You're a wee soul, Menomale! (Throwing more Scottish at you there)!  xxxxx

I'm flopped on the bed just now having just applied my gel, Annie. It's drying almost on contact in this heat so I'm not sure how that effects absorbtion! 

By day 9 last time, I noticed quite an appreciable difference on 1 pump. I always get wired on it at first, so as I really need to be using something I will need to go very slowly.

I'm seeing my Endocrinologist next Wednesday and he really wants to see me back on a low dose of estrogen at least as it helps insulin resistance. I am having my 4 hour glucose tolerance test done then and sincerely hope i haven't already developed insulin resistance! I'll be gutted as I eat very healthily too (I know Abby's consultant put her on Metformin to address this, and this is a great part of how she's managed to lose a good deal of weight now). xxxxx

just catching up.Tempest you sound almost like a native ans Edlweisa, * spellcheck - i like it better * you have made me laugh so much with your descriptions that I've just abour to wet myself.Gives a whole new meaning to camel toe  ( or just my luck,  moose's knuckle when I start on the big T. So a wee badly Scottish wummin who has an interesting front bottom appendage and speaks like Brian Blessed ( or maybe even Rab C Nesbitt)

[Tempest]

Moose's knuckle.......

Michele, are you back seeing Perera privately if you don't mind my asking? If you do manage to get the T from him, then I'm booking to see him. I know I saw him before at Stobhill but honestly - I'm going around in circles. No one else can or will consult at distance except Studd. I have to book a £125 consultation with one lady before she'll  even tell me if she would be able to issue a prescription! Whew! I'm not a bottomless pit of cash.....!

If he's obliging, I'll try hardest to raise my Estrogel dose over a few weeks. I need the T - I know my levels are super low and I think it's what's missing regarding my well being, mood and energy.

I liked Perera - he was very pleasant and jolly - and handed me a lot of paper hankies when I was having a good bubble! xxxxx

No problem Tempest. I'm due to see him next Saturday at the Nuffield. He didn't seem to have any issue with prescribing it but said to see how I get on with the oestrogel and utrogestan ( not very well but I'm going to speak to him about moving to long cycle) before maybe adding it to the mix.

Waited nearly 50 mins to pick up my prescription at docs today following telephone consultation on Wednesday- he left prescription or wrong stuff and they kept me waiting for yonks before eventually givnng me right script. I complained to practice manager but I'm changing my practice when I'm feeling better ( probably never! )

I'll let you know how I get on xxx

[Otes73]

Hi everyone!

I've not been on for a few days so catching up 

I started my T 4 weeks after the oestrogel with no problems/side effects at all.

Hope everyone's enjoyed the sunshine today!

[Tempest]

Flippin' GP's, Michele! As soon as I get my DEXA result, I'm changing mine!

I'm sure Dr. P will work with you - I felt he had a lot more empathy than the Consultant I'm seeing now, and that goes a long way with me! I hope things go very well at your appointment. xxxxx

Hooray, Otes! I'm so glad you're getting along well with the T! Please do give us progress updates, won't you? xxxxx

[babyjane]

I think it is a shame that so many of you are having to pay for what ought to be available from your GPs 

[Tempest]

It's awful, BJ! I can't even get Vagifem out of mine.

Anyway, BJ - how has your week been? Are you keeping OK at the moment? xxxxx

[babyjane]

yes thanks, just limiting time online as having problems with back and shoulders.  I have CFS and there have been mutterings over the years about Fibro but I don't fit all the criteria for that so it has never been formally diagnosed like the CFS. The last 3 months have been too busy and I want to feel better for our holiday in 3 weeks time 

[edelweiss]

Tempest can you get DMs today? xxx

[Tempest]

Certainly can, Edelweiss! Lots of catching up to do too! Just got I pad back from DS. xxxxx

[Tempest]

Bless your heart, BJ! Yes - rest as much as possible. I hope your holiday gives you a boost! Hugs! xxxxx
