In this episode, we interview Julius Sitterlee. Julius and his family’s lives were dramatically changed in November 2017. In an attempt to treat pain for a lower back issue, a doctor had prescribed a commonly used medication that was known to work well with patients like him. He had an extremely adverse reaction to his medication that led to a number of sudden neurological issues. His family watched as this very gentle, affectionate man experienced severe agitation, anxiety, emotional outbursts, and altered smell and taste. He stopped taking the medicine after only four doses, but more symptoms followed: difficulty walking, sleep deprivation, decreased speech output, inability to perform some learned tasks, involuntary jerks in his upper extremities, and memory loss.
In the following months, he spent time in the hospital for a heart condition that suddenly arose and was treated. Then, in May, the severe migraine headaches began. He also developed a highly debilitating hearing disorder characterized by an increased sensitivity to certain frequencies and volume ranges of sound.
Julius has daily migraine headaches. He has to wear protective headgear and can not go into public areas where there might be any overlapping noise.
Julius and his family have been such a ministry to the church family and friends that surround them. They have held unfailing hope in God and joy in the midst of an incredibly difficult time.
Listen as we hear from Julius about what it's like to walk with the Lord through these difficult physical ailments.
