Feeling better with Hormone Therapy

July 2018

July/August,

Feeling better with Hormone Therapy.  It has some pluses and minuses.

Pluses:

• More focused.

• Increased sex drive.
• Less intense hot flashes.

Minuses,

• Only sleeping 5-6 hours per night.
• Returning hot flashes or side effect of sweating via Thyroid meds

When the sweating started becoming more prevalent, I called on my Doctor and she ran my blood work again. My Testosterone levels are good, so no additional pellets needed at this time. She suggested taking 1/2 of the thyroid medication to see if that helps.  I tried taking half a tablet for two with no significant changes, so back to a full tablet.

The doctors say that it could take more than 1 injection to get the full benefits of Pellet Therapy.  At this point, I am likely to give it another round, just to see how it goes.  Will update again as my menopausal symptoms return in a couple months.
