Health progress

Hello Little Blog, Mamma's left you ever so long because she's been a busy lady. A very big job to do in July, but also a trip to Sparkle and a trip to the Peak District last weekend. More about Sparkle in another post very soon.

My face is not that happy, truth be told. This eczema seems neverending. I survived two days in makeup at Sparkle although my skin suffered. I managed only one day in makeup this weekend past and it's only just settling back down after reacting badly. Whilst I suspect that I will be able to manage a day out a month from now on, a voice in my head tells me that that isn't a good idea until this problem is solved once and for all.

I have decided to grab the doctor by the throat this time as I cannot believe that there has been no progress at all in this field of medicine. The prescription I got last year was identical to the one I was given thirty years ago. Well, not quite identical: the packaging is prettier these days. And I suspect I will have to explain to the doctor why it is so important that this affliction be cured: because I am a TGirl and losing my girl face has meant reverting to male mode and thus losing my very soul. I'm not sure how the conversation will progress from there but if you aren't interested in gender surgery it's not like there's a lot for trans people in the way of assistance from the medical profession.

I'll report back in due course.

  1. Did you get out for a stroll in the Peaks?

    Good luck with the quack. It seems you do need to be in there face; well, as much as you can being British. Mrs J's friend has terrible ance and she's had various lotions & potions, until cured.

  2. Go with your instinct and hopefully the Doc, if nothing else refer you to a specialist but given your understandable frustration and thought's, hopefully you get "support" too as that sounds what you may need too. Try to stick in there Sue and hopefully the light at the of the tunnel comes a little quicker for you. Take care & hugs. xxxx
