Staring Spyro With My E After 8 Months Hrt :)

Well, just a short and sweet note..

My meds have now been modified today by my endo' after 8 months of HRT, I am doing very well just with estrogen alone (microgynon) and my breasts have now reach a middle B cup... and have gained a bit of bum fat lol :lol:

Still, I am going to trial spyronolactone (a type of anti-androgen) with it, apparently I have to watch my potassium intake?

I go back to my endo for a checkup in 4 weeks..

Wish me luck! :D:)

Well, you let us know how it goes after your next check up.

It sounds like you are making pretty good progress already.

Listen to Doctor Sally, if your endo said to watch your potassium intake - you watch your potassium intake!

Don't forget to post more landscapes!

Love ya,

Sally

LOL congrats on the caboose :rolleyes: it's always nice when it goes where it's supposed to be.Who'da thunk to watch potassium...I googled potassium rich foods and I guess that would be a way for me to diet half my caloric intake would be removed...I'd probably start looking like a concentration camp victum again in no time at all<sigh>...great news though all around and please, yes, DO keep the pictures forthcoming.Huginahug, Kelly Ann

Love the Squal line!

I'd have to travel for about 7 hours to get to anywhere that had anything close to that scenery - I hope you appreciate the wonderful part of the world you live in!

Love ya,

That pic with the lightning is both awesome and beautiful! I love your photos!

Whoa...watch out for the potassium. I know that too little potassium can cause you to have a heart attack. That's serious stuff!

Your photography takes my breath away - you must keep showing us this grand beauty you find! :o

And secondly, you young people make me jealous with you ability to transition on HRT. :D Congrats on your new regimen - and I am so glad everyone knows you are under supervision. Funny, I have an endochronologist (diabetic) but he doesn't have a clue about how to treat TS. I had to go to an ObGyn as my prescribing physician. He will make me have annual mammograms. True story. :P

I would warn all readers that because one person is told something by a physician, it may not apply across the board. Please be cautious not to make radical changes in your diet without consulting your doctor. YMMV - Your mileage may vary. :rolleyes:

Potassium? It is an agent that I understood aggrivates heart problems. But Wikipedia says differently:

Potassium in the diet

Adequate intake can generally be guaranteed by eating a variety of foods containing potassium and deficiency is rare in healthy individuals eating a balanced diet. Foods with high sources of potassium include orange juice, potatoes, bananas, avocados, tomatoes, broccoli, soybeans, brown rice, garlic and apricots, although it is also common in most fruits, vegetables and meats. Diets high in potassium can reduce the risk of hypertension and a potassium deficiency combined with an inadequate thiamine intake has produced heart disease in rats.

So it must be because in the interaction of your new prescription. ;)

I love the photos! I've always loved storm photography.

You should watch the potassium. That's all I'll say so I don't get in trouble for medical advice. But I am a pharmacist. If you do have any questions, ask your local pharmacist.

That is so woonderful. I hope to start HRT this year but as we all know I need the cash. So I am saving up to get the letter completed. Then off to the Endo. I hope it works as well for me as it does for others. Thank you for sharing.

      Yes,I hate that     Also finding out I might be father of a 24 year young lady.I had an one night stand with a woman off base when I was in the army.Called this afternoon and said I am possibly the father of her now 24 year old daughter.Told her I will agree with a paternity test that will be done.

      Yeah.  I like Nebula, that was where I watched it.   I posted the YouTube cause I figured more people could see it.

      We agree on most of this... and the church/state thing is kind of a tangent anyways. Oops. LOL   I think it has long been established that all different kinds of groups have access to public funds. In my opinion, either everybody has access or nobody does. I would prefer "nobody."   Relying on public funds gives the government the power to take it away, and puts that power in the hands of whatever group controls the government at the moment... the news article that is the topic of this thread shows a clear example of that happening.  Organizations trust government at their peril.
    • DonkeySocks
      Fantastic news! Thank you for updating us.
    • Davie
      More info on Abigail Thorne here: https://go.nebula.tv/philosophytube and, Dracula's ex-girlfriend, on Philosophy tube.   "The reason why Nebula is so cheap for what it is, is because there's no upper hierarchical group looking yo skim off the top. Imagine how much cheaper EVERYTHING could be if it was like that for every other service or product; if the money went straight to workers, not up a chain of command until it reached someone who did exactly "jack" to produce what's being sold.

      I'm aware that the young US ended up fighting a war with these people, and that phrase was not meant to address Church & state.  But somebody was willing to include it at the time.   I am also aware that your family arrangements would not go over well with most christian nationalists.  But that is kinda where I'm coming from on this.  I believe you and others of us with an unconventional lifestyle should be free to live as we desire - as long as we are not hurting anyone else.  And by "hurting" I don't mean only their feelings.   Using christianity to justify oppression is just wrong.  As is forced conversion, or forced conversion therapy.   Regarding public funds, LGBTQetc people have as much right to them as straight-cis folks.  I'm not arguing that queer people have more rights, just equal rights.

      Even better news:  It turns out for my sister it was cardio not stroke. She’s put on new blood thinner and sent home. False alarm! Yay.

      Things have changed since I've been on HRT for about 15 years. The consequence is I am not so concerned about how I present all the time.  I wear t-shirts a lot. I am pragmatic in how I shop. No, I don't want to look male, but will buy some male clothing because it fits. I am tall and built like a football linebacker, so buying women's clothes that fit can be difficult. For one I have no problem buying men's sneakers if they can pass as unisex. I wear size 12-13 women's shoes. And that can be hard to find. And, I don't like wearing slacks without pockets. I use pockets for work.    I've learned to be pragmatic. I dress up when I want to go out in public, and not so much at work. I do have a favorite blouse that accentuates the girls. And one blue striped blouse where I wear a cami top.

      https://www.patheos.com/blogs/danthropology/2016/05/secularists-please-stop-quoting-the-treaty-of-tripoli/   ^^^ an interesting piece about the treaty, written by an atheist.   I totally understand why the Christian nationalist stuff makes people uncomfortable. For me, it is uncomfortable in a different way, as modern Christian nationalism is not nearly as "generic" as the views of the Founders.  Its specifically Evangelical.  I'm in a plural marriage, so definitely not approved of.    I believe the intent of the Founders was to uhold generic Christian ideas... "in God we trust" and "there's a God who created the world and He wrote ten commandments for us" sort of stuff.  Nothing beyond that, nothing specific enough to use against folks.

      Free?!?!  That's insane.  I can understand perhaps mistaking somebody's well equipped garage as a business, but demanding free work is ridiculous.   My GF once remarked that while few things in life are free, butt-kickings are an exception. She offers those free-of-charge, to any who ask. A little charity helps the world go round 🤣

      I had a CDL when I was working for the city.  But I let it go when I retired.  I couldn't justify paying so much just to drive myself around.
    • Ivy
      While I'm sure the "Founders" had the 30 years war, etc. on their minds, they didn't write the constitution as considering only Christian sects. The early colonists (I used the word) did mostly come from areas of "christian culture" but it's hard to reconcile some of their actions with what Christ himself taught.   Christians have a right to their beliefs, but there are a lot of American citizens that do not consider themselves "christian."  I have seen writings where the US was specifically said not to be a "Christian Nation". "The 1797 Treaty of Tripoli that sought to secure America from attacks by the so-called Barbary pirates who were Muslim made a point to say that the United States "is not in any sense founded on the Christian Religion.""    It shouldn't be difficult to understand why the "Christian Nationalist" movement makes some of us uncomfortable.
