What do y'alls think? Should I go to the VA and hope that they can help me or should I try and pay for insurance. I've been really confused on this part. I'm already on hrt and have the problem of running out of medicine and not having enough to pay for it and i have no insurance :/ I'm just so confused on this i don't know what to do :(

I would do it hun! You need health Insurance and you don't have enough to pay for it, so please, do it!!

I am sure that you don't want to run out of your "happy pills" so please do it. :)

I love you

Run don't walk to your primary care doctor.

If you don't have one get one by going to the primary care clinic and requesting one.

You are the person they are there to serve.

PM me if you don't get what you need I can guide you into saying the right things to the right people to move that lumbering giant.

Huggs,

They are paying for my HRT and Gender Therapy. You should get no less than I or any other veteran in need.

I am just getting started with the VA Willow.

My bff,a one year postop just got on with the VA.

Her advice is to have your prescriptions in hand

when you go/are refered,to your new attending physican.

Since you have a history,take your medical records showing

how long,test's/bloodwork,preformed,and the history of the

prescriptons you take.The VA docs wont go through the hassle

of prescibing if you don't have them in hand when you walk in.

Using the VA is a shot in the dark,some locals treat us,some don't.

Good Luck Sis,

Angie

Yes, Ang......

That's the part that sux....

The VA is NOT standardized!

It's a crap shoot from one to the next...

I hear girls talk about getting therapy/HRT through the VA and then others won't even get you an asprin...

I used the VA back in the 80's due to Agent Orange poisoning in 'Nam....they would do very little for me...

I had to get it all covered on my Blue Cross/Blue Shield...

I wish all very good luck!

      Do you have a rich inner life?

      By awkward-yet-sweet · Posted

      Same here.  My mind is a jumbled mess.  I'm no great philosopher, nor particularly educated.  Don't open my brain's closet, as all the junk might come tumbling out.

      Its been a long day.  I had a good trip with my husband, kind of sorry I had to come home.  I mean, I love my partners, but I feel overwhelmed by the chaos at times.  It was nice being able to just drive and talk for two days, and not feel rushed at meals.  Stopped at a buffet off I-40 in Oklahoma, and I was able to nibble comfortably for two hours!  And taking a shower in a place where I don't have to bother hanging up the towels for later   Its all about the little things....

      Hi @AmandaJoy Welcome, and nice to meet you! Congratulations on your Self-Affirmation!  As you've already discovered you're in great company here on this Forum.  It took me 60+ years also.   I understand your thrill and desire to proceed full-steam-ahead but that you've already realized to meter your Journey.  So, I will just end with what I tell most new Members when they arrive ... Deep breaths ... One step at a time

      Hey @KayC I need another tutorial session on this place with you.  Maybe we can talk on Discord or the phone and I can share my screen and do a few messages while Asking you some questions about how this place is organized. How are you doing in the real world?? ... "real world" ???  What is this "real world" of which you speak?

      @VickySGV Ha!  Finally figured THAT out!  Though I hate to confess just how long it took me to figure out WHERE to begin typing that "@" sign.  (So I just won't confess it!  ... giggles) I am not sure how private this message to you is ... for example I was going to make a guess about your location (you say near a major earthquake fault) and while there are many places in CA which fit that description, I live near one as well. But I am not sure if being asked that in a public forum is something you want, and I don't know if I am talking publicly or privately right now.  (So, obviously, till I learn what is what, I treat EVERYTHING as public). I think Kay might have already told me about the "@" sign but I forgot ... Guess I have blonde roots ... (I'm actually a Brunette ... Grey but the box keeps me a brunette ... still the number of mistakes I make and how slow I am with learning things constantly reminds me that I must be blonde on the inside!!  ... giggles)

      @KymmieL do they have you on anti depressants?  Are they certain they are the right ones for you?  Has a psychiatrist been involved?  My physician first put me on an anti depressant and when things got worse for me he added one that was the initial cause of my cancer.  My therapist recommended I had a different need changed things. My psychiatrist agreed with the particular underlying condition and the choice of medications.   everyone is different but if one medication isn’t working there are many different types and different underlying conditions that require different treatments.  No meds mentioned because what didn’t work and what did all depends on your case, not mine.   Willow

      Loving yourself, what does it mean to you?

      By Cynthia Slowan · Posted

      To me loving myself means having the courage to live the way I want and to be me.     I hardly ever really like how I look but I feel good knowing I am trying to be the best version of myself that I can be. It is definitely a struggle sometimes though.  💗Cynthia

      When do you feel the most like you?

      When I am sitting out on my patio in a nice pretty dress, full makeup, with a glass of wine watching a storm roll in!       💗 Cynthia

      What are you wearing today?

      By Cynthia Slowan · Posted

      I had a five hour road trip today.  I’m trying to grow my hair out so I just pushed it back with a pink hair band, lipstick and gloss, no makeup.    White spaghetti strap top, short black skirt, white sandals with pink toenails!  A couple of rings and bracelets, necklace and hoop earrings.   I felt like a hot mess but it’s my favorite way to travel!

      Glad you had a good day, @Willow Mine on the other hand sucked. I have been screwing up again, I even got written up. I may have to educate them on major depression and disability. not that it will work.    OH, well. May be another job I lost because of me. Yes, my depression is about down at the magma level   Kym

      This bag is really working out for me.  I had worn out the back on my yin-yang bag so I picked this one up.  It wasn't long before I cut off the flap on it and braided a hemp strap for it.  The zipper is the best feature.  I can spin the bag around and I'm not afraid of losing anything.  I've taught myself to keep all the essential things in it and nothing more.  Here is what made the cut:   Notepad Sharpie Ballpoint Pen Teaspoon Glasses Phone (most of the time) Wired Headphones and/or Bluetooth Carmex and/or Lipstick Flash Drive Current Braiding Project Wallet Hair Clip   And on my keys I have my one inch Swiss Army Knife with scissors and a bottle opener that I like using with mason jar lids.   I don't miss pockets at all now.  The bag is fun and practical.  I can set it on the ground to get everything off my body.  If I need something, I'm looking for a fairly large object.  I always have something to work on with the braiding project.
