So I woke up the morning before yesterday with severe pain in my left side of my face. My teeth are in really bad shape (genetics, lack of insurance/funds and 5 years of Nevada water have all contributed to this) and I have one on that side that died a few years back. That night the weather changed abruptly and my left sinus got clogged full. ( Read more... )

A bit later than I hoped, but I got my prescription in the mail today. I'm very happy, because I was starting to get some symptoms of going without - getting cold easier (but also getting hot flashes occasionally, and I didn't even know you could get that from going off T), extremely dry and somewhat painful nipples, a decrease in sex drive, etc ( Read more... )

So, mfrazercani lost his job right as my first vial of testosterone ran out, and we didn't have the money to replace it. Through my local pharmacy, with insurance, it costs $100. I thought I had another week to deal with it, but had a bit less than I thought. So when I did my last shot I only had .4 mL instead of the .6 mL I was supposed to have. And now ( Read more... )

I meant to post weekly-or-so updates, but for one reason or another never got around to it. I started self-injecting 100mg weekly of testosterone cypionate on July 2nd.

Sorry for the unplanned hiatus from LJ. About a month ago I broke a promise to myself. I was feeling down and posted about it, and it turned ugly. So I locked it for myself only. Some stuff came up that I realised I needed to talk to mfrazercani about before I put it up for the whole internet to read. I calmed down the next day and we did resolve it, but ( Read more... )

So, I did my first injection of testosterone last night.

I'm sitting in the doctor's waiting room right now, waiting to get my first injection of T. Holy crap.

So, after talking to mfrazercani tonight about starting T, he asked for a compromise. I will go in tomorrow, get my first shot, and find out how to do it. That gets me set up to start and also lets us know what kind of immediate mental and emotional effects it has without (most likely) any permanent physical effects starting. After that, though, I will ( Read more... )

So, I had my appointment with the endo this morning.

( Cut for length, of course )

So, on the advice of my therapist, I talked to my doctor about getting on a low dose of testosterone in order to restore some sexual functioning until I get a chance to see the endocrinologist. He prescribed me our best guess at the dosage typical for female sexual dysfunction (it's an off-label use), based on a note in my file from my ( Read more... )
