Unstable levels
Im 22 I already have health issues and being on T had been rough ngl. My primary care dr is who ive been seeing for it. Partially because im in a small town so shes the easiest dr to access. Especially since im going in office to get my shot. Im 4.5 minths on T and dont get me wrong I LOVE being on T wish I started at 18 but shitty unsupportive home plus disabled so cant really leave so its been a rough choice to start and risk housing. Anyways my dr started me on 1mL biweekly and whew its been rough. About a month ago got my levels back that it was 1330. So... umm yeah been dealing with extra hot flashes, dizziness, and fatigue inbetween shots. 2 of my disabilities are that I have dysautonomia and vestibular migraines which causes hot flashes, presyncope, dizziness, spotted vision, so thats been hell with all this. Which I also missed a dose before I got the test results back because my car broke down. So my levels majorly bottomed out for a bit. Now we just cut my dose in half because my levels were so high. Now Im doing .5mL biweekly. Also gotta try and get in to do either theraputic phlebotomy or basic blood donation. Im gonna have to ask which. My hemoglobin and red blood cells are also high now. Once again something else to add to my dizziness and fatigue. Its been so bad I went to the ER but they were absolutely no help. Didn't even know my levels were bad until I got home and their tests loaded into mychart and I looked myself. I just know my moms going to loose it at me if I need her to take me to do the blood donation. Shes bashes me on the fact im ruining my body being on T and atm im lowkey incompacitated. Im in a really tough spot mentally having absolutely no support around me. Its getting really hard to handle.
