I think that the lapsed security certs have kept people away, thankfully these have now been fixed and hopefully more of us will feel able to contribute.

Yup I was lurking just not logging in and commenting until certs were corrected.

As time has moved on, I continue to be more and more comfortable with how my body has changed through the years. There was a time when I had quite a bit of body hair. These days only small, thin patches remain and very light and short peach hair on my arms and legs completely devoid of any hair. Women would kill for my silky smooth legs. My body has changed in other areas as well due to the stew of feminine hormones that course through my body. I have a close woman friend who commented at the rate I am going, in about 200 years I will have completely transitioned! Sure seems like it.

I wouldnt mind that a bit IMO. 

I am in a constant state of flux now, and am feeling much different now with the spiro kicking in.  The changes are very desirable.

You mentioned the changes.  I hope it improves your health and way of life.

What type of changes have you had given this short time?  All for the best I hope.

Year start is kind of shaky. I'm down to a 44" band size with weight loss (44 F).

Ultrasound results came back with a tumor on my liver, so MRI next month. 
Rather cold and concise explanation by my doctor. That if the tumor is benign we will schedule to have it removed just for safety sake because it can turn cancerous in the future, however if the tumor is malignant this Medical Center treats all forms of liver cancer with Comfort Care only because of the very low curability and life expectancy of liver cancer. Liver cancer metastasis is almost guaranteed, and cancer will sprout up all over. 

Just hoping the tumor is benign. 

Still on a waiting list for an apartment in Oregon. 

I feel great! So taking everyday for what it is.

I truly wish the best for you Justagirl.  I hope and pray the results come back favorably. 

Like you said we don't know what we don't know.  Keep going on day by day.  We're all here for you.

[WPW717]

Stay positive 
My wife had a radiology expose a ‘ lesion ‘ it eventually turned out to be an arteriovenous malformation and some associated fibrosis. Occasional discomfort but more risky to treat than not. Been that way for years.

Wishing you all the best and keeping you in my thoughts

BP is back up dispite the 50mg.    I wonder if my body is fighting me. 

[Dudewithboobs]

Just I hope the test results come back benign and there is no true long term or short term concern and a clean bill of health is provided and assurance of it. Sorry to hear the year is starting shaky and hope it settles down quickly and is smooth sailing forward. 

John, it is interesting how time goes by whether slow and quick in the changes of things how many of us welcome it rather fight against the currents of the river of hormonal changes. There are days or weeks it feels I’m 18 again and raging hormones. Then those weeks or days come to a close and changes that continue, kick back in.

Taxmapper,  I hope you can get things regulated again.  It is does bring on some concerns and some health problems for you also I'm sure. 
I hope you figure it out.

[taxmapper]

there may be another factor involved.  the BP cuff i am using is giving erratic readings.  Last night and this am, I measured three times and had 145+ on the first two and 121 on the third last night.  Similar results this am.  

so I am looking at a new bp cuff first.   See if the erratic readings are due to that.   

In the mean time, I think the Spiro is taking effect in more ways than one as the bras are now feeling tighter. 

[AlfaQ]

You need to sit quietly and try to relax for atleast 10 mins when taking BP.  The first result is always the highest due to initial anxiety.   Empty your bladder and also wait a couple of hours after eating.  You probably don't need a new cuff as BP can vary quite a bit. 

[Parity]

That is true for me.  I often take a couple readings and know the later one is most likely the correct and true one. 

I do watch mine and haven't had to adjust medication in a long time. 
Hope you get it figured out.
ha worrying about it will raise it also.
