Well Francis, it would appear that we are near the same town. Audrey Jo Taylor was referred to Gary Smith in Bellvue and said he was listed with TVALS but I haven't heard if she went to him or not. That's one reason I haven't gotten more aggressive about finding someone else-I just don't know anything about the physicians in Nashville as I live in - well just east of Nashville. Bellvue is a long ride for me but I guess I could leave from work and go as I work in N'ville.
Let me know what you find out or decide to do-I am looking for a new doctor and therapist too.

Randi, do not waste any time or $ with Birmingham. Worse city I've ever seen for us. $150 an hour for nothing from "therapist" joke/scam.

Randi,
Gary Smith in Nashville shows a general practice MD. When you can, can see if this is the same doctor & if he is the one that is friendly to MTF for hormone trerapy??? I will call his office tomorrow & try to find this answer.

Someone is fighting me electronically today-at work and at home where I am now. I guess it's the devil doing it! I had a response almost ready then things go @$#$%#%^^.-go figure. If it ain't the devil its .... I'm gonna do this one way or the other so you may as well let me type this!!!!!
Anyway, where was I, If I had to go to B'ham I would start diy again. I don't want to do it that way now as I want to do it thru proper channels and have a verifiable source of estrogen. I know the E I was using before was real enough to give me what I needed but I could not verify it's content nor where it was made-that I did not like.
I had a bad meeting with my doctor and started diy in earnest then. I had already been stealing patches from my wife's supply which by the way did not keep her from getting it when she needed it. I have to do this the right way for my own peace of mind.
As you can probably tell, I have not been vigilant nor aggressive about my progress. It has been totally my own personal experiment and I have studied, made changes, and seen results that if I were more diligent could have been documented but were not. I am taking just one day at a time and trying to 'muddle' thru this with my sanity intact-I'm having good days and a few bad ones-but mostly good ones.
I see you responded already. The listing on the TVALS site probably means that one of their members was going to him, but I am assuming that. I was going to contact the TVALS but got busy and never went to check them out further. I would like to meet someone else who shares our situation but must be careful and I don't have much money to be going places.
