Saw Dr Christy today. (Naturopath). Got the results of my hormones. And yup, they are DOWN! So down. All of them except my night cortisol which is up - but should be down. She suggested two routes - herbal or bio-identical hormones. I said oh no, go straight to the bios. I don't want to work for months and months with herbs to try and only in the end still end up on bios. Besides I have insurance that should cover the bios but will not cover herbals.
She did give me some vitamins/herbs to up my cortisol levels. She can't give the testosterone cream. But can prescribe estrogen and progesterone. Hopefully with using those two and the vitamins/herbs all my levels will come up and balance out. Then it will help me feel much better.
That along with AIP, making my inflammation come down, I will be in wonderful health!!
I don't know how to feel about that. I have been thinking on the health - being healthy issue. I keep rolling around the thoughts I wrote about before. What would my life be like if I was completely healthy? What would I do? Guess there's still work to do. Have an appointment with Joan tomorrow.
Kitties are doing well. Star is better - still leery, but around. I'm still wiped and basically passed out after the antibiotic - 3 times a day. Just 2 more days of the pills.
Have my bone ultra sound this week on Wednesday. Will be interested to learn those results - will have to wait tho til... I think March. See Dr P then.
Don't really have anything else today.
That's it then!
Ta. 😺
