I GOT DISCHARGED! ! ! !

Dr Seal said that as the Tostran is working for me and my levels just need tweaking, he can do that by post so there's no need for me to keep going down to London! After ten long - very very long - years, I am finally free of Charing Cross! Woohoo!

My blood test results are back already! I got a call from one of the receptionists at the doctors a little while ago and she said that there was a message from the doctor because of my testosterone level. She said it was high which was surprise number one. I asked for the actual amount because just saying it's high tells me nothing. Plus they ( Read more... )

I've just got back from having bloods taken to check how my T level is doing on this new gel. I have to go in the afternoon because the bloods have to be taken 4-6 hours after putting the gel on - and despite what various nurses have suggested, I am NOT getting up at 4am so that I can have them done in the morning. I usually go on Mondays because ( Read more... )

I had my last ever appointment with Iffy on Friday, although it wasn't my last ever appointment at Charing Cross as I'd hoped it would be. All that is needing sorting now is my T (testosterone) levels because they've been problematic since I started on it way back at the end of 2005. I switched to Testogel not long before my previous appointment ( Read more... )

I have double checked this so I can verify that it is completely and utterly true although I still can't believe it.

Today marks 10 years since I came out as Trans.

Ten years. When did that happen?!

TEN. YEARS. WTF.

I had a fun but very exhausting day in London yesterday. I walked So Much. The only times I sat down were for my appointment, once or twice on the Tube and then for 20 minutes while I had my tea before catching my train. My feet were killing me after all that, even with my Docs on. Personally, I think it's London's streets, they're must be ( Read more... )

I realised this morning there was a couple of little things that I'd meant to post about yesterday but my post about job-hunting was so long that I didn't include them. So I'm putting them all in one separate post today instead.

I've signed up for a course on forensic science!I heard on the radio that some UK universities were starting the free ( Read more... )

When I had all the reaction issues from Testim a couple of months ago which resulted in my switching to Testogel, Iffy told me to have bloods done after 6 weeks to see what my T levels were like. Unfortunately, that timing made it the end of the year and I couldn't get an appointment with one of the nurses at my doctor's surgery at all. The main ( Read more... )

I had an appointment at the doctor's earlier on this evening to see about getting a prescription for Testogel. Thankfully the itching finally began to ease off this weekend and today I've not needed to have any piriton or hydrocortisone cream at all. Yay. That was such a relief, I was getting a mite concerned that it did not seem to be going ( Read more... )

In tonight's episode, following on from this morning's cliffhanger: will Nathaniel get his prescription ready for tomorrow? Will he manage to refrain from scratching?? Can he make it through another day of numpty-filled college on very little sleep ( Read more... )
