I do have thank @GlueBear@lemmygrad.ml for helping me and giving me advice over a month ago now. Also, @Maeve@lemmygrad.ml and @NotMushroomForDebate@lemmygrad.ml and @Conselheiro@lemmygrad.ml and @WildBirch@lemmygrad.ml and @Ashes2ashes@lemmygrad.ml and @davel@lemmygrad.ml and @zedcell@lemmygrad.ml and @preywife@lemmygrad.ml

Hopefully that’s everyone.

There were a lot of people that helped me last time with giving advice on my health after I had to go the urgent care center near me sometime in March.

Anyway, I may not actually have a stomach ulcer (so I may not even have H. pylori, for example) but I have gastritis and likely fibrosis, which I think will be confirmed in a follow-up appointment soon with my gastroenterologist. I’m likely to be prescribed Wegovy soon.

Otherwise, the only thing that had me feeling ill was the quadruple medication withdrawals since December but, thankfully, I’m off all anti-psychotics now (my last psychiatrist kept brazenly prescribing them over and over again). I’m on Day #26 of Prozac (it takes four to six weeks for your body to overcome the side-effects and for it to act fully on your body.

Some of my trans friends say I should wait a bit on the HRT because I’ll be going to live in Spain anyway later this year (I have my European citizenship and passport).

Not really sure what else to say except that I don’t know what to expect from the Wegovy and, frankly, I would’ve preferred to lose weight (I gained a lot since 2020) the old-fashioned way.

Also, I want to go vegan now, at least I think so. I’m more eager to start.

I was recommended a FODMAP diet by a therapist recently to start off too.

Dunno what else to say.

I’m no longer with the CPUSA. I left them and I don’t think I want anything to do with them at all ever.

I have Dominican friends and relatives in Spain so that may be useful.

Not sure what else to say except:

  1. What trans organizations and gender-affirming services can I access in Spain?

  2. Any organizations or services for Autistic folk like me?

  3. How should I go about starting veganism?

  4. What are good ways to build muscle now fast?

  5. Any BIPOC orgs in Spain?

  6. Communist or leftist orgs in Spain?

Anyway, may get my MA there but I haven’t picked a university yet.

I’ve done my own research but am trying to make sure that I don’t miss anything.

Also, hello, everyone, it’s been a while since I’ve been here!
