Hello!
My name is Debi Ann, I am a 51 yr old m2f transexual.
Back in the late 1980`s, I was recommended by my Psychiatirst to seek help at John Hopkins in Maryland. He might as well have said the moon. I could not get to Maryland, and put things on hold.
After some time I asked my mom, who was taking premarin if she could get me a script. She was a nurse, and knew doctors that would prescribe for her. She was no longer taking hers, so she didnt mind helping me. She got me premarin, and I took it for several years. Then my mom took ill, and her doctor stopped the hormones, thinking they were for her.
I went 4 years without hormones, and it was not fun. My facial hair, which was non-existant, decided to appear, and my voice decided to drop some. How disappointing.
I decided to try to find some local help, and called my local clinic for a breast exam. The lady doc examined me, and asked what she could do for me. I requested she either find me a doc or help me obtain the hormones I needed. She agreed to help me, and returned with a bottle full of premarin. I stayed with this doc for over 5 years, which ended when the clinic told her that I needed to see a specialist. She found a doctor in Indianapolis for me.
I have been with this new doctor over 2 years, and have been taking injectable estrogen, along with spironolactone, and just recently progesterone.
I requested to be put through a puberty stage for more developement, I hope I can gain a little more all around.
I have been in and been hostess of several transgendered groups online over the years, and have decided to come here for insight, support, and friendship.
Looking forward to making some friends in future posts... blessings,
Debi Ann

Hi Rebis!
Yes, I have been living full time for over 5 years.
Had my name and gender status changed 2 years ago.
I work at a College food service, and transitioned while at my job, what an experience! :o
