Ok so this weekend I tried injectable estrogen for the first time. I'm trying to save my liver, and this is supposed to help. I had wanted to be done with all the meds by now, but unfortunately it just didn't work out that way.
It hurt a bit, more after the fact than during the shot itself. But today holy f'n shit was I feeling side effects. I had wicked hot-flashes nearly all day. I have never felt like that before. It felt as if my skin was on fire from underneath. I felt flush and distracted and wanted nothing more than to go home strip naked and jump into a tub of ice. By afternoon it calmed down a bit, it wasn't constant at least.
I'm going to have to evaluate things these next two weeks to see if I'm going to continue with this delivery system for hormones. I don't want to hurt my liver, but I also don't want to have the hot-flashes either.
I guess I'm kinda getting what I hoped for though. I've always wanted to feel what it was like to be a real gen female, and now I'm feeling the hot-flashes they get during menopause. I know it's not much, but at least I've tasted it.
I do get tired from time to time of all we have to go through to reach our destinations. Gen gals do nothing but be born, we have to go through hell and back to get to the same place. I am glad that most of the gen gals in my life realize this and haven't given me too much grief. They have seen the hard work I've put into things, they know what I had to give up, and they treat me like one of their own. Thank God for small favors.
Love to all and g'nite. I've gotta go find some ice to chew on.
