I just got back from seeing my trans doctor. My blood pressure was very high. I admitted to her about the pitcher of matcha. The nurse had to take it twice once on each arm and then she took it manually and then it was still high but not alarminly high like before. So I've just had water since. The doctor and I talked about the anxiety I was having. He said I could try a gel instead of the shots but the gel was very hard to get covered by insurance. We talked about maybe going down a bit more on my dose. Finally we agreed to stay at the same dose but go to every other week. He was letting me make the decisons and I was getting a bit confused. But he said my levels are ok now. I asked him if I could get some zofran because of my nausea and he agreed to give me a 30 day supply but he says the zofran is more of a primary issue. He was super nice though. I asked him about surgery and he was talking about people in Pittsburg and Oregon but my pdoc knows a surgeon personally from my old state who does the surgery. So I think I'll bring it up again with him when I see him. Because Pittsburg and Oregon are way too far and my mom is even hesitant about going where my pdoc is suggesting I go. But the problem is theres just not too many doctors who do this type of surgery in the states.
But I'm hoping my zofran makes me feel better and going to every other week is better. My doctor wants to talk to my mom. Everybody wants to talk to her despite the fact I'm almost 29. But I see him again in March and he wants bloodwork before that.
