Don't Quit Your Hormones

We have all heard and read the same advice, "don't quit your hormones if you have been on them awhile". Well guess what? No really make a guess. That one didn't count, too easy, try again. Yes I dropped my hormones nine days ago. I returned from the doctors office a few hours ago. Katie told me to get back on the hormones, contact my transition doctors, Diana or Marlene and remember what I had been told about quitting hormones. If one has been on them for awhile don't just quit cold turkey.
I was swelling up like an overfilled water balloon. Water retention had got out of control. So..., like a good little chastised puppy, I returned home and took my hormones. I'll contact one of my trans care docs and see about tapering off. I'm getting off the old school idea of Harry Benjamin hormones and going to Dr. Powers schedule. Of course everyone can be prepared for me to give a full report how that works out after six months more or less.
Thank God I have support as a lot of the girls don't have this. I wish everyone a life no matter where in the spectrum of heterosexual, LBGT you may fit. My God doesn't make any mistakes but we mortals seem to be able to mess up no matter how good the initial plans were.
When we finally know everything, we realize we know nothing.
