My best friend is running a half marathon. She runs a lot as it is and is going to do really well. I am super proud of her. I love having a friend like Ann. She pushes me to be a better person and to run more. I am lucky in that regard.
I think....dare I say it...I think that I have found a doctor who will help me with my issues. I met with a new doc yesterday who is fully engaged in my hormone problem. She did another hormone test because as she said, "I have never seen estrogen that high before." That is funny because my old doc who still has yet to call me back said that my results were "normal." I will never see a male doctor again. My symptoms are escalating. I am having weird areas of discomfort in my pelvis. The sciatic nerve pain is getting worse. I am wondering when my new doc gets my estrogen how high will it be? If it is higher can it hit 800 or 900 or even a 1000. It was around 480 in August. By Oct 12 it was 725 so a month later might it be over 800 if it is getting higher at the same pace? I feel like I am in good hands. The best part is that peri-menopause did not come up ONCE in the conversation. Not once. That other donkey kept just insinuating that I am getting old. She did not make me feel that way at all so maybe if she does not believe that, maybe I am not getting that old.
I am losing weight again. I am thankful. It is more than the weight, though. I am eating more veggies again and taking better care of my body. It is hard with the sciatic nerve pain, but I am doing it.
I have a good friend who just started the process of divorce. She has finally decided that she deserves better. Honestly, it is the right thing to do. I just hope she can get through the next 6 months relatively unscathed emotionally. She is a great person, one of the most vibrant women I know. It would be a shame for her to lose that.
