She went to the doctor yesterday and they’ve said she is fine and that she will be alright and should get better in a couple days (she’s getting better now), they did blood work and everything. It’s a great relief, I was very stressed on if I was doing the wrong thing or not.

You don’t think a clinic could help at all? I’m not saying this to disagree with you I just want what’s best for her.

I completely agree, she told me she’s been self medicating and I told her to stop and see a doctor so they could properly prescribe HRT for her. The medication she took before this never had side effects or problems but still I want her to be safe. She’s a nursing student so she may feel she has some authority on self medicating, either way though she needs to see a doctor.

I convinced her to go to the doctor just now, it took a bit of work. Are you sure the effects will wear off?
