After about forty five minutes, I arrived at Nova Health to receive my first natural hormone treatment. I was kinda nervous at first because I had never met this doctor, but after talking to him, it didn't seem so bad. Of course my mind has been on my daughter's recovery but I listened the best I could to what he was telling me about my blood work . No surprise , my hormone levels were exactly north and south of each other, which explained so much. All else was normal, thankfully.
I had to give him a short list of the medications I was taking, really didn't phase him to know I had High Blood Pressure and on an Antidepressant.
For many years my family wanted me to try to get off of antidepressants and with this treatment, the possibility is good, so I asked him "How long had a patient of his been on an antidepressant and had they been able to come off with this treatment?" ''Good Question..Good Question" he replied. I have to tell ya I get very few "Good Questions" in during the day, so this was so ego-boosting!
While this conversation was going on, I had to lay on my side and expose my upper right bottom-end. Now to understand this, I must tell you, I hate exposing anything of my body in public, let alone in a doctor's office, but in order to insert this treatment (About the size of a grain of rice) it needed to be placed there.
Even when I went to have my tonsils out at five, I fought to keep my undergarment on. I was only five, so that was normal..I think?
Anyway, my grandfather was right "You loose All Modesty In The Hospital", Doctor's office too and you would think after having surgeries and kids, it wouldn't bother me. It did, the doctor had to push my hand away from pulling up my slacks when I thought he was done, when he wasn't. All I could think of was how much I hadn't changed in that respect.
All and all, its a great treatment and I am starting to feel a difference, so if anyone is thinking about having natural hormone replacement done...thumbs up. Of course I just started but so far its wonderful. As for depression, the promise that I can come down off of it looks good, he said, but I have to take it slow and with supervision of my regular physician.
As for feeling blue, I won't ever feel some relief until my daughter gets back to normal.
