do but God will not do what he has resourced mankind to do. The buckpassing in every area of life in Nigeria disguised as religion needs to stop! God is expected to secure the trains & buses, provide electricity & water while politicians who should do it steal the money? God is to treat a condition, idiopathic or not, that maintenance treatments provide a good quality of life for, from the intellect he gave people who designed the meds, manufactured them, prescribe & dispense them!
You aren’t a better Christian because you asked a patient to pray it out! Not so fast, she has no terminal disease, many idiopathic conditions are treatable and managed! That is how a woman came from Nigeria & said her Nigerian obgyn said her Bp of 165/100 during pregnancy was nothing to worry about & another one was drinking “ special water” for a tumor while deteriorating! Jesus is the healer but he once mixed sand & saliva to apply on a blind man’s eyes! He is referred to as the balm of Gilead for a reason! They are both still alive but would have gone if it were up to some Nigerian medical Drs! I’m not putting anyone on the spot, especially the grads of these mushroom private med schools all over Nigeria that aren’t as resourced as the biology lab of some high schools here. No offense intended. You can’t give what you don’t have. Every month at least 100 brand new meds get approved by FDA as research is an ongoing, how many are in Naija? Na we call Jesus pass but na our society wicked pass
7:59 Thank you. The quality of doctors we have here as said before: VERY VERY VERY SCARY.
DeleteSo doctors cant tell patients about faith in Jesus again.
DeleteI would recommend you listen to soft musics. Music that cool the soul. Some Christian musics that are soft will help you remove worry.
ReplyDeleteSecondly pray every night and ask God to remove worry from you. Prayer is the master key that everyone needs. Yori princess
I suggest YOGA. It's for mind and body. Try take a vacation to natural places where you can hike remote and natural terrains and absorb nature and ease off all the piled up stress. It's not that expensive.
Delete@Ms Saphire
DeleteYoga = Hindu theistic philosophy teachings . . . (from Miriam webster dictionary via google)
Is that what you recommend?
Are you a Hindu or did this poster tell you that she is Hindu?
If someone mentioned "Jesus," you will attack. Why are you bringing Hindu religion with over a million gods into
an already complex situation?
Fast and pray to Jesus until you are released from this bondage.
ReplyDeleteYou have carried out all the medical analysis yet no solution, please if you are a Christian, try prayers, it works. Consistently tell it to your Father, He can heal any hurt, mend every brokenness, deliver from any form of bondage. And while at it, tell yourself you are an overcomer, worry has got nothing on you because your Father has said you should cast all cares on Him for He careth for thee.
ReplyDeletePoster that experience you had years back is your worried, you need to forget that experience, forgive whoever is involved that is the only way you can find peace. If you have not let go of the past you cannot never move on in life.
ReplyDeleteI know is very difficult to forgive people, to let go of many things but that is the beat way to heal from your past so that you too can find peace of mind. You cannot tell me you sleep well at night cos your mind is not at rest either.
Ask the holy spirit to help you out cos you cannot do it all. You may also need to change your environment is possible the experience you had in the past some things around your environment is reminding you of your past. In that case you cannot forget the experience reason your mind is not at rest.
You need to change circle of friends if you think they remind you of the past. Talk to your parents or anyone who you can find closure cos you go go Gaga if time is not taken with the whole you are stressing yourself over things you cannot change or control.
Please let all your worries be on God cos him alone has the solution to every of our problems.
You need a specialist doctor
ReplyDeletePersonally, I think you’re trying too hard. Just let your mind wonder or pop a sleeping pill and go to bed
Something is definitely bugging your mind,you need to let go of the past and let your mind be at peace.
ReplyDeleteRead your Bible,pray and listen to cool music.
It is well with you.
I was in witchcraft before Jesus saved me. I know that we used to get people (who do not believe in Christ) to go work in our farms. Yes, you read me right. You might be sleeping comfortably on your bed but you are working very hard for someone's farm or factory. When you wake up, your body tells the story with pains everywhere.
ReplyDeleteWhy do you think that some people's factory have very few or insignificant number of workers but they have great outputs. There are a lot in this life that go beyond what you see. But whenever I approached the beds of Christians, they are surrounded by angels and fire.
I saw a lot and I know a lot. but I than God for revealing himself to me. Maybe one day I will sit down and write my testimony in full. I pity people who are still doubting the saving power of Jesus.
Why do I believe this, my cousin that got delivered last 2 weeks told us a lot that happens in their coven and I was dumbfounded. People are just wicked In this world. My elder cousin leg that have been paining her for years have been used by this cousin that got delivered for years as a sitting stool in their coven. No medication was able to cure these leg pains still these my witch cousin confessed. This world is deep.
Delete🧢
DeleteNo matter how huge the situation is, I always remind myself that worries never solved any of my problems so there’s no room for it.
ReplyDeleteExperiencing the same thing though am newly divorced which l think cause it. Having Hotness in the chest region.
ReplyDeletePls pls go see a doctor
DeleteAnon 15:17 please check your BP asap. This is not a good symptom. God be with you
DeleteAnon 15:17 please check your BP asap. This is not a good symptom. God be with you
DeleteChristians Christians go to psychiatrist in Addition to your prayers
ReplyDeleteNot everything prayer
Nothing is wrong with you that is spirit realm be calm and study it to know what happen in your spiritual life whether to claim it or reject it through prayers.
ReplyDeletePlease let me suggest a few things;
ReplyDelete1. Google THANK YOU JESUS PRAYER. It's a 1000 rosary prayer which has worked wonders for so many people including me.
Say it every night when you are already in bed wholeheartedly and believe that Christ has answered your prayer.
2. There's something Yoruba people call Tagiri, (it looks like melon) you can put it in your room as well.
3. You can also put Garlic in your room too.
4. Then, please, do go for a full body massage and see a therapist or if you're a Catholic and you can't afford a therapist, go to the confession where you can offload on your priest.
5. Someone also said the Holy Michael perfume mixed with palm kernel oil and body cream work wonders as well.
Good luck.
👍 N0 1 and 4. Thank you Jesus rosary is very calming and saying the usual rosary b4 bed is very therapeutic. Then that full body massage...when some masseurs handle your scalp and temple ehn...you will instantly slip into a deep dreamless sleep. Confessions too is very helpful.
DeleteOne minute you are calling Jesus rosary, next minute you are advocating for abortion and premarital sex. Sis, choose one side please.
Delete19:01 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 you dey mind am?
DeleteI am a Pro-abortion and a Pro-Premarital safe sex. Call police for me naw. That is how I practice my own kind of faith. It's nothing like yours and you have to learn and live with that fact that you and I probably do not serve the same God. Got it? Good!
DeletePlease and please, if you are a Christian, there is nothing like practicing your own kind of faith. Just tell us you're a free thinker, instead of dragging Christ's name together with sinful acts. The Word of God will not change to suit anyone of us.
DeleteMs Saphire, out of curiosity, which God do you serve?
DeleteWell, I do practice my own kind. Call police. At the end of the day it's about how my own relationship with Him works for me. You, stick to how it works for you.
DeleteWell, you cannot serve two masters - yourself and Jesus, the Bible is clear on that Ma.
Delete2 Timothy 2:19
DeleteBut God’s truth stands firm like a foundation stone with this inscription: “The LORD knows those who are his,” and “All who belong to the LORD must turn away from evil.”
One other verse, Ms S
Delete1 Corinthians 6:9 Don’t you realize that those who do wrong will not inherit the Kingdom of God? Don’t fool yourselves. Those who indulge in sexual sin, or who worship idols, or commit adultery, or are male prostitutes, or practice homosexuality, 10 or are thieves, or greedy people, or drunkards, or are abusive, or cheat people—none of these will inherit the Kingdom of God.
I think you have ptsd from your past experiences and even though you think you are ok at the moment, in your subconscious you are not and that is why you not able to relax when you sleep and it manifests physically with the shoulder pains. I think you need a good psychologist/therapist that can help you deal properly with your past traumas. Also never underestimate the power of prayers. Wish you all the best
ReplyDeleteHmmmmmmmmm
ReplyDeleteFirst off all, look at the common, usual suspects; febrile illnesses. Malaria fever for e.g is a common cause of recurrent nightmares. Though, I think you suffer from night terrors (has various terms tho). The causes vary. A good proportion being psychological. As someone stated, there are sleep specialists, however, you'll be hard pressed to find any in this our environment.
ReplyDeletePrayer too helps, a lot. Late night devotions or all night scriptures/songs (YouTube).
Am a health care practitioner but am talking both from a medical point of view but also personal as it's something I had as a a challenge for a really really long time so I do understand where you're coming from.
Also, do your personal research on it. Sleeping tablets do help, but it creates dependence and that's something that am personally against.
My 50kobo Sha.
Take Ashwaagandha. It will calm you and enhance your sleep. You have anxiety which is causing your restlestness.
ReplyDeleteNight terrors or parasomnia
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely Correct. She needs to see a Sleep Doctor to do a sleep study on her. This is a sleep disorder.
DeletePoster, I guess you are experiencing PTSD and medical doctors don't treat that, while praying,you need the help of coach/ therapist on mental and emotional health to assist you get over the experience which is still affecting you. Check yourself for triggers that makes you fall back to that experience.
ReplyDeleteAre medical doctors so limited that they do not know they can refer to other healthcare officials if they cannot treat? Of course since they cannot identify the cause, how then can they even refer????
DeleteCheck your blood pressure first
ReplyDeleteCheck your blood pressure first
ReplyDeletePoster pls go to YouTube download appostle Selman deliverance messages, from part 1 to part 2.
ReplyDeleteBack it up with fasting, your life will be changed. You know the spiritual controlled the physical. God is on the throne.
Pls go to a teaching hospital, ask of the mental health department and get a review , while you also pray with faith, tell God you want peace of mind, body and soul! Plsss go to a teaching hospital. Hottie 7
ReplyDeleteThe Lord gives his beloved... Sweet sleep. Yes !!! Why not seek the face of God . Nothing impossible for him to do dear poster.
ReplyDeletePoster, please go for deliverance. There is a young guy in my fellowship that the uncle used in the spiritual world for several years. He ran errands for an occult where his uncle belong to until God set him free. I believe your case is more spiritual than physical. Pray pray and pray.
ReplyDeleteWow, many suggestions. I'd say start from the medical point - see a specialist in sleep disorders. Before that check the BP. While at it, commit your situation to God - He never fails.
ReplyDeleteSmoke Canadian Kush...thank me later
ReplyDeleteIf you sleep face up and usually put your hands under your head you will wake up with shoulder pains sometimes down to your elbow,so I will suggest you change your sleeping position
ReplyDeleteJoin the gym, it worked for me. I’m so tired I pass out!
ReplyDeleteAlso check your vitamin levels; zinc and magnesium supplements work!
Good suggestions.
DeleteIts obvious you've not been sexually active. Best style to get good sleep, get f.cked from behind first then sideways. Do all styles but no missionary and thank me later
ReplyDeleteSec won’t heal this one . Sorry
DeleteIt could be the chair in your office especially that rotating chairs.
ReplyDeleteIt could be anxiety or sleep related. Where are u based? I work in a sleep clinic in abuja.
