Re: Squirt, PHD and Atypical
Tamarah - Yes, you are on the mark with my twitching and it sounds like I have another sister twitcher.
Squirt has been on the purified lignans and the melatonin in capsule forms starting in late summer of '08. Since her estradiol and the two progesterones have not come down as we would like, Dr O wants to put her on the hulls. Since Glynda explained the higher content of lignans, that makes sense as a higher dose should have a stronger effect.
I, personally, won't use the implant for Squirt for several reasons. Like Scott said, it is too hard to know when the implant life runs out, resulting in possible erratic dosing. Nor do I like the idea of her having that huge needle stuck in her even once, much less over and over to replace the implant when it loses its effectiveness. So I will stick with the capsules so I know exactly what dose she gets and NO needles. But these are just my feelings. I know several folks who use the implant with no problems and are happy with it VS having to give meds twice a day.
Heat indexes here have been running in the 110's so I know what you mean about the water consumption! All of mine have been guzzling like mad! Crys is the only one who seems to like this weather. She wants to stay out in it but I don't let her for very long.
John - thanks for the kinds words and for finding out just why the earth is round.
Lori - you're a doll and I really appreciate the support! You do know we love you, too?
Hugs,
Leslie and Squirt
