My doctor is super nice. The appointment was confusing but my mom was with me so she got what I didn't understand. I don't have blood cancer but the 2 blood levels just indicate that I have too much testosterone in my system and I am already on a very low dose. So he was all like well we could try a gel testosterone but its super hard to get because of insurance issues. He said we could try lowering the testosterone even more and I would then immediatly need to see a blood doctor to make sure nothing else is up. Then he said the best soloution would be to go off the testosterone completlely for 3 months, then redo the blood work, and if the blood levels are still high go back on the testosterone and then see the blood doctor. He reassured me I would not redevelop female features since I have had the surgery and no longer have estrogen. And he said It is dangerous for me to be off it forever because of osteoperoris or however its spelled. So this is not permanenet and I'll only be off the testosterone for 3 months. I have an appointment set up with him in May and I'll get a call about the blood doctor. But he said my anxiety and mood swings will be greatly reduced by going off it because I'll be resetting my body and hopefully lowering my blood levels. I do know the testosterone was really affecting me mental health wise but I do know I don't want to be off it forever but I physically can't anyways.

So I'll see how it goes. If I can get rid of this really bad anxiety and these mood issues then that would be great. I have some kind of blood test on Monday that has to be done as close to 8AM as possible see if thats whats causing any of my symptoms.
