My New Normal

Here I am.

Minimal hot flashes, minimal night sweats, more mental clarity, ears not as itchy, and the ability to focus more.

Some things that I still experience: feeling like my skin is crawling, the odd rage moment, some instances of insomnia, and I still have depression (lol).

The Estalis is working for me overall, and I am very glad that I sat down with my doctor to discuss how much I was suffering.

We are so fortunate to have choices. It can be unfortunate if you have a doctor that will not listen to you. Having to advocate for yourself is frustrating.

I am extremely lucky. My doctor has been my doctor for over 30 years, delivered my daughter, is a woman, and stays up to date.

If she ever retires, I will be soooooo sad.

In other news, things are still sideways. It’s day by day. There have been some eye opening exchanges.

I am thankful for therapy. Being able to hash things out and know that what I am feeling is valid, is a comfort.

I may cut back to biweekly posts for now, unless something weird happens with my HRT.

So, keep an eye out.

I’ll be updating you as things progress!
