You know, it is funny.

It is supposed to be the introduction of E that is supposed to make us an emotional mess right? So why is it with me that the lack of E is what makes me an emotional mess? lol.

I find that too, especially if I forget to take it. Although, now that I've been on it a while I've got enough in my system that it doesn't happen right away -- but early on, if I forgot I'd go nuts and not be fun to be around. LOL  I actually feel a lot more balanced with the estrogen then I did before... the docs said I was bipolar then to explain the mood swings and so on, but now with the estrogen I don't get like that any more. That was one of the things I first noticed, how balanced I felt.

That is what I told Brooke. She is very empotional, somedays extremely so and one day she said
"can you imagine how much more of a basket case I would be with hormones?"

and my response was,
"heh, have you ever considered you might actually be less of a basket case once on hormones?" 

My Dr. still has me cycling the estrogen so I have an excuse to be a basket case once a month in addition to being blonde heehee.

A deficit of "E" in the system does not seem to affect me too much [thank GOD; I have enough to deal with].

But what really ruined my life and ripped my mind and emotions apart, was "T", even with aggressive estrogen and anti-androgen treatment.

I could not stand it, anymore.

Endogenous "T" is no longer an issue - good riddance.
