  1. These things are dealing with an overproduction of hormones. Apparently, my physicians think that there are ways which reduce these hormones, yet are contrary to Heavenly Father's directions. It's a frustrating situation, but such as it is I will continue trying to live the way The Lord wants.
  2. I apologize for being so vague. I just didn't know if it was appropriate to be more forward. I think I have received the answers I needed. It is exceedingly difficult, but I'll go with my Bishops recommendation. Thank you to everyone who responded. ~J
  3. If it is ok, I would rather not talk about the medication in detail save to say that it causes these things to worsen by many degrees. There are no other options of changing or altering the dose of this medication for the foreseeable future.
  4. Hi there. I have a... well... difficult problem. I've thought about it and prayed about it, and I had the feeling that I might want to talk to people here and see what they advise or what experiences they may have had. I want to maintain the spirit of The Lord while I write here, so I will seek to write as discretely about this problem as I can. I have certain problems with my body because I am on a powerful medicine that causes my hormones to be many times what they should be. This medication can't be changed or reduced for another year. I am 24, not married, and likely won't be married for the foreseeable future. There is no place for these feelings to go. I wish there were. Because of this medication, the stress is very strong. Many of my doctors have advised that I do certain things which my Bishop has taken a very strong opposing stance on. The opinion of my doctors and the opinion of my Bishop directly contradict. I'm not sure who to follow, but I would rather follow The Lord. ...And so I am left in a tough place. I try really hard to be a good person. I beat myself up all the time. I do the best I can, but invariably I reach a point where I don't do so well. It hurts my soul, and I feel like I walk around wounded with an extra burden that is hard enough to bear normally without medications like the one I am on. I look all around me at my friends being married off, and this makes it worse. What should I do? Should I just continue to struggle through this? If I have to, I will. This is more difficult than any other challenge I have faced in my life. I would have a lot of gratitude for any advice. Thank you in advance for your kindness.
