When I was studying at university I suffered from severe headaches that were medically diagnosed as sinusitis, which I was told is a recurring condition. I went to a doctor to find relief and antibiotics were prescribed. These I took, but the pain continued and another ailment started up that seemed to be a side effect of the medication. In exasperation I opted not to resort to further use of medicine, and I recall wishing that there were some better way.

When I was introduced to Christian Science about a year later and received a copy of the Christian Science textbook, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy, I read it with enthusiasm for what it taught of God and of prayer. Wonderful experiences greeted me each day as I digested some measure of the truths shared in this book. The declaration that these religious teachings healed sickness seemed almost incidental in light of the spiritual insight I felt pouring into thought.

When early signs of the sinusitis threatened some time later, I felt a fear of a return of this condition. But I found myself praying quietly, arguing mentally against the grounds for fear in view of what I was learning in Science of divine Love's allness. The condition failed to reappear at that time, but the dread of the disease hadn't yet been overcome.
