re: re: "all but the kitchen sink" Jun. 2nd, 2008 12:32pm
Hi Natalie and Sarah, My endo just put me on flut. I'm already on spirono, dex, Vaniqa and finasteride. He told me there's nothing else he can do for me (too old for bc pills but mostly I'm a smoker !)so he's told me that I'm now on everything "but the kitchen sink". As far as the psych goes....he thinks I should be used to the fact that to look like a woman, I NEED to shave my face twice a day. Sorry but I still, after 31 years of having to go through this ritual due to LOCAH have a very hard time mentally with this frigging disease. It is embarrassing, as if I need to tell you all and I'm on so many drugs from not just the endo but the orthopedist/rheumatologist of mine. PLUS the lithium the head shrinker has me on. I was born obviously with CAH, weird stuff happened (early puberty, PCOS, an underarm sweating problem where we were actually talking to a surgeon to remove those sweat glands in the maxilla (armpits) and a condition called furunculosis (extremely painful deep non-ca tumors that would develop in my legs mostly and in my face...sometimes they'd resolve on their own other times I'd have steroid injections and antibiotics. These things start deep within the skin and work their way to the surface of the skin and they were large and very painful. 99% gone now just left with some wicked scarring...all this before I was 16 years old when I had to start shaving like a man. And he wonders why I'm not used to it by now. Pu-leez. Perhaps he'd understand if he had to wear his castrated testicles on his ears and deal with that each day?? Sorry for the rant, Carol
