If she is anything like you, you can count on her to make it through and bring a smile to everyone's face
I'm sorry man, I know how difficult this kind of situation can be. We're all wishing you the best and keeping your mother in our thoughts, and we're here for you no matter what happens!
My life is a perpetual headache, god damn existence. I mean, I don't have any rush to start therapy, and my next appointment is at the end of the month, so at least I can follow-up inquire about some of this stuff soon.
I finally got around to reading the consent forms for testosterone therapy that was given to me by my doctor and apparently it can increase the frequency of migraines, and i already get migraines so much.
If my doctor says I can still take ibuprofen while on testosterone (there are apparently certain drugs, such as blood thinners, that may act goofy with the injections) then I think it is still a viable option for me. Again, I have time to figure things out, and I don't plan to start treatment until I have all my questions answered. Consent form mentions alternatives as well, which I intend to inquire about at my next appointment. Migraines are more an annoyance than anything, not like a major health risk. The psychological torment I experience from my sex dysphoria could pose a risk to my well-being, however. If testosterone ends up not being part of my transition path, I still hope to masculinize myself in some way or another.Always put your health first. Is the trade off really worth it? Eternal migraines or testosterone therapy. Admittedly I don’t know what exactly that treatment does but I can imagine it would make things worse if you are already prone to headaches/migraines. Ultimately it’s up to you but just don’t hurt yourself!
