I got the indication (Indikationsschreiben) for my SRS this monday from my therapist. And I also had a rare moment where I realized how slim I have gotten when looking at myself in the mirror, it really takes a long time for your self perception to adjust.

Was down with the flu for over a week and am finally doing ok again. Glad to be around people again and be able to do workouts again.

Had to switch from spironolactone to cyproterone because there's a spiro shortage making it impossible for me to get it reliably, but it had the bonus effect of dealing with my high blood pressure, and now the blood pressure med I'm on isn't doing enough on its own, and it's exhausting. I'm pretty sure my cyproterone dose is too low too, and it's making me irritable as hell. I did get some women's glasses frames and one pair is similarish to the ones I wore for years, but the others are quite a departure feom my normal style and make me look like bubbles lol

I have been varying degrees of sick since... thanksgiving. Mostly just an annoying cough. Start my day stuffy and full of dry snot but that goes away after like an hour or so and a nice hot shower.

In general, I'm tired and not happy, and i don't know what I'm doing with my life.
