Spiro script today!!

[Alix]

New girl to Susan's Place!  Saw my Dr today, pre HRT physical went very well!
He gave me my Spiro script so I guess I'm on my way... this is wonderful!   I have
realistic expectations.  Not expecting a miracle but ya never know - right?

Hello everyone from Rochester NY !

Congratulations :-)

That's great! What is involved in a pre-HRT physical other than what would happen in a standard physical?

I haven't been to a doctor in years, so I'm going in for a complete physical - I'm in my low 40's.  I was thinking of asking for my testosterone level, is there anything else to ask to be checked?

[Alix]

Nothing different in the physical.  Dr wanted to make sure my entire body was ready that's all.  He wouldn't hand me a script until he checked me out first.  It was pretty thorough.  Thought we'd exchange numbers afterwards (LOL kidding)...

Just feels good to know I'm ready for MY journey... finally!

[KayCeeDee]

So have you been seeing a therapist first and got a letter, or did you just go to your doctor and ask for spiro for HRT?

[Alix]

I'm seeing a therapist, but Dr doesn't require a letter.  I could not wait 3 or 4 more months to be honest w ya.  So here we go......

[KayCeeDee]

I know the feeling! I suppose it doesn't hurt to try... I guess I need to tell the doc what my plans are and see what he says. Thanks for posting about your scrip, that helps me to move forward!

[Alix]

Gosh! Don't waste another day!  Life's too short.  Don't want to look back and say "coulda,shoulda,woulda"   get in the game!!!!

[KayCeeDee]

Exactly! I've been doing dress-up and make-up all week and I've been feeling fabulous!

(Except for the razor burn!!!)

I want to encourage you to try to do one thing each day to keep you on track.  It might be buying a new panty, or read an article from a fashion magazine, or groom your brows. Maybe do something w your nails.. whatever it may be!  The idea is to stay in the game and be moving forward.  Don't wish your life away!   Besides doing a little thing everyday keeps you feeling good about yourself and girly too.  Have some fun.  Get on hormones no matter what it takes.  You'll be glad ya did!  Heck in a couple of years you'll look and feel more like the real you!
