Hi all,
Its been awhile since I added an up date on myself.
Well the big thing that happened (or 2). I found a helpful therapist to get me back in line and get me ready for RLT. I had a talk with him about my now ex-endo and the problems I was having and my concerns. He inturn found me a new HRT dr.
WEll, first the Dr wanted to do a good blood test, and get my estrogen and T levels, as well for the colesterol,liver, ect.
He also wamted a letter to start HRT. Well this was a first for me. Seeing that I when I found my endo, I did have a therapist at that time. I have been seeing him for 7 yrs. So, both my new DR and Therapist got me inline with Benjimins rules. Like I said, a first with me, because I didnt know about Benjimin when I started.
Well, last week I went to see my new HRT Dr for the results, and what he was going to do the fix it if something was not right. Well he toldme that my levels were in male levels(and this was after 7 yrs on momes!!!) I knew something was off, but I didnt think it was that bad. So, my ex endo was screwing me for atlest 6 yrs. My new dr told me he would fix that and get my levels to where they should be, to feminize. This is I have to stay on spiro, and he switched me to injections for estrogen. For the next 4 weeks once a week I have to go in for a big shot( more than reg) to speed up the levels.
Then he'd do another test and see how it was working, and make changes then.
Well thats about it right now.

Well congrats I am glad you have the right Dr. now I had to keep on my Dr. untill I finaly got passed and showed him the rules for Benjimin's standard of care even the results from other findings well that led me to finding another endo who bombed the hell out of me at first when I told my theripest and phycoligest (sp?) it pissed them off well the Dr isnt getting anymore buisness from them any more
got to admit it didnt take long to feel the difference
again congrats
