Faith and Fibromyalgia

Faith and Fibromyalgia

The experience of chronic pain can bring you to your knees. When our suffering is acute and unceasing, we often start asking questions that medicine and science can't answer. Tami gently wades into these waters with us, offering viewpoints from a range of faith perspectives. Perhaps we can find a little solace in these true stories. Perhaps we can begin to develop and share a more robust theology of suffering and prayer.

Some Unsettling Questions

  • What did I do to deserve this?
  • Why hasn't God healed me? Did I not pray right or believe hard enough?
  • What happens when my body won't allow me to observe a fast or practice my faith the same way others do?
  • What do you do when your faith family actually makes matters worse?
