I just wanted to share somewhere! I’ve been on a low-ish oral dose with a T blocker for a few years, and just last week finally talked to my doc about upping my dose, moving to injections, and swapping the blocker for prog.

I went back to their office today to learn to do my injections. The nurse was so nice and welcoming, and very patient. I’m not afraid of needles much at all, but I just felt nervous because I want so badly to do injections correctly for my own sake. I did really well, and when she stepped out to take care of the sharps I literally involuntarily did a little happy wiggle in the chair and stomped my feet!

I’m proud of myself for learning a new skill and putting it to use right away! Feels like my mind and body had been waiting for this moment for a long time!

Thanks for reading this. I’ve gotten so much second hand joy from all of your stories like this, I hope mine can do the same of someone!! Lots of love to you all!
