What is Hormone Replacement Therapy? (Download and archive this video.)
A hormone is a chemical messenger made by your body to send signals to some or all body cells. Some hormones are made in other bodies or through chemical processes, like other medications.
HRT is a medical treatment for certain conditions, including menopause for some people, or precocious puberty for others.
(Mostly) Older men and women also use it to affirm their gender experiences.
HRT has certain side effects on your body. You may find these desirable or unpleasant.
Any medical intervention can have therapeutic effects and side effects. Different people experience different outcomes.
Do you want or need to biohack your hormone levels to affect your body?
Please learn more from your GP, family doctor, primary care provider, or another trusted clinician with access to your personal medical records.
Some of the waiting lists can be quite long, or involve more steps than you may expect. So ask early, please!

#Insurance #advice
Text version, not just Alt text...
To everyone in a similar scenario: the tactic my doctor's office has taught me is to ask, in writing, for:
1) the name, board specialty, and license number of the #doctor making the determination the #treatment was not #medically necessary;
2) copies of all materials they relied on to make their determination;
3) proof the doctor making the determination has maintained registration in your specific state and #documentation of their meeting all their continuing #education #requirements;
4) the aggregate rate at which similar treatments are denied vs approved by the specific doctor being used for peer review.You are not entitled by #law to *all* of these things in most #states, but you're entitled to some of them, and you can always ask for them.
This is, she says, a wildly successful tactic, because if the insurance c#ompany answers them honestly, it gives you #evidence that the"doctors" making these determinations are practicing #medicine out of scope, without proper #licensing and #qualifications, in areas they are not competent in.
Everyone knows this is true; it's not a secret in any way. But it's in violation of a number of regulations, and a LOT of times the company will just give up and pay the bill rather than handing you proof they're violating the regs. It's a tactic that has worked for me many, many times.

As machines took human jobs, and drugs and synth-alcohol became cheaper and more prevalent, people found themselves on the streets. Strangely, it was machines who also came to tend to the victims of addiction and homelessness.

“The autistic community is up in arms. There is a very vocal part of the autistic population that is saying that A.B.A. is harmful or aversive or has potentially caused trauma.”
"The origins of A.B.A. are undeniably disturbing. The person most closely associated with A.B.A.’s genesis is O. Ivar Lovaas."

Getting #genderaffirmingcare #FFS and looking at lots of time out of work!
Need help paying for medical copay and some of my prescriptions. I could also use makep-up.
Soon I will be getting #ffs and need to practice makeup. That is not free. The paid time off for work is also not as robust as I would like.
I am #sober and in #treatment. I am on #medication for my #depression and #anxiety.
I work as a #PeerSupportSpecialist
I currently have a hard time working as i have been diagnosed with a few chronic problems. Then depression and anxiety on top of all of that.
I am #autistic
Thanks for even sending a few bucks! Even if it is $5
Big love to those that have helped so far.
I have a gofund me and would also love donations to my venmo and cash app if it is a smaller amount because the donation page takes a small bit.

Although federal #law requires insurers to provide the same access to mental & physical #HealthCare, these companies have been caught, time & again, shortchanging customers w/ mental *illness* [wellness care needs] — restricting coverage & delaying or denying #treatment.
These #patients — whose *disorders* can be #chronic & costly — are bad for #business, industry insiders told @ProPublica.
#America is in the midst of a #MentalHealthCrisis.
But finding a therapist who takes #insurance can feel impossible.
Insurers say that’s because there aren’t enough therapists.
That’s not entirely true. [or at all]
>500 other psychologists, psychiatrists & therapists…shared their experiences….
…one after another, [said] they confronted a system set up to squeeze them out.
