So far I have not been disappointed.

Things are definitely afoot!
Been a bit sick as the body reacts, headache and feeling odd.
The chest starts with an itch and now a little more. ;)
E is amazing stuff. ;D

Have made a follow up appointment for next month, so lets see what happens.
I would like to get off the low dose and onto AA's as well.

So long and thanks for all the fish

I had to take the day off today and decided to go back and see my GP who has been so very helpful.
OMG what a difference was her comment to me as she really could see just how much things have changed in only a month since I last saw her.
All the stress and anxiety has gone and I am at peace with myself. All from a little tablet?
So much calmer and happier as well.

I mentioned to her how quickly things happened and she reassured me that it was due to sending me to the right person as I did leave it up to her judgment in the first place. Seems like a very wise move looking back at it now.
I was a bit sick to start with as a reaction for the first week as my body adjusted but I was reassured that this was normal.
Small steps as I hope to get an increased dose of E at my next Endo appointment and T blockers as well.
It seems so much now to look forward to instead of just being miserable every day.

Why did I wait so long to do this? Fear and denial I suppose like us all.
Anyway I feel so much happier now the E has kicked in and look forward the "Him" slowly receding.

I wish it could be so easy for others here and you didn't have to wait years or have to face the Spanish inquisition but this is Oz.

Take care all

A very happy Jenny.
So long and thanks for all the fish

Jenny, very good for you & it is so pleasant to see a young girl move forward. I'm sure it has been one long struggle in life. I've been there & done that as they say. You should feel better & better each day as the T goes away & the E is pleasantly used by your body. Mentally you also feel better & more confident.

My sincere best to you.
