I haven't been around too much recently but thought I'd pop in to give a month 9 update.
Not made any major changes to my regime, Tibilone taken between 2.30-3.30pm, Vagifem only 1-2 times per week now and Ovestin externally 3-4 times per week, with a smaller amount (tube lasting around 4 months rather than 3).
Still massively better than I was pre T. Energy excellent, exercising 3-4 times/week, and sleeping brilliantly. Occasionally slightly warm on waking, but I couldn't call it a hot flush as such, and no hot flushes at other times.
Libido, some slight peaks & troughs - what I would call 'pretty normal', more peaks than troughs too!
Still get the odd episode of 'depressive/panic moments', but they do pass quickly. They seem to occur mostly just before bed, and I can now rationalise them quite well and get through them.
Diet seems to effect everything. White wine is still a bit hit and miss and can give me hangover symptoms even after 1 glass, but not always.
I'd never has the 'wobbly' feelings that some of you mention until last month. This was while in London on holidays and ate more meat than usual (was Veggie for 25yrs and fell off the wagon 5yrs ago). At home we're Veggie apart from maybe 2 meals/week and that's mostly fish. I'm not sure if there is a link or not but since coming back home I've not had the feeling again.
Weight hasn't dropped further, but I'm looking and feeling more toned so I'm not unhappy about that.
Skin & hair OK. No increase in body/facial hair since last update.
Joints on the whole better. Occasional lower backache- as I used to get pre meno which was linked to my cycles.
Oh and one other thing ....sass. I've got my sass back, plus my sense of humour seems to have returned. I seem to find more things funny rather than irritating.
So still really positive for me.
