I don't mind seeing Dr's about my Gender Dysphoria and my wanting HRT. I understand that I have to go through a process here in SA. I am fed up with Drs who have very little knowledge of what they are talking about disagreeing or questioning other Dr's.
It is never done in an upfront way, My Gyne I am seeing for HRT says to me that there could be an issue...and I quote here " you still using Narcotic medications." I said to her that this medication is injected into my pump...I don't touch it...I have no control over dosage in any way as it computer driven, she said to me that my testosterone was very very low again and I said yes that will be the meds in the pump doing that(I had discussed this yesterday with my pain DR) and that my Pain Dr had warned me about this and it was a very common side effect for the type of treatment I have. She then proceeded to spend the next 15 minutes looking up the drugs on the internet only to turn to me and say well there is nothing that I can see...The pain Guy I see is an internationally recognised pain specialist who would be close to the top of his field and I am sure my Gyne is very good at what she does but why question me?, If you don't believe it, I don't care, there is nothing more I can do once I tell the truth
I don't care either way...but don't indicate to me you are sceptical when you simply just don't know. It's like the narcotics thing if my Psych makes a big deal out of this then we are going to have a serious problem...I can't stop having this medication, I am not nor ever have been a junkie...a drunk yes....I have no control over dosage or when its delivered to my system, The computer controls the pump not me. So it becomes a mute point because from an HRT point of view according to my Gyne, it makes no difference whether I have narcotic meds on board or not. So it becomes and addciction thing which is stupid and misinformed to say the least...arrrrrrrgggghhhhh
