Pretty sure I'm gonna miss my implant this month 😔
Which is actually really bad. Pretty sure levels are low, no idea what to do can't get a doc here and I don't think I can afford to go back to Sydney hell I can't even cover the cost of the implants.
@JigglyWyvern I don't know any providers in Meanjin, but it's possible that @ada or @supakaity know of someone who does the implants. If you can do a post with hashtags transmutualaid / mutualaid I'm sure a bunch of us who reshare & quote post. I've had to do that here before and have been helped out generously most times.
I can send some cash to your PayPal or whatever. It won't be much but happy to get the ball rolling.
Hugs and help offered, but only if you're comfortable with that.
@jo@JigglyWyvern@supakaity For what it's worth, @internutter was able to get in to see a GP at Holdsworth house recently, who does gender care. I'm not sure if they do implants though?
@supakaity and I both see a doctor at Gladstone Rd medical who does implants (that's what we both use) but I think you might run in to issues there with availability. Getting them to take Kaity on as a new patient was a challenge.
Also, as Jo suggested, get a mutual aid link of some kind up, and we'll be happy to help out!
@ada So I did actually have a telehealth appointment with Dr Victoria Featherstone as she was the only other doctor there beyond Dr Fiona Bisshop (her books are close) that did implants at Holdsworth.
Safe to say I wasn't impress as Victoria felt I need to half my levels and drop my implant down to a single as opposed to a double and question me even tho I been doing my implants for almost a decade now as is.
I think Gladstone has closed books so didnt get far with them either.
atm I am trying to see Dr Naomi Achong an endo that I hope can hear me out at-least but I can't even confirm if she can see me or not. I feel she actually likely closed books at this stage.
I seen a bunch of other docs here but no dice its either they don't do implants or closed books. Had the same issue in Sydney. The only person that did anything for me was Dr Hays. Looking likely i have to somewhat fly back and do it with him for the foreseeable future.
Quiet disappointing I really was hoping things would of been better here but guess not.
@JigglyWyvern Did Dr Eva Jackson have closed books? She may be another Sydney option. I see her for my implant, which she does at Nepean Hospital. Her consultation & procedure is bulk-billed if you're on a health care card.
