I wonder if they will ever have one of those settlement commercials for lithium. You know like the asbestos and talcum powder ones. Because I also have kidney damage from lithium. And it worries me quite a bit. I don’t have diabetes but my dad died from complications. It shut down everything from his eyes to his heart to his kidneys and feet. He didn’t take good care of himself though. My mom was prediabetic but didn’t want to go down the road my dad did so she got it under control.

I think the thing that terrifies the **** out of me is my bad cholesterol. Some trans guys doctor wanted to take him off his hormones because of his cholesterol. So I’m just trying to keep everything under control. Every time I eat meat I feel like my cholesterol is getting higher. So eating meat freaks me out. Plus there’s just not a desire anymore.

I’ve had a change in taste regarding sugar and meat. Change in taste is common after starting hormones. I rarely eat any sweets anymore. I can handle zero sugar soda though and the occasional regular soda. I have a box of candy bars for a PMDD hormone crisis but I haven’t had a candy bar in awhile. I sometimes eat mint Aero bars but for unhealthy behaviors and distorted thinking that is not related to food.. I don’t eat cookies or brownies or anything like that. I can’t even remember the last time I had a cookie or a brownie. I think it was in the spring. And then meat too I go several days in a row without eating it.

It’s just been weird. People think your dieting or have an ED when I really can only eat the same 3-4 foods because there is no desire to eat anything else.
