    Yep, I have to make an appointment for 1-2 months in the future to make any changes to my prescriptions, even if I just want to increase or decrease the dose. There’s a reason I go the DIY route for HRT even though my insurance fully covers it.

      I am forced to DIY a lot of my healthcare because I haven’t been able to have healthcare for years. Which is getting more scary as I get older, and is definitely just way less efficient. I wish I could get a lot of bloodwork done to confirm suspicions on a lot of issues, but the system is a fuck. DIYing GLPs and figuring out some supplements for what I guess are some genetic issues have really changed things for the better for me over the last two years, but I shouldn’t have had to stumble into solutions. No one should.
