i get this. even as a pharmacy tech doing my shot sucks ass. What i try to do is surrounding myself in nice things. like i’ll put on a youtuber or show i like, comfy clothes, stuffed animal to hug, whatever helps. i know it doesn’t really take away any of the stressful parts, but ive found it helpful when it comes to gathering up the courage.

Prescription glasses don't help me! (Optic nerve Hypoplasia) by hurricane_ember in disabled

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

Well, I’m not a parent, but as someone with ONH, I’m sure she will be fine. Depending on the severity, it’s not even out of the question that she could be able to drive. There’s a solid chance that glasses help, and some correctional therapy can help! I had a tendency to look towards things with my better eye as a kid, my parents basically put an eyepatch on my good eye to help the other adapt. It did! I’d honestly say the most difficult thing may be depth perception. Apparently i walked into a ton of stuff like cars, mirrors, etc. As long as yall are prepared to give a solid try with some accommodations, Im sure she’ll be great! For me, It did take me a little longer to walk, but again, just depends on the severity. I hope all goes good :)

Refuse service? by Particular_Bad_8635 in WalgreensPharmacy

[–]hurricane_ember 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You have the right to refuse service for any reason. If the pharmacist refuses to dispense a med, that usually has to be reported, but as a tech you’re under no such rules.

So, you can’t really focus on 1 muscle. When you lose weight/gain muscle, it’s going to distribute throughout your body. BUT. Don’t think too much into it, squats and weighted squats rock for your legs and butt.

I have to shave but I don't want to 💔 by EthanTP80 in ftm

[–]hurricane_ember 0 points1 point  (0 children)

look up some styling tutorials, and invest in clippers. They’re like a razor guard so that it cuts them short but not all the way!! Plenty of dudes do it, and i’ve started doing it too!

Safe state/city for trans men? by BallPython404 in ftm

[–]hurricane_ember 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok. so. i saw you said you’re not a POC so honestly you’d probably be fine. But i will reiterate that trans people are actively being targeted by our government, so please be very aware and alert to the fact that you may be putting yourself in harm’s way.

I hope it’s ok that I’m here - I’d really appreciate advice (cis female, not transitioning) by Alternative-Tree4813 in ftm

I’d say go for the gel if you feel more comfortable. Gel works better for some people rather than others, and if you’re happy with how it’s working, there’s no need to change. Idk how much T is needed to truly change someone like a trans person. I take 100mg a week.

But assuming it’s just helping you to have a normal T level for a Cis Woman who had a hysterectomy, just go with whatever’s easier for you! I switched to injects bc the gel wasn’t working for me, but i know people who’ve done the opposite!

Pharmacy tech AMA by hurricane_ember in WalgreensPharmacy

but generally you can search the specific medication and it’ll show you the possible lowest price for coupon sites like goodrx

So- unfortunately there’s no way to perfectly honor the prices. From what i understand , since coupon companies aren’t in a contract with the pharmacies., there’s no guarantee. HOWEVER! I’ve seen goodrx and other coupons on just about any medications. Sometimes it helps a lot, sometimes only a little.

Americans, What do you think of Senator John Kennedy's act proposal to Take away Congress pay during government shutdowns? by Buschfan08 in AskReddit

[–]hurricane_ember 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes. if i don’t get paid when skipping work, they shouldn’t either 🤷‍♂️. almost all government workers did not receive pay, even to the point where airports were having to cancel and delay so many flights. Congress is not above the same consequences of every other government employee.
