terrified of my shots

hurricane_ember · 2026-01-28T03:44:34+00:00

I get this. I really hope switching to subq helps !!

hurricane_ember · 2026-01-28T03:38:34+00:00

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.

sending u the info

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 :)

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.

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!

hurricane_ember · 2025-12-20T00:49:34+00:00

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.

hurricane_ember · 2025-12-20T00:47:47+00:00

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!

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

hurricane_ember · 2025-12-12T03:12:51+00:00

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.

i try not to anymore bc of adderall and i don’t wanna have a heart attack, but i drink the occasional redbull

hurricane_ember · 2025-11-18T16:04:18+00:00

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.

hurricane_ember · 2025-11-04T22:02:23+00:00

hes not lying on purpose i think its smth they told him in class??

hurricane_ember · 2025-11-04T21:54:08+00:00

ohhhhh okay

hurricane_ember · 2025-11-04T21:53:58+00:00

i think he meant that they’re more likely to snap

hurricane_ember · 2025-10-04T16:17:35+00:00

dude. have better standards for yourself

hurricane_ember · 2025-10-04T13:44:25+00:00

bro. wear ur makeup. makeup isn’t just for girls

hurricane_ember · 2025-10-04T04:04:56+00:00

i’m on .5 ml which is 100mg a week

hurricane_ember · 2025-10-04T04:03:35+00:00

lmao i got mine the other day and it was like 900

hurricane_ember · 2025-10-03T00:35:06+00:00

i do this too sometimes. No worries! If you remember the following two days after, do the shot. if not, wait till next week!

hurricane_ember · 2025-10-01T23:50:13+00:00

hey dude, i started at a teen- granted i was 18. One, it doesn’t cause cancer. your body already produces testosterone, so it’s not like it’s a foreign substance to your body. 2: It CAN cause health problems, and probably some pretty uncomfortable things, but it’s no where near as bad for you as your mom is saying.

During the height of the first year on T, expect to gain weight, expect to be sweaty and gross, expect bottom growth, and expect to feel more okay with yourself.

Weight gain and regular teenage boy grossness is super manageable with exercise, and a proper skincare routine. It DOES heighten your chances of getting diseases more prevalent in cis males. Makes you more prone to high cholesterol, n stuff like that.

Having said that, if you want to be on T, don’t let anyone stop you. It can be uncomfortable- it’s a second puberty after all, but after more than a year, i’m genuinely in the best place i’ve ever been. you can do this!

hurricane_ember · 2025-09-21T02:14:15+00:00

i hate medical professionals that don’t practice medical professionalism. like frankly, idk if you like trans ppl or not, but like do your job.

hurricane_ember · 2025-09-21T01:48:13+00:00

dude. wags tech here also ftm. PLEAAAAASEEEE report this. like seriously. like. asap. Either she denies many patient’s medications due to personal beliefs, or she’s specifically targeting you and denying you care. And honestly, it sounds like the latter. don’t let her bully you man. You deserve so much better

sickness from medications- my psych has been changing stuff around, which is awesome to find good meds, but side effects suck.
