Testimonies of Healing

Muscle spasms and pain healed

From the June 2025 issue of The Christian Science Journal


I was introduced to Christian Science when I finished high school and began studying and practicing it. I had some healings by relying on prayer, but after several years my devotion to Christian Science faded, and I stopped reading any Christian Science literature. Although God was always in my thoughts, it was not until several years ago, when I started suffering from uncontrollable muscle spasms, that I came back to Christian Science.  

I had gone to see my regular doctor, but after several visits and tests, she told me she could not explain why this was happening. She suggested it could be a neurological issue, and she scheduled me for a brain CT scan. I was terrified, and while waiting at the clinic for the CT scan, I felt so much fear in everyone waiting around me as well.

During the scan, I began repeating to myself what I remembered from “the scientific statement of being” found in Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy (see p. 468). At that time I could only remember some of the lines in Spanish, and I really didn’t understand the full meaning of them. But I felt that this was my only hope, and I just repeated the few lines I remembered over and over.
