When I was very new in the study of Christian Science, I found myself troubled by a physical condition that greatly alarmed me because of pain and pressure in the heart area. I could not lie down but sat up in bed each night in great fear and discomfort. This went on for some weeks. I went to work every day, but when I came home I prayed and read Science and Health and Mrs. Eddy's other writings in the evening and for most of the night.

The suggestion to seek medical help was very aggressive. But I kept clinging to Mrs. Eddy's writings, even though at times it seemed that the words I was reading were just words instead of powerful declarations of spiritual truth.
