Doctor Prescribed Hormones
Posted: Fri Sep 02, 2005 7:37 pm
Well, it finally happened 
I have my first legal prescription for estrogen. I was able to convince the health center doctor to prescribe it during my visit today.
It seems the main thing he was worried about was the spiro because spiro can carry more risks than estrogen. Now that I don't need spiro anymore, he said he does not mind prescribing estrogen.
I go back to see him next month for some lab work.
I am still going to see my PCP tomorrow in order to meet her and hopefully get SSRIs. Although I could've gotten them from him because another shocker was my insurance covering the estrogen (of course, they won't be covering it anymore after learning what they covered and for whom).
It looks like maybe my time to finally make some real progress is coming
