His and Her Health

Am very hopeful after meeting with new doc this past monday. Husband went with me too. Just went for a consult, as she was not taking new patients. While I was telling her "the story", she said she was thinking about changing her practice to concentrate on Hormone issues. Being very shy - I ask her if she was starting that the next day!! ha ha. We ask who she would recommend to take care of the "whole" picture" my husband ask for a female who he felt could better related to my problems.<P>Next thing I new she was telling me to stop the combi patch get a perscription filled, come back in two weeks for blood work - this time really breaking it down the results. I looked at her kinda funny and ask her if she was going to take me on and she knodded yes. <P>Over the next four weeks my med consist of "natural" compounded hormones of Estrogen - progestorine - testosterone. Blood work in two works, bone scan and meet with the doc on Aug 12th. <P>She appeared really upset when I told her about wanting a blood test and got a referral to a Psychiatrist. She was very tactful in her anger I must report. <P>I honestly think she took me because I had been cheated so bad. Her immediate concern what the lenght of time I had been on HRT, the years ahead of HRT and the early onset of the part 1 of the hysterectomy/ovectomy at age 29.<P>Already feel calmer on the new meds - more of a constant feeling versus Highs and lows.<BR>Told DH I realized I had not really felt and had not cried in the last couple of days. <P>Keeping my fingers crossed and waiting for next meeting...<BR>

YES!!!!!! sounds good, you found the right doc. BTW Some of the worst physicians I've had were women so that is not the criteria I would use!
