Seems like I may have found the right specialist!! So excited for this experiment.

lol i had to look up Amy Cuddy hahaha yeah this week just feels like straight up relapse. #4 by my count. boo! i liked MS better before these started. i just noticed this abstract and thought of you :) A Personal Prospective on Testosterone Therapy in Women—What We Know in 2022 https://www.mdpi.com/...

no kidding!! :O

I'd heard! Hope folks have come thru all right. My entire Canadian family is over your way just now
In other news, had an appointment Monday. Not a complete win, but I think a good step in prep for this Friday. Otherwise, this week is absolute crap - need to turn things around if I can!

(eventually) squeaky wheel is finally getting some grease next Friday!

so i'm *still waiting* for time with a particular local specialist. the good news is, at this point the over the counter E3 cream has really done the trick where it's been applied topically on my problem skin. i *really* want to apply E3 from within. just about done putting the patience in patients...

Jaded! sorry it's taken me almost a week to spot your post. bouncing is going so-so. i need to work on consistent use, multiple short session per day. i'm also going to keep working on the 'balance on one foot for at least 10 seconds' objective. yeah that uhthoff thing shouldn't be as under the rada...

Hi Jaded, an important comment! I haven't spent as much time reading about testosterone yet, but am not setting it aside at all.
