I posted this in 16+ at the NSP, but I'll post it here, too: My mom wants me to stop taking the medication that was prescribed to me about two months ago. It's worked really well since I started taking it, and I don't want to go back to the way I was without it. :( To me, the side effects it's giving me (which we don't even know if the pills are causing the side effects) are worth being able to live a mostly normal life.

Thanks for the prayers,
-Rachel

Thanks, ajamj. :) You've got to love the great moms in this place. I count on you guys almost as much as my real mom, and I think I'll be even more grateful for you when I move out of the house in a few weeks.

Aww... Well, you know we are always here when you need us! :hug:
I am always praying for you as well. (High fives to ajamj for super-mom-ness)

It looks like I'm going to be going off my meds for the next few months. :( Everyone, run for your lives!

It's been a week, so I'm going to be lazy and double post. ;)

I've been having a lot of abdominal pain since I stopped my meds. I normally get them at certain times on them, but normally they're pretty mild. These drove me out of the bed this morning. :( They're just like the ones I had back in May (before I started meds), but they're a lot more painful.

Dear God I pray that You would be with Rachael as she deals with these difficulties. I pray that You would heal her of her pain and bless her as she isn't on medication anymore.
Amen

Thank you, Lord Kappa. I'm going to be posting updates at The Crosstreets Prayer Request Forum from now on.
