3 years, 9 months, and 1 week (or, 10% of my life.)
1376 days...that's how long it's been since this journey began; how long since I began the fight for proper medical care.
Today, while at work and, fortunately, in my office, I received a phone call from Planned Parenthood, a follow-up on the dose increase I requested at my last appointment, which couldn't be done at the time because the physician was on vacation (I see a clinician.) The answer given to me today was, "so long as you understand the risks, there is no medical reason to not increase your dose." I got the increase that I requested!
With those words that nearly four-year battle ended. I closed my office door and began to weep in joy and relief. It's over; it's really over.
