Give me the news.
So today I went back to see the same, new to me, G.P. I saw previously, she of the optimistic testing. Turns out I don’t hate her, she seems nice and very thorough, see I am less cynical and on the brighter side of life.
I am starting HRT! Yey! It seems like such an occasion, a milestone, I am finally a grown up woman! None of the old crone, dried up prune, older woman for me, I will moan and grump a little less as I embrace the magic of the therapy. I do not begrudge the loss of my fertile self, I’ve been through with reproduction ideas for too long and periods, well fuck me who needs them!
Blood tests revealed I am a little low in iron and vitamin D, well that doesn’t surprise me, its winter and I haven’t been eating much( why am I getting fatter?). I am to take some supplements, well ok then, I am a believer in getting vitamins and nutrients naturally and don’t really believe anymore in supplements, as they are unregulated and can be misleading, but hell I won’t say no.
On the whole this was a positive appointment, I am feeling optimistic and feel I have been listened to and helped by this G.P, way to change my mind, I don’t have hope in rheumatology referral or the pain clinic, but at least she did something.
So here’s to HRT, lets see if it is helpful?
I will keep you informed.
