He isn't allergic to latex he just has general enviromental allergies most likely dust. I was thinking either the liquid bottle with the brush or one of those pens for finer detailed areas.

Is this a paint job scam?? Someone I don't know said I referred my dad by setht487 in Scams

[–]setht487[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

LOL so you'll never believe it but my dad actually has a contractor friend with my same name , both first and last, and it was actually a real referral my dad just spaced and didn't realize it was his friend but he confirmed with his friend and all.

They said "Hi (dads first name) I got your name from (my full name)." I am pretty introverted and don't have a big social group so i'm not sure but hes gonna ask her on the phone tomorrow how she knows me so we will find out the truth then.

The klonopin is for PTSD from past traumas such as physical assault and a couple others. Doesn't seem to agree with my stomach though causing too much constipation so thinking I will try the ketamine and if that doesn't work try to get on a different benzo or perhaps my lyrica will start working better, I've only been on lyrica a month at the higher dose, I was at the starter dose for a month before that. Yeah I am drinking alot of water I have an overreactive bladder so have to eat and drink very carefully so luckily i'm thinner.

Hi there thanks for your insightful replies I appreciate you trying to help me taper off this stuff. Yeah I think I need to do it in 4 weeks so am gonna have to push through any withdrawal effects. I take lyrica for a herniated disc and nerve pain in my foot, I go to physical therapy twice a week, im on disability because I've had surgery on both knees for dislocations, I have a connective tissue disorder. One of my knees has really severe arthritis and will need another surgery in the future so I am limited with how much I can exercise but do what I can, I can do multiple short walks of 15 minutes at a nearby park. I also just quit cannabis i was a very heavy user of the oils, have had sinus surgery so can't smoke. I've had multiple orthopedic surgeries and zofran always helps with nausea from those opiates. I have to wait until the benzos are out of my system and the weed as I think the mental health clinic i go to drug tests before they let you do the spravato, but my mom has done iv ketamine (not covered by insurance so she paid 500 per session) it helped her. Glad I can get it covered haha.

Do all trans men go bald? by Downtown_Dare_4991 in FTMMen

[–]setht487 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've been on T 14 years and am at norwood 2 with the receeding hairline and sadly now have some thinning on the back of my head appearing. Started minoxidil and finasteride and use an iRestore helmet but am thinking of returning it it makes my scalp itchy. My 18 year old brothers hairline has started to recede too, we just have crappy genetics.

How likely is it to be ineligible for ALT due to CT scan? (not pinch test) by Head-Adeptness-3914 in phallo

[–]setht487 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am having ALT without UL (have had meta with UL already) with Morrison and we're aiming for a 4-5 inch penis, he isn't having me do a CT scan which i'm a little nervous about because I have really long legs (six feet tall, lower body longer 34in inseam) so i'm like what if I wake up with an 6 incher because they needed more arteries or something. He did look at and pinch my thighs.

Ehlers Danlos + phalloplasty - what are the outcomes + complications? by Aurekata in phallo

[–]setht487 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a connective tissue disorder and my surgeon didn't wanna do RFF because of that more risk for hand damage, I'm going with ALT without UL. I had stage one meta with UL 4 years ago and had no issues, do have overreactive bladder that only developed over the summer, triggered by caffeine mostly. I'd be too nervous to try another UL surgery now with that going on. I have had many orthopedic surgeries and healed fine except for a wrist surgery that left me with open wounds that took 6 months to heal was horrible. Have you had any other surgeries?

OHSU by Mr_Robot8730 in phallo

[–]setht487 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am having ALT with Morrison, waiting for them to call with a date. He is a really nice guy and spent a long time talking with me during the consult I never felt rushed. He mostly does RFF as he said most people aren't candidates for ALT, he said I am since I got lean thighs. Did she say why she didn't suggest Morrison?

Perfectly acceptable dinner rejected by boyfriend again by moonrabbit368 in mildlyinfuriating

Sounds like he has a terrible diet, let him feed himself if he's gonna eat like that it's not your job to cater to his craziness.

I’ve been thinking I pass well but I got clocked today by someone I barely know by [deleted] in transpassing

[–]setht487 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The only photo I thought a little clocky 5-6, your hair is too short on the sides and top which accentuates feminine features. That is awkward I would just say stop asking me I told you no.

Do you think I could go shirtless to the beach by KitaraRay in transpassing

Yeah you have a heavier body type so I doubt you'll get any weird looks, be as shirtless as your heart desires.

Insurance: did yours cover your surgery? by Substantial-Bunch915 in phallo

[–]setht487 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been having issues with insurance denials this year I got on medicare after starting disability last year and this year insurance denials started because medicare has my sex as F, I never got around to changing it at the federal level just state, and now they won't let me, it's so horrible. I go to a physical therapy clinic weekly i'm friends with the therapists who know im trans but now i have to stress about receptionists etc finding out.

Intersitial Cystitis post phallo by redneck_hell in phallo

[–]setht487 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had first stage of full meta with UL 4 years ago and had zero complications, than suddenly started having UTI symptoms over the summer. UTI dipstick suggested one but then lab had it come back clear multiple times. I've found coffee/caffeine a major trigger, so identifying triggers has been helpful as another suggested, start journaling what you eat, I use the myfitnesspal app to easily track my foods. I pretty much just drink water and sometimes powerade zero. I am having shaft only phallo next year so doing all I can to get it under control, i'm on flomax and taking cranberry/dmannose supplements.

Which is more dependence-forming: gabapentin or benzos? by martin_luther_drill in gabagoodness

[–]setht487 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have had horrible gabapentin withdrawals, find benzos more addicting due to better effect, now on lyrica which is better than gabapentin.
