  1. Well, good news. I just took a Covid at home test, and it came back negative! This upper respiratory infection is just a cold or bronchitis, with a probable secondary sinus infection. I'll take that any day over another bout with Covid. 🎉

  2. Guess it's a sinus infection. Yes, mucus color means something. So, let's see. This started originally around August 25. That's 12 days ago. But green mucus made its appearance today. So do I give it another week or two?

    "Green mucus
    Your immune system is really fighting back and your mucus is thick with dead white blood cells. If you’re still sick after about 10-12 days, you may want to see a doctor."

    Deeply disturbing, frightening. I'd not encountered the "no quarter" black flag before. This article on DailyKos explains what it is and what it means.

  9. CW: Medical TMI, spoonie, prostate health

    Today I am going in to have a cystoscopy procedure, in anticipation of an (as yet unscheduled) TURP. Yes, I am a woman who has a prostate, and it is highly enlarged. I've also had unexplained bleeding from my urethra which suggests bladder and/or kidney stones.

    All good wishes are welcomed.

  10. Hello, have I reached the party to whom I am speaking?

    Dialing in on the phone on Mefi: JanetLand posted WaPo's guide to modern phone etiquette, while in Ask Metafiler, Rash wants to know why you hold your phone like that, and niicholas is looking for songs with land-line telephone sounds. ☎

  11. Got my first blood work back after starting #estradiol #transdermal 0.05mg/day on 14-November. Holidays delayed my labs a bit, as did the whole #AFib mess.

    TL;DR: The E level was too low. As in 26.0 pg/mL. A new Rx for 0.1mg/day weekly has already been sent to the pharmacy. I'm guessing it will be next week before that comes in.

    I'm self paying for my patches, from a (walking distance) pharmacy. GoodRx is going to save me a bit as well. Insurance is tier 3.

  12. Woke to #migraine #aura in progress. PCP prescribed #sumatriptan last week because of a recent increase in frequency. So, I just took my first ever dose of a #triptan . We'll see.

  13. Given the extreme variability in my emotions since beginning patches, I agree that's highly likely.

    Test again after 6 weeks. Move to two twice weekly patches then if warranted.

  14. I got the results from the retest of my E level. It was 33, on day 6 of a weekly patch (0.1 mg.day). The doctor changed my Rx to (same level) but twice weekly.

    She was of the opinion that "weekly patches don't really last a week" and I was likely experiencing significant peaks and valleys.

  15. Quote from the doctor:

    "Prolactin levels may be increased in transgender women who are taking both estrogens and an antiandrogen. High prolactin levels can cause headaches, problems with eyesight, and low bone density."

    As for the estrogen? I already knew it was too low. I've been weepy and overly emotional since going on the patch. I anticipate hearing from the doctor about an Rx change for my patches.

  16. Followup to missing estradiol level:

    There "was a problem" with my E level last week. I went in for a new draw yesterday, and got the results this morning.

    My level is 33 pg/mL. That's still significantly low for me. I need to be in the 150-200 range for my emotional health.

    FWIW: The prolactin test was ordered intentionally. Apparently, that hormone can sometimes be too high in trans women on E and an anti-androgen.
