A few years ago, a doctor whom I'd been seeing repeatedly for many years for a recurring problem diagnosed me as having chronic urinary tract infections. Although he prescribed antibiotics for the condition, taking them always caused more problems for me, and I became very afraid both of the infections and the drugs.
After living with the dread of these infections as well as other health problems for a while, I began to feel desperate. I thought life wasn't worth living if it was this hard getting from day to day. In this state of mind one day, having just driven past a Christian Science Reading Room, I felt led by God to turn my car around and go in. I just had an intuition that life could be better for me. I knew something about Christian Science because, as a child, I'd attended a Christian Science Sunday School. I hadn't thought about it for many years, but instead, in my craving for balance and peace, had experimented with a great many philosophies and practices. None of them felt satisfying, though, or had any staying power.
It dawned on me that, yes, I was really healed.
