Hey all-
I've been away for a while, and i miss you all. Thought i would give anyone interested an update, and maybe use this post as a step in the direction of coming back to this resource that has done so much for me without most anyone knowing anything about it.
To start with, the reason I've been gone for a while is because i hit a bump in the road of transition (big surprise to those of you ahead of me in this process, right? LOL). I was supposed to be starting hormones a little while ago, and I let myself get over excited, and stopped keeping my expectations real. Therefore, when i got a call from my doctor telling me that i had a thyroid problem that I would HAVE to address before HRT could happen, i was a little let down. But, I kept my chin up, and i scheduled an appointment with another doctor to address the issue as soon as i could. I was able to get in pretty quick, and I got my hopes up again. He said i needed an MRI to make sure there were no growths causing my thyroid to act up, and started me on some pills in the mean time. 3 days later, i got a call saying that the MRI had to be after i had been off said pills for 40 or so days. *groan* I stopped taking the pills, we scheduled an appointment for a much later date, and i played the waiting game. Finally, i got to the day of my appointment, got my tests (over 2 days and 3 appointments actually) and finally i arrived where i am at now. I am now waiting for a call from my dr. tomorrow to tell me whether i can start taking my thyroid meds again, and whether i have cancer basically.
Sorry for unloading, i just needed to get this out there, in a place where people care, and understand my frustrations.
I love you all, and thank you for listening to my rant.
