First Endo Appointment Tomorrow

[Reyes]

My first appointment with the endocrinologist is tomorrow! And I am both excited and scared to death at the same time.

I've read that sometimes, some doctors prescribe the hormones after only one appointment. I'm not sure if the one I'm going to see falls into that category, but I sure hope so.

Yeah! congratulations. Hope it goes well and you get your hormones!

I was one of the lucky ones and got them after one visit :-) Follow ups where just lab and a phone call to adjust dosage. next face to face visit will be after 6 month...

Prepare yourself: there will be blood.

But seriously, my first visit wasn't so bad.  They took basic vitals to make sure I wasn't about to drop dead right then and there, a bit of a chat with the doc, another chat with the head nurse, and a blood draw.  They called in my prescription that day and I picked them up the next.
