First visit to new endo on Fiday

[Flo]

Hi all

Haven't posted much lately as have been introspective on this whole situation.  Went to the enod clinic here in Toronto on January 23 but wrong doc showed up....bad deal but over it.

Next appt with the one experienced in GID etc is this Friday.  Haven't decided if this is 100% right but I will go any way.

Think if I start HRT and the reasoning behind it, is looking for some sort of balance between the continual "inner-conflict".  I also believe if this is going to happen and I am more comfortable with myself the makeup and fem stuff will go by the wayside.  Basically I love wearing blue jeans and nice cashmere sweaters but have resorted lately to more makeup, nail polish  etc., trying to be something I am but can't be?

But maybe that's not really me...make sense?

Don't know what I am trying to convey...I know a ton of GG who don't wear makeup, or get dressed to the nines, and are very happy.  There would still be a few things...i.e. I hate body hair...but maybe not as many trying to prove myself?

36 hours...still pondering.

Forever

Hi Flo,

You know what they say about talking to yourself...

It's getting harder to keep up with all the posting these days, and I alway regret missing someones post like this..

...I suppose what surprised me was your original comment about not being sure you wanted to start HRT. As I always thought we needed to be sure to get the approval....

Still I'm glad you feel happier now...maybe it was just the nerves talkin' ?

Thanks much all...and yes I always talk to myself to much, but never answer!

Had my first dose of E yesterday, exciting to start this journey after so many years.  Although no effect some level of happiness just to be on the road.

Take good care

Flo

Gee Flo i missed this post too, oh well congrats are in order on geting your hrt. Are you seeing a therapist, most Dr.s won't prescribe hrt till you have been in therapy for a certain amount of time. I assume you are taking Spiro, i take other bp meds too and my bp dropped pretty low and i would get lightheaded after exercising so the others had to be adjusted and I'm fine now. but i see the Dr. already adjusted those, but for awhile keep a close eye on how you feel.**HUGS**
