HRT Follow-up Appointment

Sister 2 is just back from her follow-up appointment with Dr. Allan Klapper at New York Downtown Hospital. Doctor and patient agree that there is improvement in this bladder with Estrace. What is better is the chronic pressure feeling. The examination left no doubt, as the exam itself was much less uncomfortable than the initial exam one and a half months ago.

When asked about the bladder's ongoing sensitivity to food, Dr. Klapper recommended Prelief twice a day. Another appointment is scheduled for 2 months and Estrace is reduced from every other day to 2x per week. We will give this a try. Just 6 days ago after eating home fries at the diner which had who knows what in it--MSG, ascorbic acid, or paprika perhaps?--there was pain in the evening for three days. So, we are hoping for more improvement. With exercise, impeccable diet, and super-hydration I am able to feel comfortable at this time. That's good news!
