Title: Two steps forwards two steps back
Post by: ghostbees on June 19, 2017, 10:27:58 PM
So, the gender clinic appointment that I thought to be on the 27th was earlier and of course I missed it.
Now I need to get my gp to write them a letter [emoji37]

Anyways I'm still battling smoking and at this point I may as well be a walking smog cloud!!
But things haven't been all bad, I've been focusing on my mental health which seems to be improving.

Yeah, it does suck but as long as I get the gp to write something. I may have to talk to staff.

Just quit, girls don't smoke. Nicotine lowers effects from HRT, has negative effects on your fem voice. And so on and so forth. Use Nicorette patches, full strength for 1-2 months, they work.

First off I'm male (ftm) but you're right I do need to quit smoking. I've bought a nicotine inhaler though. I didn't know smoking effects hrt.
