Hi everyone!

I just thought I would say that I finally filled my prescription for Met tonight. I am so excited and have quite high hopes for results. I realize that it probably isn't a good idea to have such expectations but I have been dealing with too much fat, hair, mood swings and no AF for way too many years!

So, I was thinking of starting on the Met tomorrow. I realize it is Thanksgiving but I am actually in Scotland now so we don't celebrate it and I think it will make it easier for me.

I am hoping that I will not have really severe side effects but then again I would be willing to deal with the suffering for as long as it takes if it meant that my body could be "normal" for once in my life.

Just like so many of you I am hoping to have some postive results. Well, cheers for now and I will keep you all posted of my progress.

So, GL to us both~!!
