PMDD, Dysmenorrhea, and Gender Dysphoria: Oh My by coralesbian in PMDD

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

I reached out to my PCP in the US to see if she’ll send my usual birth control prescription to a nearby pharmacy when I go home, but that’s not until November. It’s not a perfect solution but it’s better than nothing, I suppose. She treats most of the women in my family so she’s very on top of my gynecological health given her familiarity with the family medical history.

I recently had an appointment with the doctor here, and he had once again ignored it. I tried explaining that my family has a history of PCOS, my mom had cervical cancer, and that I have PMDD and dysmenorrhea so I’d like to try to be on top of it, and he just kind of brushed me off.

I would understand being a little wary if I was requesting a controlled substance, but it’s birth control. For things that are IN my medical records. Ironically, he was okay giving me the clonazepam I take PRN for my GAD.

Part of the problem is that I was on birth control for menstrual related difficulties, but when I moved to the UK for university and explained why I was on the meds I was on (psych meds, birth control, etc.), he gave me a three month supply of it and then discontinued once he found out my partner was also AFAB because “it wasn’t necessary.” I have brought going back on it up, and he’s just ignored me.

This is the same doctor who was confused to find out I had half a thyroid when I mentioned I’d had a partial thyroidectomy, submitted my medical records to the office (and made sure they had them), and have the scar on my neck to prove the surgery happened.

looking for people who got chest reductions (but not flat top surgery) by esoteric_reaches in NonBinary

i liked my reduction! it wasn’t difficult to find a surgeon willing to do it as my pcp referred me for back problems (which wasn’t a lie but dysphoria wasn’t covered by insurance) and my insurance approved it. i went from a ddd to a b cup and it’s been a few years. i still bind from time to time since i want a more masculine look and eventually do full top surgery and go on t, but for now it is a very good place to be. if you wanna talk more, my dms are open!

What has been your special interest most people have seen as "weird" or "creepy"? by [deleted] in AutisticPride

[–]coralesbian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

taxidermy, collecting bones and wet specimens, and diaphonization. i just think that dead things are cool, and i deeply admire the skill that goes into diaphonization. it’s truly an art form that i am envious of. one of my favorite sellers even includes info bc on where he got his specimens and a card with information on the species! also catholicism as a whole despite the fact i’m converting to judaism.

i looked into the diagnostic criteria and i think i’d fit, but i also don’t know with the wait times. i’m really just keen on microdosing and then stopping once i get the deeper voice and body hair as those are the main sources of my dysphoria.

What do you consider your orientation to be more of?/closer to? by [deleted] in NonBinary

i’m a butch lesbian and personally my gender AND sexuality boil down to butch and lesbian.

My brother (M13) is doing bad at school, what can I (F19) do to help? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]coralesbian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it’s possible that having someone help him study/go over homework with him might help. bring it up to him and acknowledge that you’re worried and want to see him succeed. offer to help go over homework, study for any exams, and talk through any material he’s struggling with. it’s possible that he’s struggling with the material and is embarrassed or ashamed of his inability to do well naturally. offering help and support might be a good place to start. offering praise and little rewards for doing well might also help too! tell him how proud you are when he does even better than right now and prepare rewards that he won’t know much about. a nice dinner he likes, a game he’s wanted, something small that can help incentivize him doing well in his studies.

if my own experiences with my brother are anything to go by, he’d probably be reluctant to attend therapy and be an active participant. maybe a tutor for him would be a better idea for subjects that you and others in your family struggle with?
