Re: Progress - long ,

[Guest guest]

Yup, sounds like progress to me.

I guess I have been lucky in that there was nothing much ever on my

CBCs that went out of range. I won't be able to report progress on that.

And my liver must not be in too bad shape. I can tolerate coffee,

tea, within limits. It's just better if I avoid it. All progesterone

cream seems to do to me is make me sleepy....

Thanks for keeping us up to date. Looking forward to hearing your

next progress report.
