  • I am ftm, but when I started trying to transition with hormones I had the same issue. I even cut weed out in hopes that was causing my nausea. Mine was so bad that I would not eat for weeks and I ended up getting a saline bag twice because I didn’t want to hydrate. My endo was not as sure as your doctors that hormones couldnt cause the nausea, and when she investigated she found it’s a very rare side effect. I quit t and was fine afterwards.

    But, the fact you’ve been on hrt for so long before the nausea makes me think you have something else going on. Maybe you have an ulcer? I can see that lowering your hrt absorption. Buproprion can definitely decrease appetite, and I have taken enough mood stabilizers that I’m sure appetite loss is a common side effect. Honestly, if I were you, I’d be going to my primary care doc and trying to approach from a gastrointestinal point of view


  • I live in one of those sparsely populated states, I have to drive 5 hours one way to see a neurologist. Because the one that is two hours away only sees a small number of veterans due to the way the VA pays them.

    Thank you for the offer of help, I now have 100% disability with the VA and I’m also on ssdi. Good luck helping your veteran, and please appeal when the VA gives them a rating. They like to lowball us, I was given 70% after my first c&p.






  • I asked to be sterilized in my twenties. I have never wanted children, and never was even asked to baby sit when I was a teen because of how awkward I was around babies and small children. I was denied because apparently decades in my own head wasn’t enough, I needed to be married first. (wtf I can’t even tolerate sex how am I going to get married lol)

    In my thirties I tried again, but this time asked to have all of my reproductive organs removed because they cause me so much pain. I got denied because I came out as trans before that 🙃 The (American) VA can’t do any surgeries if there’s even a tiny hint that it might be gender affirming for trans and enby folks.
