Hi Iaboy, Things seem to be better, thank you for asking.
I had two blood tests that week, the Wednesday test was for my HRT baseline and the Friday test was for the issues mentioned above. Wed-test came back normal across the board but Fri-test came back with some liver levels wayyy above normal (highest was 10x).
Doc ordered ultra-sound for kidney, liver, and bladder. I asked for another blood test since there was such a difference between the two tests. To play it safe, I've only been drinking water or Tazo tea, as well as stopped taking all supplements and NBE herbs (except milk thistle).
Find out if there's anything going on, hopefully by the end of next week. But this little hiccup brought about a few revelations: I found out my doctor was willing to start my HRT right away (opposed to late spring/summer). Even though I had only just started PM, being off for a couple weeks, my energy/mood levels dropped significantly.
I also discovered just how much transition truly means to me. Even if the bridge is out, I'll carry on and find a way to cross the barrier.
Anyway, thank you for asking. I'll post an update when I know more. Take care and smile often!
