HRT Diary - Month 3 - Day 10 - SKIN!!!

 Here I am.  Day 10 of month 3 already. Everything good. Still wondering about the brain fog thing. I think it has got better. So difficult to determine. According to the time of the month I should be due for my eyes to start playing up shortly... Reason for this post is its suddenly dawned on me how good I feel my legs are looking. I know they are brown, but this time last year they were also brown.  But I wasn't going out in cut down jeans like I am now. I am 5'9. I was never a boobs girl. It was all about my legs and something I have definitely felt the loss of as I have aged. I had a conversation about 4 weeks ago with my best friend in John Lewis when I saw a lovely short dress and commented I just wouldn't wear it anymore as my legs weren't good enough anymore. She said I should wear what I want and I get the point.... but I wouldn't have felt happy. Last year, I had been running consistently and they had a good shape.  They were also brown. Because last year ...

Approaching a year of HRT and where I am and the benefits

 A flurry of posts!! Medication Daily - 3 pumps of Lenzetto oestrogen  and 2 pea size blobs of Testim testosterone and 2 weeks on 2 weeks off of 2 tablets Utrogestan progesterone at night. My testosterone level test came back as optimal and to continue with the dose I was doing. I  have been on 3 pumps of Lenzetto for about 10 days now and within 3 days the effects were already apparent. Feel more flexible, no heat at night, more hydrated and I have just started to think my skin feels really soft again. Bloody amazing.  Absolutely no sign so far of the Histamine Intolerance starting again, which has crossed my mind may happen with the dose increase. I am still having regular periods. I am not in menopause.... I still talk about this to anyone that will listen. Lady or man (yes I mention it on business lunches) with the men it has never been received badly in fact they are super interested and ask lots of questions to pass on to their wives. It affects everybody!...

HRT Diary - Month 10 early - Testosterone good but things starting to fade...

 Things have been ticking along nicely. People have asked me what the testosterone has done and I couldn't specifically tell you.  I just have a sense its balanced everything. I am no longer getting any side effects from the oestrogen. Not a hint of histamine intolerance. My eyes haven't flared once and haven't taken any any antihistamine for a couple of months. My memory is good. Well what I would call good, more maybe I should say back to normal. I no longer forget words at all.  What I have noticed though over the last maybe 2 months is I feel some of the really noticable effects that I had when initially taking the HRT have gone.  I feel exceptionally stiff again and maybe a little joint pain. But mainly stiffness in my back muscles and everywhere. Yoga no longer fills me with joy. Also whilst I wouldn't quite say I am having night sweats.  I have woken up a few times in the night being very hot. Now I think about it.... I am also feeling dehydrated again. M...
