T and top surgery musings

[ganimede]

To my surprise, I got a letter from my GP this morning. It said:
"Further to our consultation on 30/5/2007 I am writing to inform you that Dr Seal has recommended that the frequency of your Sustanon injections be increased to every 2 weeks. This would make your next injection due on or around 5/6/2007 and you may wish to make a new appointment

I have no control over my T, I have to do what the Claybrook says. My GP won't do anything unless she gets the say so from the Claybrook. It is frustrating beyond belief. I'm pretty sure that a more steady dose of T would be more beneficial, even if it's something more like 100mg a week.

I really don't know if I'd be able to self-inject. If I could use a little needle and not go into the muscle, I might be able to manage it. But, like I said to ninjanuns, when I asked my GP, she said she didn't think it was a good idea.

I think I was fairly lucky because I didn't bind for that long, but it's still good to not have to deal with that any more. I think I understand what you mean about being shirtless in public if everyone else is. It's like you don't expect to see blokes with no shirts on just on the street, but it's different on a beach. That kind of thing, right?

I also know people who inject subcutaneously with no problems but none that use Sustanon. I would imagine most T is developed to be injected into the muscle though.

It's a fear of needles mainly. It's taken me all my time to get remotely comfortable with having injections for T at all so injecting myself will be really hard. I want to be able to so that I have some control over it. I don't like being reliant on the nurses at the surgery.

Aw, it's really nice of you to offer. I'll certainly keep you in mind :)

Oh, I don't know. Sometimes you need all the support you can get!
