How should I deal with my gender dysphoria? I'm 18, and thus still young. However, I am unsure if I want to go so far as a full operation, (mostly due to the expensive cost.) Should I consider some hormone therapy? some estrogen?

Alcohol soothes my anxiety yeah

>>606347753
Do you use antiperspirant?
If your family and/or medical personnel can't smell it, are you sure it's you? Is it possible that you have a bit of social anxiety?

>>606347911
Use Preparation H. There is a cream form of it and the applicator probably makes it a lot easier to use than aloe vera. Plus, it will shrink your blood vessels and lessen the bleeding. Aloe isn't going to do much.
Get it at any pharmacy.

>>606348178
Your psychologist says drugs are a bad idea?
Switch psychologists. That is a psychiatrist's decision. Also, first line therapy for anxiety is SSRIs (like citalopram), not the benzodiazepines (like Xanax) that people are so fond of.
Also, booze will make your anxiety worse over the long run, anon. Please try to quit or at least cut down.
You can do it.

I mostly use suppositories at this point as they make the bleeding go down quite a bit. I don't strain to shit and my body isn't in pain (neither is my asshole) so I'm pretty much just experiencing rectal blood issues.

I have for many months, and nothing else is wrong with me. I literally have no symptoms aside from that - and it goes down when I use suppositories.

I'll try PH if this treatment fails. If all else fails I'll go to the doctors, but medical and economy issues in the U.S. are a nigger.

You're going to have to explain more, anon.
>>606349029
Immensely. The bacteria on your skin eats the sweat that comes out of your armpits. If you use antiperspirant, they have less to eat, and you will smell less badly.
Works on feet, too.

>>606348996
I think social anxiety is a decent guess. Have you ever talked to a medical professional about it? It makes sense to get a diagnosis so you can get appropriate help, anon.
Don't worry. Doctors deal with this kind of stuff all of the time. It won't be as bad as you think.

I was 15 when I first started crossdressing. I didn't think much of it, I just saw it as a costume to make sexy times sexier. But then I ended up really liking how it felt. Not even in a sexual way, but it just felt... right, somehow, to be girly, and a girl. I started to switch back and forth regularly, and saw "girl time" as a sort of vacation, like a vacation from my own self. Nowadays I still switch back and forth, and genuinely feel like I am either gender, depending on what time it is.

my psychologist is a neuroscientist though he's total anti meds

>>606349565
Why do you feel as though you want to start drastic changes now? Is what you're doing not enough?
I'd be a little hesitant to start someone so young on hormones.

>>606349860
because I feel like it should be the next logical step. I have a slightly girly build, but it still looks boy-ish. It is fine when I feel like a dude, but when I feel like a woman, it's off-putting.

>>606349657
No problem, anon.
>>606349674
Then, please, get another doctor. I know that 'Muricans have the reputation of throwing drugs at everything, but when a doctor simply will not give meds... that's simply not right.

I'm just going to play a little devil's advocate, OK? I'm just trying to probe your mind a bit to understand.
If you go on hormones, won't they make you feel weird when you want to be a man?
Why does one have to take "the next logical step?" If a guy and a girl live together, should they just get married because it's the next logical step or can they just live happily as is?

Hey doc, 20 year old male here, on no meds.
Here lately (the past few months) I've been taking a lot of large shits.
Used to be I'd pop one every other day, now its two or three times a day.
The only thing that worries me is I don't eat that much, and it seems to be more or less the same going in as comes out. Should I be worried? Modify my diet? Etc?

No pain, no cramps, nothing of that nature.
College cafeteria food, so varied. Though I often will eat a whole bowl of spinach given the chance, but it seems to not do anything to my shits one way or the other.

>>606350842
Its a growing pain, shortly before i cum. And as soon as the orgasim kicks its incredibly painfull. last time i nealry throw up and i nearly suffocated..
i only use insulin.

>>606351096
Do you have anxiety? Does this pulsing hurt you?

>>606351338
I'd avoid benzos because they're not much fun to come off of if you take them regularly.
I have nothing to gain by lying to you, anon, and I also know what I'm talking about when it comes to meds. I know people tell you bad things about medicines, but they have helped a lot of people. But you won't know until you try.
Please, anon. Talk to another doctor.

>>606351403
If it doesn't hurt you or cause big problems, I wouldn't worry about it.
Your poop is almost entirely composed of bacteria (although fiber will make you poop more), so it's not necessarily proportional to how much you eat.
I'm glad you're taking an interest in your health, but I wouldn't worry.

>>606347387

I have a tiny bump on my penis shaft what it be? Is skin color with no irritation

It sounds like your blood vessels are dilating a lot when you're about to have an orgasm.
I can't really tell what's going on without seeing you and running tests. Insulin is a pain in the ass like that. Just tell your doctor at your next visit, OK?

>>606352060
Just get implants, I guess. Probably the only thing that won't hurt you in the long run.

You may have a cold or a sinus infection or throat infection. However, if it's getting better, I generally tell people not to worry about it.
If it gets worse, go to the doctor.
It's usually not a big deal unless the lymph nodes are swollen for more than a week or two.

The ring I'd hope, not the dick.

Any idea why I might have dry scalp? Someone told me it is because I'm only supposed to wash my hair once a week, but that seems ridiculous.

>>606353275
Glad you like it, but no idea

>>606353907
Yeah I guessed I just have some sinus infection. I was told if nasal mucus is green as opposed to clear you have an infection, is this true?

my dickhead doesn't get fully hard if you will, wat do

>>606354602
Yes, the ring. Poor guys were pretty embarrassed.
If your scalp is a little flaky, it's not dry. You probably have mild dandruff. Try Head and Shoulders shampoo. Also, you should wash it every other day (more if you're greasy).
People think that "washing every day will make it more oily." Not true. Your body doesn't have "oil receptors" that will say "hey, there isn't enough oil up here!" Your skin makes oil as a result of what's happening internally. Too hot, hormones, etc.

Girlfriend had a yeast infection the week before her period. Got one pill to take for it mid week perscribed, and one more to take just in case. This was on thursday of last week and she took it that day, second one that monday. We tried to have sex (we haven't for a month and are both pretty anxious to relieve tension) but whilst foreplay went on she said it hurt and we stopped. We are both pretty frustrated. It has now been 5 days since she took the second pill. Is it safe for us to have sex yet?

>>606354706
Not really. I see a lot of people with allergies who have a lot of green mucus.
Hope you feel better soon.

>>606355204
Are you on any meds? Have any medical conditions? How old are you?

>>606355303

I get a slight phlegm buildup at the back of my throat from time to time, along with a lot of gas coming up. Also, the back of my hands get really, really dry. Though not always at the same time. What do? Eat more fruit?

>>606347387
So, hey, is it really true that dehydration increases blood alcalinity preventing the metabolization of carbonic acid, which is the rate-limiting factor for the production of serotonin from 5-hydroxltriptophan and dopamine from levodopa? Cause that'd mean that coffee causes depression.

>>606356074
You're welcome.
>>606356126
Good question. I think the prevailing school of thought is that it's not the caffeine in coffee that makes you poop. Some compound that releases gastrin or something like that.

Hydration is not a day to day thing in the sense that water today will make your hands less dry today. You need to be hydrated for two weeks straight (or so) before you'll really start seeing the effect.
Try this: buy a cheap pair of gloves and a thick hand cream. Before bed, put a very thick layer of cream on (Eucerin is a good brand) , then put the gloves on. Sleep. After a few days you should see a difference.

People really like to take supplements for diseases, don't they?
I wouldn't take more than 600 mg daily without having your levels checked. Magnesium toxicity, while rare, is bad news. If you go to the doctor, they can prescribe you higher levels, but they'd do a quick blood test.

Started it as a nootropic a couple years ago (went from 135 to 145 IQ) and it seems to improve the aspie symptoms as well.

I'm 159lbs at the moment, was putting on weight for a cross-country bike ride, but now I'm concerned that my heart won't handle it.

Sometimes I inject myself with illegal anesthetics to get to sleep because I suffer from sleep paralysis about once a month and fine when I use drugs, I don't get sleep paralysis.

Propofol, Ketamine, Buprenorphine, others I won't mention because the list is long and I specifically use drugs IV to knock my ass clean out.

What is my best drug of choice to keep from suffering from sleep paralysis?

Yes. I'm self medicated. Suck it.

>>606359698
Hmmm... initially I would have guessed your symptoms sound like orthostatic hypotension, but it's strange that simply turning your head makes it worse.
Do you get dizzy when you stand up randomly?

>>606361752
If you were or are an opiate user that could be where your sleep paralysis comes from.

VA doctor. I pretty much insisted, because I was taking it anyway (online source), and couldn't handle only taking it when I could afford it. Last time I got off selegiline I stopped having the motivation to even get out of bed and shower. I really don't want to go back to that.

>>606360328
I'm definitely up for the cardio, now that the weather is nicer, and I suppose 3 months isn't bad, if it helps the problem long term.

>>606362976
Yup.

>>606362759
I don't think so.
What I think is happening is you're tripping your baroreceptors in your blood vessels. These vessels dilate and contract the vessels according to your blood pressure. If they dilate, it gives you a shitty headache.
I recommend taking to a cardiologist if it persists and causes you a lot of problems. I don't think it's dangerous, though.
Sorry I couldn't be of more help. This isn't really my area of expertise.

Also, I use sterile 1ml syringes and sterilize the injection site every night before IV, I've been doing this for a while. I know my shit.

I don't use iodine though. That shit is expensive, just alcohol to sterilize

Weight is 145, so I'm pretty light and it doesn't take much to knock me out.

>>606362808
Doctors do nothing and tell you they can't treat sleep paralysis. Especially since my case is monthly and not daily.

Yet I'm afraid to go to sleep because of it, and find the only way to sleep regularly is to do this.


I used to take sleeping pills with diphenhydramine, but found that my tolerance grew to a level to where it did nothing and I had an episode one night so stopped.

I bought diphenhydramine liquid from a dealer to IV one night and found it nocked me out pretty ok but my fear of using it is still apparent and I have shunned any pills to help my problem.

Pills don't help. Only IV drugs do. I've had to many episodes to want to take pills, I have never had an episode a night I have IV'd a drug.

Weed helps me sleep, but I found I still have episodes while smoking daily, even regularly.

SO as asked first. Best IV drug I can use to prevent sleep paralysis.

>>606363578
My bad, then. I had the wrong impression. Sorry.
The cardio will do your heart rate a world of good. You can do it, anon. Godspeed.

>>606363578
Also, and I should have mentioned this earlier, I suppose... Minor pain. Sharp, but not intense in my chest, and occasional soreness in my left arm. I always assumed that even a minor heart attack would feel pretty intense, so I pretty much ignored it.

>>606364390
Have you tried any benzos or prescription drugs like that? They are used in sleep paralysis sometimes. Also, you should get a sleep study.

>>606363994
Have you had your heart checked out at all? You should probably do that. Pain with a high heart rate is something I'd want checked out.

Well, like I said, pretty moderate. I probably should, I'm just lazy like that. Sardonically, that's why I started taking the Selegiline in the first place. My blood pressure is normal, and chances are they'd just tell me what Ialready know: need cardio, stay off 4chan for a while.

how do you get rid of PPP without surgery or anything like that

>>606365314

Various and numerous muscle relaxants that don't put me to sleep. Various Benzos that have done nothing but keep me high and then make me sleep for 3 hours and make me groggy when I wake up. I don't like pill, I have stopped taking pills since 18.
Potassium Bromide
Meloxicam was nice, but hard to find and I don't like taking it since it is addictive, but have bought 3 bottles before I think they were 50mg each. Lasted me quite a while and I enjoyed using it, but I don't want to get addicted to anything.

I don't like pills. IV knocks me out the best and always works, ever since age 17. I want to know the best and safest IV drug though. Ketamine makes my head feel weird but doses of 150mg knock me clean out if I don't build a tolerance and use it every night.
(Which I have done)
Other drugs I have tried are spacy or have left me in a state of "What the hell is happening for 5-6 hours"

I want a drug that I don't have to keep looking for.

I want to know what is best to IV to knock me out regularly with no adverse effects and very little tolerance, its the only thing that has worked time and time again, and no doctor could convince me otherwise.

>>606363800
thanks anyway man, much appreciated.

>>606365907
Good question. No clear answers.
It depends a lot on how well controlled you can get your depression. If your meds help, and you're doing things in your life to help your depression (exercise, socializing, not being a huge boozehound) you have a pretty good chance of not having recurring psychosis and eventually getting off of your meds.
If you don't take your meds, are not on effective ones, or don't take care of yourself, you could have more episodes or be on SSRIs for a long, long time.
How are you doing, anon?

>>606366104
Meloxicam is an NSAID, like ibuprofen.
Now, get a sleep study. You CAN get help from a doctor who knows what they're talking about. You do not want to be on syringes for the rest of your life.
All that being said, what would I do if I were you? Probably propofol*.
Stay away from ketamine.
*in theory... I hope I don't get sued for this shit, but you're going about this so stupidly, I guess I have to reply

>>606366489
Not bad, round two of school for Eng, under doctor's care. Minor dip during end of midterms/runup to exams but nothing like before when I dropped out/got weird. Even then I was alternatively lucid/understood shit wasn't right, but certainly had my moments. Messages from the tv, delusions of poverty, fear of government officials, fear for the global/country's food supply kinda stuff, etc.. Never actually got hospitalized as I was too paranoid about being committed to let on the extent of things until after the fact so the diagnosis is in retrospective. On SSRI plus low dose risperidone.

>>606367238
Sorry you had to go through that, anon. I know school can be stressful, but you can do it.
I'm glad you can at least catch yourself when you're in a paranoid state. There's a lot to be said for it.

Also, I have taken (stolen) various SSRI from my mother (left me with head changes and migraines episodes happened 3 days after stopping I think I was 17). I have tried xanex but will never do that ever again.
I have tried a lot, and when I was 16-18 I have probably tried a lot I shouldn't have, which is a reason I shun pills like the plague, its a god sent I have not ever shot up black tar heroin or anything with the people I have to deal with to get what I have gotten because its been offered like a million times.

Like I said, I IV I don't pop pills anymore. Pills scare me, they aren't something I want to go back too. Nor would ever want to be prescribed.

Do you believe that medical marijuana if given in recommended THC dose levels, could replace a significant amount of anti anxiety medications? Pain Killers (esp opiate based) ?

>>606367953
Generally, I'm pro-marijuana. I think it's a lot less of a problem than alcohol.
As for anxiety: back in the pre-doctor days I tried it and it made me paranoid as hell. People tell me it works for them sometimes, even though I haven't experienced it.
Pain killers? The problem with using opioids or booze for anxiety is that it makes it worse in the long run. Much worse. Then you get addicted.
If weed works for you, then you're going to do what you're going to do. I don't think it's really bad for you, but I don't think it's going to replace anti-anxiety meds, either. There are a lot of studies to back up SSRI's efficacy. I think they will be the gold standard.

I have only ever had one bottle of Propofol. 200mg bottle, 20ml.
It was like heaven in a bottle. 1ml worked quite well, but it took about 20-30 minutes to drift to sleep. Never suffered
I think its been 4 months since I have had it. No one has yet to offer it again.

Last episode was 2 months ago 4 days after I had been up for 2 days.

I find that laying on my side or laying any way makes no difference, and I have a very high fear of sleeping every night.

No one knows, no one on /b/ unless they have it every night could ever know the fear that is Sleepy Paralysis.
I can't even begin to describe the horror here.

I have screamed for 8 hours straight laying next to the woman I love begging her to wake me up or just.. The barrier between reality and what is and isn't doesn't exist sometimes when episodes happen, I can't even describe how painful it is to think of sleep.

I have a problem, yes, but the only thing a sleep study would do is show that I have normal sleep patterns and normal REM sleep. The longest I have gone was when I was 14 and didn't have an episode for 6 months, then WHAM back to reality and it occouring at least once every month.

I feel safe, and it just happens. I can't control it, I can't do anything but fear it. Fear sleep every night. Its like I'm playing a cruel game with god but I'm never in control.

Alright Doc, I got 2 issues...
These little off-white balls of nasty irritate my tonsils and I fucking hate it. I poke around and push them out with Q-tips soaked in mouthwash, but they keep coming back. What do?

I feel badly for you, anon. I really do. I've had sleep paralysis, and it sucks.
However, I hope you try to help yourself in healthier ways. You sound like you might have some sort of anxiety disorder on top of it, so you may want to get that checked out, too.
Also, that is not only what happens in a sleep study, so you could try it instead of insisting you know that it will fail before you try it.

>>606369599
Does this happen to your tonsils frequently? For how long?
You're going to need to go to the doctor for meds, I think. You probably have tonsillitis.

Thanks Dr. One last tetrahedra canaboid related question.

What financial effect would this have on the major pharmaceutical companies that are currently in place.

Big pharma will fight it to the end, I'm sure. The drug Marinol is supposed to be their answer to not legalizing weed, although it's rarely prescribed.
They'd stand to lose a lot of money. Chronic pain meds like Cymbalta still don't have generics, and they're outrageously expensive.

I have dieted, exercised, been on all natural diets. Ever since 18 I have done this. It makes no difference anon. I am not in control. I'm playing a game with god and he is just fucking with me. I have no other options but IV drugs. They are the only thing that makes me in control of my sleep. They are the only thing that gives me power over the fear.

Anxiety is a very loose term for what I am going through. Its more like fear that I hate to fear. I hate that I have to fear it.

>>606367232
Please then, inform me how a sleep study might help one such as myself and how long I would have to do it for for it to be of any use, and what they might find and or do after it.

Like I said, it happens regularly on a monthly basis, but has not happened before for quite some time. Then out of nowhere.

I have been to my wits end on this issue, but have learned and gained nothing. How would a sleep study help, please, do enlighten me anons. If you know, please.

Infection of what sort that could have caused these episodes ever since a very young age?

It was an inescapable fact of my life that I have had to deal with for a very long time.

What you are describing IS anxiety. Textbook anxiety. The fear of fear is anxiety 101. So, please, get it checked out.
I have to go soon, anon, so I don't have a lot of time. What I can say is that you have shown nothing but resistance to going to the doctor. Just go, anon. Do whatever you do now and STILL GO. It doesn't matter what I say because you're just going to make me explain myself further and further. Plus, sleep studies are not my area of expertise.
