Heya people of the internet !! Normally, I’m starting hrt in a couple of days (specifically testosterone) and I was wondering if anyone has any advice or reassurance about it?
Ideally, I would prefer to have it in gel form, but in the country where I live it’s like 70€ a month so that’s not a possibility right now. Injections are reimbursed with a prescription from an endocrinologist so I will be starting with them.
Specifically, I’m scared of accidentally injecting it into the wrong place/at the wrong angle and it going into an artery, causing a stroke or something like that. Since I don’t think I’ll be able to do it myself, a nurse will be the one doing my T shots but I’m scared of the same thing happening with them.
(Further context: I have medical trauma due to neglect and malpractice from some people working in the medical field. + I’m autistic and chronically ill.)
If anyone has any advice, tips or reassurance, I would be very grateful 🙏🏻
