I have noticed that feeling you discribe...
When your E levels get low you feel like :|

Then you take your shot and your like
;D :D

then you get Nausia, headaches and dizzyness dispite this you still feel giddy and happy like you could puke rainbows and wee sunshine >_<

damn hormones. I've also noticed that I feel more confident and pleased with my appearance after a shot. whitch is quite unusual but it's documented.

It's alittle upsetting well just a tiny bit it kinda hammers it home I AM A TRANSSEXUAL. I'm only happy because I've fixed my endocrine system.

I don't know why you all are avoiding bananas and potatoes.  I am taking Spiro just like everyone else and I enjoy both bananas and potatoes very much.  I have not changed my diet at all and I can honestly say that there has not been any appreciable increase in my potassium levels from one blood test to the next.

When I first started I would get ubber happy when I took me E. As the year has gone by I have calmed down. Now I just get a giddy silly feeling when shot day is here.
