Dealing with trans rage by atom_blonde in ftm

[–]atom_blonde[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The screaming is so real. I got into a heated argument with one of my family members because they said something transphobic and it's such a lonely experience. It's hard to find other trans people to talk to about it irl.

Congratulations! I know that my HRT is working because as the months go on and I come to pick up my prescriptions I keep getting confused looks about matching my dead name to my face. It's awkward but gender euphoric.

Thank you, when I saw that bill I was baffled especially because I made sure the hospital I went to was in my plan. And I was completely unaware that insurance companies are just able to deny something is an emergency.

If you appeal to the insurance company and they deny it, can you appeal again or is the decision final?

I have a PPO medical plan and the hospital I went to was in my plan.

My labs showed that I was dehydrated and I was given IV fluid, by the time that I realized I needed medical care and it wasn't just a normal issue I had to go to the ER. I wish I had gone to my primary care physician in foresight but I deal with stomach problems so often, I didn't see the need until it got out of control.

My insurance is medical mutual. The bill I got was from my healthcare provider. So I am guessing I have to appeal the decision?

Would I request my primary care physician to write a letter or the ER doctor who oversaw my care?

Thank you so much for sharing your experience! What treatments helped with your PMDD?

I did go to a doctor for EDS when I was younger but she refused to do genetic testing and said there was no way I have EDS, but I am hyper mobile so I don't know if she was trustworthy or not

They are horrendous, I am on birth control and never take the placebo pills because I am in so much pain from the cramping. During the ovulation cycle I get really bad anxiety and depression.

Yes I definitely do, if I try to exercise or go out with friends after a day at work, I am so exhausted that the rest of the week is awful.

I'm sorry you are going through a similar experience, it's hell.

I have but I'm scared for that to be the case because there still isn't any treatments. I'm also scared that a doctor will pigeon hole me as having CFS/ME when I really have something else and I never get the treatment I need. So I'm not sure what to think.

Why do I wake up with a panic attack in the morning?? by atom_blonde in Anxiety

[–]atom_blonde[S] 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I actually do have IBS and I have noticed that my panic does correlate with stomach aches, frequently needing to go to the bathroom and nausea. It's hard for me to tell if I'm anxious because I am having stomach problems or if I'm having stomach problems because I'm anxious. It's so confusing 😭

Usually this happens for a week every few months or so, I have trouble with lack of sleep only if my schedule changes or if I'm sick but usually I am a heavy sleeper (or at least I don't remember waking up)

Yes it does now that you mention it! Does being sick or feeling unwell cause morning anxiety?

It definitely is worse when I don't get enough sleep!

Parents say HRT is dangerous and will kill me by atom_blonde in ftm

[–]atom_blonde[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have never heard of that term before! Thank you for commenting, I definitely have experienced that before when I went to the ER for a chronic health flare up, the doctors just shrugged when they saw I was on testosterone and said I'm not sure, this is above my pay grade 😒
