I need sleep! (Prayer Request)

[jason_r]

I thought that there was a prayer request forum on this site, but I didn't see it so I was wondering if I could post a prayer request here. It's concerning my health. I have a neurological disease which affects sleep called narcolepsy. A neurotransmitter called hypocretin/orexin is found to be lacking in the brains of people with narcolepsy so it's believed that the neurons which generate this neurotransmitter are damaged (or perhaps in some cases the receptors are damaged so the neurotransmitter cannot be "absorbed") . The result is basically 1) the brain doesn't progress through the stages of sleep properly resulting in very inefficient sleep (and chronic and severe sleep deprivation) and 2) the "intrusion" of REM sleep during the waking state.

This is really a huge struggle for me which results in a lot of physical and emotional suffering and affects every area of my life. If some of you guys could lift up a prayer for me regarding this I'd really appreciate it!

God bless you all,
Jason

Dear Bro Jason,

I prayed for you after reading this prayer request and also posted one for my family members,,,,I hope that you will also pray for them. they live in upper MI, and are in urgent need of prayer right now.

Thank you so much, Chris Fitzell (DaBunny)

Jason, went to your profile and read it. I know how hard this must be on you right now,,,but just know that the dear LORD is never far away,,,and if you are a true believer in Christ,,,,HE is always with you. You will never go where HE won't be with you. HE knows your need for sleep, and also that you need to have fellowship w/other christians...hopefully your are attending a good Bible preaching church.

Just remember you are loved!!!
