Day 217 – A Light In The Dark
Hello everyone,
It’s been a few weeks since I posted anything so I thought I’d post an update. I’ve been doing well and my mood is staying much more stable, it seems like the Effexor is working! Over the past few weeks I’ve felt the sensitivity in my breasts coming back and I’ve notice a decrease in my sex drive.
With only a week left until finals I am scrambling to get all of my work done on time. I just got a bunch of online assignments done for my art history class, that is a big load off my back. I am thinking about building a rock climbing wall, or at least a bouldering wall. It would be great exercise for my upper body and especially my legs. Once I am done with classes I will have a lot more time to take pictures and start the process to get my name changed.
I am going to go watch Supernatural now, my girlfriend got my hopelessly addicted to it and I am watching the entire series starting from season one.
Take care!

Day 196 – Endo Appointment
Today I had an appointment with my endocrinologist. I had been taken off estrogen because my prolactin was elevated to 56 which is abnormally high and we needed to see if it was the estrogen causing it. Turns out the anti-psychotic I was put on when I went in the hospital is known to cause raised prolactin levels. I’ve since gone off said drug and my prolactin is now down to a safe 9. My psychiatrist also took me off the anti-depressants I was on and put me on 150mg Effexor. Because my prolactin is a safe level we decided to try going back on the estrogen to see if it stays stable. He put me back on 1mg of Estrace a day and he also upped my dose of Spironolactone to 200mg daily. Right now I am pretty satisfied with where I am. 🙂

Day 190 – Update
Hello,
Things have been going pretty good for me right now. my depression is starting to lessen and I am enjoying life more. Though I am still having trouble in school. Tomorrow I go back to see my psychiatrist to see how my meds are working and on Friday I have another appointment with my endocrinologist. Hopefully I will be able to go back on estrogen but we will see.
Until next time,
Abbey
Day 156 – Update
Hi there, it’s been a few weeks since my last post so I thought I’d give a little update. I’ve been feeling a little better than I have been recently. I’m not sure if it’s because I stopped the estrogen or if it is just a coincidence. At this very moment I am feeling a little anxious, I’m not really sure what to do with myself. Anyways I just wanted to update you, talk to you later.
