Premarin and Insulin= Cranky

For all of you partners out there supporting someone in transition I'd like to make you aware of an additional cause of mood swings. I'm just now starting to put two and two together, geez what took me so long right? The terrible battle with the mood swings can be challenging enough and at first complicated to understand, but throw in an insulin problem into the mix and it's like a psycho emitting cocktail. We've found that there might be some additional risk of diabetes on heavy doses of hormones.

Beth has been on a new kind of hormone and I thought that perhaps this was the primary reason for some of the changes I've noticed lately. She seems a little down. Poor thing, I know that she is by far deprived of enough sleep since Ohio, however I am beginning to think that the insulin is creating more havoc than I initially gave it credit for. I know her well and I know when something is off. I can just tell. I cannot always diagnose it but I'm a pretty good judge by now when there is something different. Hopefully getting caught up on the sleep will help. If it is the sugar, the macaroni and cheese dinner I made last night probably didn't help. If it is the new hormones, hopefully her body and mind will adjust and cooperate once they've evened out. I just want her to be happy and to love herself.
