Hi, Madbloss. Sorry you had a bad reaction to the gel too! I'm so glad you are ok on Evorel instead. It's interesting that you're also allergic to Penicillin - I am DEADLY allergic to Trimethoprim which is an antibiotic mainly used for UTI's - I had biphasic anaphylaxis to this that was almost fatal (subsequently, I'm now very nervous around all antibiotics)!
Thank you so very much for your lovely, kind words Annie - it's is so very much appreciated! Your posts keep me going - I'm really hoping for the T to kick in for you soon. I've read it can take about 6 weeks, so by Christmas you'll be formidable! Just warn Mr. Annie well in advance......

And thank you so much for your kindness too, Stellajane. I'm reactive to adhesives too! I always have to refuse plasters and tape on dressings for this reason - the skin puffs up and goes spongey and weepy. Oh, we're so lucky aren't we???

Anyway, I phoned Professor Lumsden's secretary today and explained the urgency of the situation considering my profile of serious reactions, and she promised to contact Professor Lumsden as soon as we got off the phone and get back to me today. Well, it's now almost 5.30 pm and I've heard nothing. I double checked she had my number and I've been close by the phone all day. I didn't go to the GP as I was relying on a reply, but wish I had now. As I am very fearful of a hormone crash (and it can and does happen catastrophically for me even after 12 hours of missing a dose), I have no choice tonight but to use 1 pump to just about keep me going, and I'll need to keep my diazepam handy just in case I feel awful with anxiety from the drop and my Epi pens in case of anything else! It's a good thing it's Hubby's 'weekend' today and tomorrow, so at least he'll be here.
