I spent a few weeks reviewing what my options were given that my GP had refused to prescribe HRT & blockers.
[CAUTION applies beyond this point]
It was clear that I was, at this point, at least 4 years away from an officially prescribed regime of Transfem medication. So I took the decision* to source these myself. I was able to afford this (for a few months at least!) and I was able to obtain a genuine 2 month supply of the appropriate branded 'magic pills'. I will be telling my GP in due course. My mood has improved considerably.
*My decision was based on weeks of research, talking to many others (including professionals) and not hitting the 'Buy' button at 1am. I understand the risks. I'm also in my late 50s so understand my body pretty well! I do not recommend that anyone else follows my example, please seek professional advice!
