5/19/04 - T Entry 1
Well, guys, I'm finally on Testosterone. The doctor's visit went well, though I was kind of nervous. My blood pressure was really high when I first got into the doctor's office. I managed to lower it by the time the endocrinologist got there though. After a short chat about dosage and stuff, he wrote me a script for about 4-5 months worth of T, and told me to come back for a follow-up in 2 months. Then the nurse came in to give me my first shot. "Would you like to do it yourself," she asked. I said, "Sure, why not..." Then I saw the needle... I mean, I'm no wuss, but that needle was really freaking long. For some reason I just couldn't get myself to jam it down into my thigh. So the nurse finally took pity on me and helped me push it down into the muscle. Once it was in, I pushed the plunger down just fine. There was a little bleeding when we pulled the needle out, but she said it was perfectly normal.

Anyways, I haven't really felt much from it, I don't think. I've noticed I'm a little quicker to jump at people when they annoy me, but that might also be from nerves as well. I'll know in another day or so. I definitely felt a jump in my sex drive, but then again, it could be that my boyfriend and I had been apart for a week. Mainly, I just feel a sense of being on my way to being myself. That stagnant feeling has gone away, and I feel like I'm finally doing something to help myself. Well, I'll make more posts as I notice changes. Hopefully I can get pictures of that first shot up on the main site soon.

Till next time,
Kenji
