HRT Diary - Month 3 - Day 15

 All good.  Eye thing hasn't happened so far.  I think on day 12/13 I started to feel prickles and tears started to feel a little burning.  But, it went away again.

Apart from that good :-)

HRT Diary - Month 7 - Somewhere, better and honoured

 Massively remiss of me not to write again!!! But for a more positive reason this time.  I feel fine :-) Still taking the two doses of which I believe this is about month 3 of that.  I am on my 3rd cycle of progesterone and I still haven't had a period. Now a bit of me says, maybe this is me just stopping my period... but another bit says I don't believe in coincidence.  It does concern me a little,  as I know women who haven't had children are more likely to get a build up of tissue if they have too much oestrogen than women that have had children (the body is still waiting for that impending baby). This is turn can lead to uterine cancer. I'm bearing with it at the moment as I do have another call with the Doctor in about 3 weeks. So lets see what happens. With regards to my eyes - I am a week free of antihistamine.  I continued to take twice a day for about 2 weeks and then went down to one for a week. Then nothing (fingers crossed) Its at this point I r...

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...
