Last October I did an experiment to balance out my core hormones by inserting pellets of testosterone and estradiol into my left buttcheck. We’re started me with 10mg of estradiol (range 6-25mg with 8-10mg being most common), and 75mg of testosterone (range 50-150mg with the most common being 75-100mg. Day 1748 If you are interested […]

Day 1912 and Informing Ourselves
Some 20 years ago, before I knew I’d have medical troubles of any length, my college job was working for a medical ethicist who was a physician with a grant to study informed consent. Now, years later, as I have worked my way through institutional resistance to how I may come to be disabled and […]

Day 1547 and Fragrance Free
Going to a spa or a hair appointment has an added layer of stress when you’ve got skin allergies. I don’t need clean or organic beauty (though I do prefer it). It’s not about being fancy so much as I need it to be free of synthetic fragrances like Limonene. Limonene is a naturally occurring, […]
