I wanted freedom from a very discouraging difficulty, but I wasn't all that confident that healing would occur. I was finding that my study of Christian Science brought me comfort, but I had not personally seen healings that were immediate or unquestionably attributable to prayer. I felt that sometimes my ailments just cleared up over time. However, this problem had been around for so long that I was sure it would be around forever. I knew that if it was to be healed, it would be only with God's help. I needed this healing to be my "sign" that what I was learning was true, and I promised that if I found healing, I would share the results and not be timid about acknowledging the power behind it. I am grateful to say that I am now convinced.
I have now been totally free
of pain since October of 1996.
It was probably ten or more years ago that I started to suffer with an acute, intermittent pain in my mouth. I visited several dentists, who could not determine a cause. I tried everything I could think of, but it became painful to eat, smile, or even kiss my husband! I went through bouts of crying and depression. My husband encouraged me to seek help from the medical profession, but still a clear diagnosis was elusive, and eventually I had exhausted all nonsurgical remedies without results.
