Just North of Calgary and in my late fifties. I have been suppressing my dysphoria since early teens, it came to a head a few years ago.
Earlier this year I found a TG friendly GP who started me on Spiro and sent a referral for an appointment with an endocrinologist . Of course the endo came back looking for a psychiatric assessment, even though I had gone the psychologist route for a couple of years. I've been waiting over 6 months to even get an appointment for the psychiatrist and still no word. I had booked an appointment for Monday to see if there was an informed consent route through the clinic.
Today I get a letter from my GP saying they are leaving the province at the end of the month. Now I feel like I've fallen even further behind. Has anyone tried any out of province options? If I travel to BC or into the bordering states is it possible to get a prescription? Can anyone recommend a Dr that can do informed consent in Southern Alberta, the most commonly mentioned one is not talking to new patients?
