Hormones.
13 years ago
So, I'm really, really excited when I start looking at hormone therapy. I look at the results, I think about my happiness, I enjoy every moment of hoping that all will go smoothly and that I'll live an amazing life afterwards. My luck says "never" but my heart yerns and leans to yes.
I also worry, I worry that I wont have support. I worry that even with support, the world around me will always hate what I am and will continue to disown my very nature, call me psychotic for even thinking about trying to fit my body into something it's "not".
But it seems silly, really, to think that the thing that scares me most, stays on my mind longest, and makes me cringe the hardest is the needle.
Yes.
That horrible, pointy, metal object being forced into.. me. *shivers* It's that little, evil, thing that I have always dreaded and now I must somehow find a way to make myself not shrivel in revulsion at the mere thought of seeing my medicine. See, I wanted to become a doctor or a nurse one day at one point. I loved the idea of science, helping others, and the chance to really do something in my life. But, then I started health classes and realized I get quite queasy at anything medical related (blood, guts, bones, ect).
So now I need to get over this shit. poopy. :c
Except needlez. They Scarey.
My dads gotta take Hormones too do to losing his.. uhm.. "Boys" To cancer, so I bet you'll get use to it, do anything enough and you will, maybe find a vain, and start poking yourself with a pencil, then move next to the vain, and do it harder, for longer, and so one. for me, it's not the needle being it... it's for it being in for like, more then 5 seconds :p
Even without doing that, repeated injections to a single vein, particularly when used for drawing blood can cause the vein to collapse.
Though thanks for clearing that up, I've learned something now today xD, I do apologies for my ignorance, makes me glad that any part of the medical field I might deal with, is mental, not physical, if even that.
There's regular bloodwork needed, of course, but that's only on a monthly basis, and some nurses are really really good at drawing samples pain-free
I was always against oral BECAUSE of icky, liver, destroying, ness.
AND THERE'S OTHER SOLUTIONS?
Oi vey. More research I say! Thank you darlin'. :)
