Finally heard from the Doc

[MackenzieB]

Finally got a reply from the Doc about the recent bout of lab tests. Their server crashed and he wasn't able to receive or send email for a few days. He was having issues with my testosterone being through the roof but hadn't received all of the results yet. My last visit he drew yet another sample for free testosterone and shbg (sex hormone binding something that the T binds with).

We played email tag a few times today regarding the results and I eventually got fed up and asked what the final outcome was going to be, and if he had any idea of a timeline as the results looked pretty good even with the high t level. This was his final email. (truncated cause the whole thing goes back for weeks).

Hi Caitlin

I was considering referring you to an endocrinologist but given your normal FSH, LH and free testosterone levels, I don't think there is anything more he will do especially given that you want to suppress the testosterone anyway.

Why don't you make an appointment and we can get you started.

So it looks like I'll finally be getting back on Hormones again. It's been about 5 years of jumping through hoops, Docs who didn't feeling like doing anything about a moderate increase in bp but stopped my hrt (no spiro then). I've had to completely restart from the beginning with GT's a couple of times due to moving etc...

Caitlin:

FINALLY, Girl!

Christalmighty, they've put you through it, and, frankly, I really don't understand why they're doing you this way. HRT is not rocket science. All they need to do is dose you, blood test you and titrate you. Easy as that. Anyway, glad they're letting you rock hormone replacement therapy ... at last!

Heck, "lay down the law" and politely demand that they clear you. Injectables, huh? Gonna mainlin estradiol? Far out! Now, THAT'S a party! Best buzz you'll ever experience, babes.

ROCK ON!

Hugs & Peace Lacey Lynne

Hope to see ya soon.

Hi Caitlin,

WOOT WOOT!

This has been the most drawn-out process in the world! I'm so happy for you!

Now, what are you going to do with your time without spending hours going back and forth to doctors and labs?

Love, Meg
