The Town of Odyssey

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

You are always in mine, Rachael!

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!
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.

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