I thought I would share the pic I have as my avatar. I took it yesterday morning as there was such lovely morning sun to capture.
Ninja, unfortunately Finnish healthcare system is a mess, the BMI requirement was recently made so idiotic it stops a LOT of people from getting any plastic surgery done in public healthcare. Also our nearly fascist asshole govt declared all plastic surgery cosmetic which is a lie because public does things ONLY based on diagnosed needs. So I'm screwed, my only option is to somehow finance it and go abroad which means I'm waiting for a longer time for it.
Thank you Mashtenn, I hope I'm stronger now? At least much more mature and disillusioned about many things in life and I've never lived in a body which I don't hate. I'm certain that fourth year on HRT will bring in a lot of self love and peace of mind.
Billie, that's lucky. I wish I had my own money to pay for transition, but seems that I live from grace of others who love me enough to help me out.
I mentioned earlier about simplifying my NBE in near future. I have been thinking of dropping some of the amino acids, I'm not sure which one as they all seem to work well, but it might be L-tyrosine I'll drop. The L-carnitine + L-ornithine combo is amazing already for what it does for need and quality of sleep, that I wish to keep going as its perfect excuse for fasting and its also very cheap. I think its cheapest of them all as small doses are enough. My experience on it for last about five months has been nothing but positive, it does exactly the things the research article outlined and the cost is minimal. My plan is to keep going with as full program as I can until my surgery in September and then slowly wind it down a bit.
BO and MSM & D3 & Calcium combo I wish to keep on going. Biotin for hair and multivitamin are self explanatory. Topical program is so amazing I wish to keep it going and further experiment with things as I got some ideas to try out. This seems to go so well along with Pioglitazone I want to keep it going. I have about nine month supply of Pio left and I want to keep it going, I might take it all in one go even, or perhaps take breaks to lose weight in between. For now, I will keep at it as its working wonders. I wish to keep Vitex & EPO going as well as it seems to correlate with rather nice breast development in the last couple of months.
One little change I'm doing right now with topicals is that I'm switching from DHEA cream to using micronised DHEA instead. Meaning splitting a 25mg capsule and using the powder. The ones I got have it extremely fine and it absorbs like crazy. Mixed with DMSO cream it just disappears completely, so I presume it works just as well as micronised progesterone does. Which I'm on again btw, I'm cycling 200mg prog 15/15 days, topically on boobs and what is left in the capsule I take orally.
Anyway, the micronised DHEA instead of cream is basically making my own on fraction of the cost and I can easily bump the dosage up to what ever I wish and it still costs a tiny bit compared to the over priced Biovea stuff. It mixes perfectly with DMSO cream or Prog cream and just disappears in minutes so I presume its absobed well. Coupling this with dermarolling is quite a combo and so far it seems promising. I'll see what happens and keep you lovelies updated.
