I was raised in Christian Science and experienced many healings growing up. Once I had a family of my own, my reliance on Christian Science continued, and we too witnessed many healings. However, there was a time when I faced a challenge that required me to rely on and grow in my understanding of God more than I ever had in the past. Though at times the situation seemed desperate, God’s healing power was felt and ultimately fully demonstrated.

One night I experienced an attack that involved extreme dizziness and vomiting. My loving husband, though not a church member, believes in God and has seen the healing power of prayer, and he was right there to comfort me. However, we were both in shock, and later that night, my husband took me to the hospital. We were told I had Meniere’s disease. 

I was committed to working the situation out in Christian Science, and at different times received spiritual treatment from a Christian Science practitioner. There were long periods of peace and freedom, but the attacks continued. Sometimes an attack would stop while I was talking to a practitioner, and with no aftereffects. But as the years went by, the sudden attacks increased in number until they became an everyday event. I found myself in the emergency room several more times, and I started to feel that I just wanted to die.
