well get ready to get really tired and sleepy even if you had 12 hours of sleep!
I remember in September, 07, I was falling asleep in the daytime(SOO sleepy). But now I'm used to it and I have normal sleep patterns...

Wow Alice, that's a surprise. I'm glad that you've finally chosen a direction.
Now, if you start getting all emotional, you can blame the little pill.

Dear Alice, Congratulations on taking this important step in your journey!
I'm hoping all goes well for you. It has for me even though I was slightly nauseous for the first week after starting. Now, almost 1½ years later, I know it has been the right choice. I'm sure you will find your right choice too.
Hugs & smiles

Thanks Tink :icon_hug:
it has been such a long journey to get here I would love to write a book just on the decision. The books I have been reading do not go into this period of their lives deeply enough to show the angush and terror they experienced. Today I have been looking back at all the times I was say 'I will never transistion' and what got me to this point. I may write somehting on this subject soon.
