T - has started

23/03
We went and saw his GP this morning together. I wanted to go because Max has a way of reducing his story so he does not have to burden his GP (bit weird I know, but he is a sensitive soul). We told his GP how bad his depression was and how we don't have an appointment with the psychiatrist (or that we don't even know when we might get one). Max's GP was actually quite shocked that we did not even have an appointment booked (Max stated later that his GP is not shocked often). His GP said is was no point changing his antidepressants and that maybe the thing to do was to start T. So we went through the Informed Consent Method and got a script for T there and then. We were actually quite surprised, as we were not expecting it so soon and did not know if the GP would do Informed Consent. Max's GP offered to do the injection later the same day after Max gets the script filled. As soon as this was offered, Max was starting to smile.

I had to go to work, so Max got his script filled, went back and got his first shot of T. When I got home he was listening to music, doing the ironing and SMILING. It was so great to see. It feels like a weight has been lifted off. I know that we have challenges ahead, but it is good to finially start. We decided to watch some more YouTube videos on the first 4 weeks of testosterone. We did notice that Max was clearing his throat a bit, and he reported that it was a bit sore.

Last night Max slept poorly. He was unwell due to eating something that did not agree with him, but also he was really hungry (which is not like him especially in the middle of the night). He also felt a little more hot than usual in bed. During the day, today, he noticed that he is sweating more. He better shower every day! I am really quite amazed at how quick some things have occurred.
