Black eyes

[MelissP]

For a short while I actually took the 6mg/day of estradiol that my
endo had prescribed. The first morning, I woke up with two black eyes,
it looked like I'd been beaten up.

That dosage is long past, but the black eyes still haven't faded. Any
ideas what's going on?

There was some tv channel showing "things you can just by looking
at her", and in the 3'rd segment a dying woman had eyes as black as
mine, and it makes me wonder what I have wrought,

6 mg is a very high dose and can (among others) cause small internal bleedings.

Do the small internal bleedings ever dissolve?

Yes, it was too high a dose for me, 6mg/day can also cause insanity :-)
The reason I took that dose at all, is because I was still in the dark
about the extent of my bio-difference. All the trans-ppl I knew were
taking 7.5mg/day :-(

Maybe it doesn't matter anyways. I'm sick of all the pain, and all the
doctors playing stupid games with my paperwork. I can't go on.

I didn't say your black eyes are caused by bleeding. Bleeding inside or behind the eyes can take several months to dissolve.
Usually I would suggest you see a doctor :confused3 :confused6 :thinking2

well
this has happened because of strong reaction to a very high dose
consult your doctor immediately and then go to an eye doctor also
thanks
