Hi Charley,

Yes implant are different to injections. They are a small pellet (approx 2.5mm long) inserted under the subcutaneous layer of skin.

I know things are pretty sparse over in the west, but what you've said so far about your Endo, I think it may be getting close to seeking a second opinion. Does the Royal Perth Hosp. Have a sexual health unit attached to it? Or does any public Hosp for that matter have one? Maybe worth checking out.

Honestly I have no idea, I didn't even know there was endo here until I was referred to her. In fact I know bugger all about my options here, everything I do know comes from reading about it online. Kind of adds to my feeling isolated here.

Hi Charley,

Well you know what to do now. The best way to overcome isolation is to jump on the phone and ring every major Hosp in the area.

As you have time on your side, start your own local TG organisation. Place a free add on TGR.net.au, there has to be a lot of TG folk in WA.

Problem is knowing of TG people in W.A is one thing but being able to meet them is another, I really crumble when it comes to that, I get agitated just going to my friends' house nevermind appointments and shopping. But to meet new people is just O_O

Sorry. I forgot.

That's okay, I am ashamed of it to be honest. Hell I ashamed of my existence.

This was one of the many I cycled through over many years, works for a bit but no longer than that.  Mine was script strength and somewhere I have a few tubes of it.   SIGH

As i've posted many times I suffer from eczema, right now it's so bad I have next to no skin on my arms, legs & chest. The pain is unbearable as is the depression, i've spent the last few days thinking about taking ALL of my anti-depressants to put an end to the pain & misery.

If a dog or cat was suffering like this then we wouldn't hesitate to have them put out of their misery but that level of compassion ends with animals, us humans have to endure the pain just so others don't have to deal with the trauma of losing a loved one, we're a selfish breed.

One ray of hope on the horizon is that my mum is picking me up tomorrow & taking me to A & E, she says she's not going to leave the place until they take me in for treatment.
If I do get a hospital bed then i'm going to push for them to put me back on imno suppressants, the list of side effects are long & serious, these tablets may take years off of my life but if things keep going on like this then if I don't get a hospital bed then I can't see me making it till next week.
I can't sleep due to the pain, the only time I manage to sleep is when i'm soaking in a bath & I often wake up coughing & spluttering where i've almost slipped under the water, it would be for the best if I didn't wake up next time I doze off.

OMG Jayne,

My thoughts and energy is with you. I sincerely hope you get admission immediately. You deserve it. I've had the occasional breakout on my chest and legs but never to that degree. A step aunt I had would be admitted to hospital and embalmed in oatmeal for her cure regime. This is such an insidious complaint.

Hope you can find relief.

Holy crap, Jayne!

That sounds awful. I hope you get some relief soon!

Thanks for the support, I soaked in a bath for 5hrs last night, i've been out of the bath for almost 2hrs & i'm aready running the next one.
I really can't go on like this, it's a living hell

Hang in there Jayne,
Tomorrows your day in hospital.
My thoughts and energies re with you

Huggs
Catherine

Jayne all the best hope you get better soon.

About the "If a dog or cat was suffering like this" part i agree, but doubt its about family.
