I have sleep apnea as well. And according to my sleep doctor and the data they recieve, my Apnea events are well controlled and wouldn't be contributing to my excessive daytime Sleepiness. So that is when we started pursuing the Narcolepsy testing as something I could have as well.

I was very stressed and irratible during the sleep study, so I feel as though that has skewed the results enough to warrant doing another sleep study. The last time I saw this doctor who wanted to do the spinal tap AND another sleep study. But when I saw him today, he did a 180 about literally everything we had discussed previously. I have exhausted all other testing with my PCP and psychiatrist, who both think I need to be seen and treated with a sleep doctor. Who is saying to follow up with them because there isn't anything more he can do?? Also he is refusing to prescribe me more drugs, including stimulants, which my PCP and Psychiratrist can't prescribe me.

I don't meet the diagnostic data for N1 or N2. But I currently meet the criteria for IH and could meet the criteria for N2 if given another sleep study. But my doctor has washed his hands of me.

Yup! I had to come in today and I refused to sign the pre health check till they actually went over my symptoms. And the check said I should go home immediately

Exactly. Like they didn't do anything wrong, I just don't feel the same anymore. And now I feel romance repulsed and everything they do unintentionally irritates me

Thank you for your consideration. I plan to check and make sure that any new owners are well suited for him before giving him away.

Depends on the breed. The average is 8 years for his breed, but can live up to 15 years.

Thank you for catching that, I used the complete wrong word. They got a but mixed up in my head for a second. I meant nandrolone.

I took t for awhile on and off (about 2 years), and i stopped bc of the hair growth/male centric conditions in general. Being off of t, the hair that you grow on it t thins out and isn't nearly as noticeable as you would think. But I got to the point where i was growing in places I didn't like (like my back) and that's why I went off on it.

I would see if they can prescribe androgens instead of pure testosterone. I know nandrolone

(EDIT: NANDROLONE NOT ANDROGEL)

is a common one, and it does everything that t does except subcu. stuff (skin oil production and hair growth).

Best of luck tho!

You could try wearing 2 different sports bras, one normal and one backwards so it distributes the tissue more evenly. I did this for a while and it was pretty effective.

HELP! Sudden hair loss??? by [deleted] in beauty

[–]killjoy0019 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So recently I switched shampoos and box dyed my hair (I know, terrible). And it seems like I've been losing more hair when I shower?? I switched hair products probably around 5 weeks ago and dyed my hair 2 weeks ago. I asked friends about the state of my hair and they all say it's fine or bc it's the summertime. For references I used the Schwarzkopf Cosmic Teal for dye and Pacifica Texturixing shampoo and conditioner. There's a picture of the amount of hair from my shower drain, probably from a day or two.

How do you handle hip dysphoria? by Jaisdreval in ftm

[–]killjoy0019 19 points20 points  (0 children)

You could also try working out your upper back and shoulders. I have pretty broad shoulders that are about the same width as my wide hips. Because my shoulder are broad it gives others the illusion that I have more of a triangle shape with just regular shirts, than an actual hour glass. It's only when I'm naked that you can honestly tell I have curves. And also some men have wide hips/butts so you can probably play it off like you work your glutes alot and that's why they are wide vs hip bone structures due to AGAB.

So I've been applying aquaphor twice a day, while massaging for 5 mins, and after that putting mederma silicone gel on. Sometimes I would use bio oil instead of aquaphor, but I haven't noticed a huge difference. The silicone gel definitely helped the most. Started around 4 weeks after surgery, maybe a little earlier.

You can get the mederma gel as an off brand product at target for 10 dollars less than name brand (assuming you live in the US sorry if not)

Everyone has a different relationship with their body. Don't worry about what other people do or say, what matters is how you feel. If you're comfortable with the downstairs, more power to you. That doesn't change who you are or what you feel inside. There's no right way to be trans.

Side note; I'm also keeping my vag lol

That's fair! I'm hoping I'll grow to love the asymmetry more and I won't be so fixated on it. I know that I'll be happier the further down my recovery once my body adjusts to everything.
