"Would you like me to consult our hormones specialist?"

Would I ... what? After nearly 3 years of hell after being told I was "too old" to be on the pill and my life being topsy turvy because of hormones? After begging for help? For years? Why yes, yes I would like you to consult your hormones specialist.

The doc returned saying that the specialist said I really need to be on an estrogen pill because I need a systemic source of estrogen and the cream isn't cutting it. She said the cream is good for the down there parts but doesn't do much for the lack of estrogen elsewhere.

I've been taking estrogen pills for two weeks and feel like my old self again. Finally. Ffs I am so glad I happened to be there the day the hormones specialist was there.
