Home electrolysis kits

[Heather Shay]

The preaching religion would drive me nuts. I find those who overtly preach to be Pharisees. We all have our own journeys and I am a believer in planting good seeds and showing through example not forcing my beliefs on others. I always try to tell others who ask what I think and preface it by saying it is my opinion and if what I say makes sense to them great. I'd rather preach by example and encouragement not fire and brimstone.

 

In regard to electrolysis and laser I guess everyone needs to find out the rules in their own state, insurance, surgeon and make decisions based on your circumstances but at least knowledge is power.

She did it while treating my lips for many hours.  On a couple of occasions I got up and quit because the combination of pain and helplessness while she worked out her own religious and social guilt (for working with a trans person) on me while I was stuck in the chair listening to it.  Paying for the experience.  

My only open door is a mental health day center where they call me he (I'm legally she and more naturally femme than anyone there).  I was referred there last week because I was non responsive at the dentist (I was saying nothing because they were calling me he over and over in front of everybody, and I was made up very nice at the time.  It hurt because they did it spitefully to publically shame me because they are stressed about covid rules.  Only I can go to get my teeth cleaned and find the matrix trying to bury me back in the system!!   They stopped me for twelve years after my GD diagnosis until I could get out from under them.  Now that I'm close to living its trying to stop me again.  Matrix wants me to glue macaroni and glitter for 20yr old staff approval instead of washing dishes or stock shelves. and I have done much more than that!!!  I'm blown away by people with paying jobs families kids.  It's not meant to be.  Never was.

I have family all over the country including CA and NY and nowhere to go.  I'm actually not useless and pretty strong still hope someone can help me find stuff because I'm not able to hold it all together.  The info and research is like soup in my hands.

I am proud of your drive to overcome all obstacles to your being yourself. Keep fighting and it will be worth it. I am going through some of the same things but have yet to get as far as you have. Keep going girl you are a strong woman and always remind yourself that you will make it and take setbacks in stride.

Jani Didn't your IPO cover the Elect..

@Lexi C No my health insurance didn't cover any of my treatments or procedures.  According to my spreadsheet (I'm a numbers geek) I've got $60k invested in this journey to Me.  At first you might say ouch, that's a lot but in reality it's been a bargain!

Heather Shay it's not drive it's that I'm too weak for suicide and I know this in my heart

[Maddee]

Put me in a real bad spot and I'll see how strong my heart gets to overcome that weakness

Jani's right, that is pretty reasonable given today's real world dollars. I spend over 25K on electrolysis alone.

 

Hugs @Ms Maddie, you're strong, you have to be on this path, you will get past this

Dear Maddie.  I hope and pray you can find a path to a supportive gender therapist.  What I've learned in just a few sessions from my wonderful therapist is that the Starting Point to healing is Self Acceptance.

 

You are already Perfect just as you are.  Others will not see that because of their own "weaknesses".  You don't have to take on their problems. 

 

Deep breaths ... one step at a time❣️

Maddie WHAT R U TALK ABOUT?. 

To Quote Allan Thick son. " Your the hottest girl in this room". 

But i feel you about being to weak to end it all. I feel the same way.  But if I look like you Dam GF i might real think  differently  you feel me.

Wow Jan

60 G's. Dam i being tip my Elect lady only $10 dollars a session, but that all i can afford. Hopefully when things get better mentally and physically i can up it to 20.

FYI

I found a wholesaler on E-Bay that sell ten tubs of Super Numb  cream 30g for 150 and that includes SH

Now I did laser hair on Face/Genitals/Legs, combining that with everything I’ve put into my transition, even including clothing; surgery, and legal stuff. I’ve probably spent near $35K.  I am also a numbers person and I keep up with all my expenses on a daily basis.  This journey isn’t cheap. The financial aspect is just as big as the physical/emotional aspects!

Thanks Lexi. 

I'm not suicidal but I acknowledge that there are situations possible in this world that could make me consider it.

Pact on.

Love and gratitude

All together I'm at around $24k at this point and a long ways to go.  It would be so much more, except that my prescriptions, doctor visits, and therapy have been mostly covered by insurance!

 

Bottom hair removal is a requirement with the surgeon I'm talking to.   They have a clinic that can pre authorize laser, but not electro.  I have little faith in laser, but you saying you went laser for the bottom clearing gives me some hope Kylie.

@Lexi C that is my total number, surgeries, therapy, electrolysis, etc. over 5 years.  I'm at >$14k for electro to date.  I have self funded my journey.  

[Heather Shay]

you are amazing - I sure am glad you are here and part of my journey....

[Kylie]

@Ms Maddie My insurance covered almost all my surgery minus my copay/out of pocket max for my in/network. My insurance did not cover my laser although. I had laser down below. While I notice since surgery I’ve had some small external health growth; everything inside was taken care of with the intra-op hair removal process. Good insurance has been a blessing!

[Lexi C]

Hey MM

Yeah my bottom hair remove is being 100% cover through my medical insurance. I am pretty sure my out of pocket for everything out the door will be around 8G i have save 10 that i have not touch regardless how bad things have gotten. Just want to make sure i have it when it's goo time

[Heather Shay]

@Lexi C finally remembered to ask my NP about electrolysis perscription she would have sent in for me.

 

EMLA cream - it's a type of topical lidocaine.
