All I am finding is terf island sources advocating for underdosing or sources that are frankly a bit vague. I am looking for a source that will actually tell me what the trough levels are I am looking for etc. I am asking for an info source so I can link others to it

How do I wake up in the morning if I simply don't want to?

So basically, I struggle with sleeping too much. There are a couple of factors that go into this:

1. I have a job where I get to make my own hours (within reason, I can't work past about 10pm)

2. I have so many disability accommodations that I cannot really get into trouble about my sleep issues as long as I get Something done

3. Sleepy me straight up just refuses to do anything. I wake up and I do everything within my power to just sleep another hour.

4. If I have a job where it DOES matter I become so anxious about time it makes me suicidal within about a few months. Last time I was employed and had to be somewhere at 8am >!I tried to kill myself via starvation over the course of 4 months. I got uncomfortably close.!<

So far my main saviour has been the alarm app "I can't wake up!" but over the years I have figured out how to circumvent basically everything it can throw at me. Forcing myself to leave bed doesn't work. Tricks like "Just drink a big glass of water immediately" don't work because it takes less energy to sleep some more.

So far the only thing that actually works is a real human being talking to me for several minutes until my awake brain takes over and I can be rational. Until I somehow manage to reach that rational state I quite literally am unable to "just do xzy thing". I can't do a thing I want to be asleep. I think the biggest issue is the transition from dreaming to awake, I usually want the plot of the dream to continue.

I don't have a person I can rely on to get me awake daily.

The only real thing I can think of that could work is getting a cat and training them that food and snuggles happens at a fixed time. But that won't be possible for another year or two until I have my own place

but like, good fucking god am I frustrated. Sleepy me genuinely just doesn't want this to be fixed

Hey so I have acquired estriol creme to deal with atrophy issues, back when I was first on T via a doctor I was to use a full dose no more than twice a week. Anyway since then I've gome diy and I've been hearing I don't actually have to take the cream vaginally, I can just apply the dose to my vulva and outer labia? Have I gotten that right, is that true?

Hey so I think I might have some kind of asthma. I've been having painful lung spasms and restricted tight breathing, each event lasts hours and I'm having events between 3x/wk and 2x a day depending on how well I avoid triggers. We also suspect I have MCAS.

My lung function is normal which I am aware is not a particularly telling thing in terms of asthma diagnostics, but now I have basically been told to go get an xray and if that shows nothing he can't help me. That seems wrong, no?

I thought xrays cannot diagnose asthma and I am generally confused as I thought asthma was mainly a clinical diagnosis. Is this time for a second opinion, once the xray is done, unless something pops up there?

ETA: for the lung function test I did I was put in a sealed cabin and had to do shallow, deep and resistance breaths into a machine. I speak English as a second language so my terminology isn't bang on. I was not given albuterol or any other medication during, just did a second test after exerting myself.

Hi, so I had already been on Tgel for 2 years, took a like 2 year break and then started T again about 4 weeks ago. I'm on 75mg/wk subq injections and I haven't had a blood test yet, my appointment is on the 9th. I have been experiencing painful sex, feeling generally More Tight in my front hole and having issues with being crampy (in my uterus area too) and burning.

I don't have a yeast infection and I don't THINK I have bv but I'm keeping an eye out. This feels exactly how atrophy (diagnosed by my gyn) felt when I was on T for a longer amount of time and so like I'm thinking I'll do topical estrogen but my real question is: How? The only real thing I can imagine is I'm dosing my T too high and it's nuking my E levels too hard. What do you guys think? I mean maybe it is actually a sleeper infection but I really mean it when I say it doesn't feel like yeast/bv.

WOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! I had already been on T for a few yrs, but I lost access to HRT due to a massive lack of resources in my country and issues with the practice I was already in with, so I decided I will just bloody well do it myself. And I did! SubQ really isn't that scary. I used an 8mm 30g low deadspace insulin needle and it worked like a dream. A tiny bit annoying to draw up and I got a little woozy during but that's fine.

Hi,

does anyone know what carrier oil Unique Pharma use for their T Ethanate? Mostly just curious.

Hey all, I thought you guys were more likely to know this: We have acquired a beautiful Tiffany style lampshade, it's like over a foot in diameter and very heavy. Subsequently, neither of us have the balls to hang it ourselves. Do you guys have any pointers towards what kind of worker we could pay to come hang it up for us? Thanks so much

I'm trying to get some jorum studio samples before I drop the moolah on a full bottle of boswellia scotia and scent amor offers 2.5ml samples, has anyone ordered from there? Are they trustworthy? Google is not helpful
