Ditto for -- I finally just stopped all hormones. If I could find a doctor
(or could afford to go to Diane Schwarzbein) who would take the time to
'adjust' the hormonal therapy using feedback from tests, I might try again --
but generally doctors just dole out the hormones -- how they determine the
amount I can't tell. The doctor I have had me taking so much testosterone
that it's a wonder I didn't automatically turn into a man. If you've figured
out how to arrive at 'balance' I too would love to know.

Namaste, Liz
