thought came to my mind too Foxy, but what if it is a test? what if some new comer has noted our sometimes hostile posts and wants us to convict ourselves, in all truth my contribution was and is as if it is true and to balance out a rude comment by our troll, after all the next new comer may be a great asset to us all

I cannot comment on your body's physical health, so see the experts for that.

All I can say is that wilfully modifying your body is not good for your spiritual health: you were born into this particular body for a reason, so better let this reason reap. If you try to thwart and avoid the experience(s) intended for you in your current body, then you won't be better off because you will need to be reborn into another body with similar issues, suffering all over again whatever you are suffering from now.

If, however, you feel that the reason for which you have a particular body-feature has already been fulfilled and is no longer there, then you should consult the issue with your spiritual preceptor to verify whether your feeling is correct and not misleading.

However you really do need to speak to your medical professional.

Going overseas would be an option, depending on how serious your condition is. If you're just about to keel over & you're short of money, go overseas. If you have plenty of dough see an australian Dr & let him know up front you're loaded. You'll be in like Fynn.
