Title: It is my Birthday sort of, My DR started me on Estradiol!!!
Post by: Jade_404 on August 14, 2015, 05:09:59 PM
Hi All,

I am soooooo happy right now!  ;D

My Doctor knows me well and was not buying any of the BS that my former therapists was saying. Read here for the long story of how the therapist was treating me if you want https://www.susans.org/forums/index.php/topic,193075.msg1721480.html#msg1721480

For health reasons my Dr wanted me to start HRT months ago, the Therapist was delaying the process. So I am starting on low dose Estradiol, no anti androgen for now. In a month we will look at my blood and see what effects this has on my chronic Lymes Disease. Hopefully it decreases the number of the bacteria, but I think I will need the testosterone blocker for that, them bacteria just LOVE Testosterone.

My Doctor also said that I can find another therapist if I want to, but it is not mandatory! Sweet!

It is my brothers actual birthday today... but now it is also mine :)

Thank you everyone here for the support, love you all!  :-*
