Sorry this has happened Jay :/
Its a setback but you’re still in the home stretch! 💖
Yeah, at least this last minute appointment made it a bit sooner and will speed it up a little.
So sorry this happened jay but always think of the future because I’m sure u will get ur t soon good luck bud
Thanks & I’m ringing my doctors in about half an hour when they open, so hopefully I’ll know more about what’s happening then.🙃
Awh that sucks, stay positive. The time will come around whenever it might be. 💕
That’s the plan, just go day to day and deal with things as we come to it.
Oh man! That sucks dude!! Hope you feel OK, you'll get T eventually
I’m pretty chill now, I just cried on and off the whole weekend and now I’m just pissed off.😅
I know man, we’ll plod along!👍🏼💙
I got a phone call with my GP booked tomorrow, just to chat about a bridging prescription, because she knows I'm self medicating, I am almost 100% sure she will say no but just thought I'd ask for the sake of it lol, but your like me in that you expect the worst. I mean my GP is awesome and totally chill, but certain she'll say no
You’ve got a good chance, they only really ever consider it if you’re looking at or already are self-medicating (obviously not saying it’s a good thing) because they want you off that crap and in a safe environment getting supervised.
Stay safe mate.👍🏼
I really really hope you get your testosterone soon. I’m in a similar part of my transition (slightly behind) I am likely to get a script soon, so seeing this helps me stay prepared for what could happen. Good luck Jay!!
Thanks man & good luck.👍🏼
Hi Jay - that's so bad that the doctor lead you to believe this. I'd be fuming as well but you may get you;re letter pretty quickly and hopefully on T if the doctor surgery accepts it which I hope they do. I'm glad you had a chance to complain not everyone gets that chance!
Hopefully, but like I say from what I know about GPs in Doncaster in general and my specific GP, I don't think they will and I'm definitely not getting my hopes up for it haha. Yeah, I specifically asked how to complain because I didn't want this to happen to anyone else.
The NHS needs a better care plan for Transgender patients in my opinion - maybe have a look through the FB groups to see weather not anyone else is in Doncaster and what GP surgery they use? It would safe you a lot of time and stress I think. Yeh, if i was in you're shoes i'd have done the same thing to be honest with you.
NHS just needs rebuilding, the general care is terrible at this point.
I am in a trans group for people in Doncaster and they just started a monthly support group that I go to, but I've been at my GP surgery since I was born, all my family are there and it's only around the corner from my Nan, so I really don't want to have to change. :/
That sucks man :/ I didn't even know there was a GIC in Sheffield, im from chesterfield but I go to Scotland in uni, but I guess when I finish uni and go home I'll use sheffield, and they don't sound great messing you about like this. Hope it all goes well with your GP and they let you start asap
Yeah, there are plenty in England, most people come from other places in UK to England GICs tbf. That’s the thing, they’ve been fine and everyone’s been really good besides this one incident with this doctor and even he was great when I saw him, just a mistake I guess, but a shitty one.
Thanks, fingers crossed.
so sorry that bureaucracy has been giving u the absolute run-around! ughhh i hate when medical promises are made by people who dont know for sure ): it can be disappointing at best and traumatizing at worst! ): i hope u get access to your meds soon mate!!! im just finding ur channel now and im subscribing right away!
Thanks, I’m working on it, hopefully it’ll be sorted out sooner rather than later & I hope you like the videos.🙂💙
Hey man I'm so sorry this happened! When I was trying to start testosterone, I thought I could start on a certain appointment, but instead it was for bloodwork and all this stuff like what you got. My doctor told me I could start once my bloodwork came in, and the bloodwork kept getting delayed! Took twice as long as they told me. I left the country on vacation a few days before the bloodwork FINALLY came in, which delayed it even more! It was super upsetting and I definitely relate in like how much it hurts to feel like keep having hormones yanked from under me. Same thing happened with top surgery (my insurance kept yanking my chains being indecisive about coverage). Really hoping the rest works out for you!
Thanks man & yeah, shit sucks.👎🏼
2months on from the appointment I was told I’d be starting next and then 1month since then, I’m not much closer. Still having to talk to a million people trying to sort it. I’m just trying to keep myself distracted and not think about it until I have to and I’ll update on what’s been going off and stuff once it’s all sorted out.
I’m so sorry
I get what you're going through mate, I've been sent round in a massive circle for the past two months and it's really pissed me off. I got told I was seeing an endo last Monday to start Testosterone after requesting a bridging prescription off my GP and being told she couldn't do it but could refer me to an endo and I was so excited and got everything I needed prepared, it said on my appointment letter that I'd be seeing an endo called Dr Clayton, so I go to the hospital for the appointment and sit in the waiting room for 2 hours before they saw me, they did height and weight and I thought it was really happening and I was actually going to start T and I was literally shaking I was so happy. I go into the proper room with the doctor and who's sat there? Not the endo I was told I was seeing, but a hormone specialist who told me she isn't allowed to prescribe Testosterone because she isn't an endo and it's not her department (even though I went to see an endo??) and I'm required to go to my GP, ask for her to contact Tavistock and ask her to ask them if they can instruct her how to prescribe a bridging prescription - which is what I asked for in the fucking first place. Hopefully now this hormone specialist has emailed my GP and told her what to do it might get sorted but I'm not letting myself get my hopes up after this.
I hope you get your things sorted soon as well then mate. NHS is great as a general concept, free healthcare and that but it needs sorting out, all of it but also massively gender services and education for GPs.
I totally agree, I mean Leeds wont accept me because I'm 16 (even though I'll be around 18 by the time I get an appointment) and Tavistock refused me because by the time I get an appointment I'll be too old (2 year wait atm, might be more) it's a bit of a joke - I'll be about 20 by the time I even start T and it's not on. I'm starting to save to go private for T if I don't get the bridging prescription. I hope stuff is sorted for you too, they really need to sort out communication
That’s exactly what happened with me, I was referred at 17, 3months before I turned 18 and I was made to wait until my birthday to be put on the adult waiting list... yet a mate of mine is getting referred to Sheffield from Tavistock and he’s 16? He’ll be nearly 17 when he’s on list.
I hate that they aren’t consistent with rules and guidelines, sure they just make it up as they go along tbf.
That's exactly what me and my mum have been saying, they're telling me different stuff every day and interfering with things that don't even matter (I'm in the process of being diagnosed with autism, but the clinic keep referring me to Tavistock instead of doing assessments for some reason?) the system is absolutely shit. I hope they get it sorted and stop messing us all around because for most transitioning is life or death
I actually had an appointment booked to be assessed and diagnosed with Asperger’s and ADHD for tomorrow but they cancelled on me last week and I’m waiting on a call back with another one.🙃
Ah dude that sucks
I hope that the time goes quickly for you until you actually get to start T.
Its good that you complained because that was so shitty. Ugh.
Thanks mate & yeah, I hope it stops the possibility of it happening to someone else cause that shit suuuucked.
Dude. That’s shitty man. I went through a similar experience where I was told I would have my first Endocrinologist appointment so I got excited and turns out my doctors mixed up and that appointment was for something else. I totally feel you when you said you were feeling depressed and disappointed.
But just keep your head up cause it will happen!! You will get T soon!
Thanks man, we just gotta keep plodding along.
Exactly. It’s hard. But it’s just a little bump in the road! We are all here for you
That's so annoying, I'd be raging too if the same had happened to me! Also i thought you were gonna go with gendercare?
Nah, unfortunately due to me having to leave the job I was in because of health problems and living far from London I couldn’t afford it.
I like your voice
...
i was looking at all you're videos with you're face in the thumbnail and yo're face is the same in every one of them.
I guess I just pull the same face?🤷🏻♂️😂
