Medications: Part 1
2002.03.20
Yup. I hold now in my hands a lab request to get a blood panel done and a scrip for Spironolactone. So, I guess it's official: I'm starting the first leg of the medications for cross-gender therapy. I guess you could say I'm pretty stoked about it, as it is a rather large step for me. But I guess I wasn't really nervous about it much at all because I've actually been looking forward to it. Since my appointment this morning I've been bouncing around much happier than normal---that is a fact.
Strange. Most things up until this point I've been pretty apprehensive about it.
I think what sets this time apart is that I've had about 3.5 years to think about this and 2.25 years of seriously starting transition. So, I've had time to warm up to the idea as well as consider my other options. The antiandrogen regimen now is a relatively harmless step, IMO.
Maybe in about 6 or 9 months I'll reevaluate my situation and decide whether or not I want to take that real leap of faith and go with full-blown HRT. But, I don't want to really think about that now. I've got a bit of homework to do between now and then. Besides maybe I'll figure out relatively soon that the transition is not truly worth it in the end. I'm not sure.
So, I guess in the next few days it's off to the drugstore to get the prescription filled and to get my blood drawn. (Eek!)
