First it was smoking that I had to give up, now it's bananas! It's crazy, but these are just the simple things I need to avoid because they would accelerate the side-effects of estrogen and spirolactone. I wasn't listening, but smoking with estrogen is associated with blood clots and of course, smoking causes lung cancer. It's hard because I used to smoke, and I still find it hard difficult not to socially engage in conversations where cigarettes initiate the talk. But, I try to avoid it all the time... Bring a friend and tell them to remind you of the repercussions. As for spirolactone with bananas increases potassium level, which signals liver damage. I love bananas (with Nutella, or strawberry banana yogurt/smoothie). It sucks a lot. Plus, spirolactone itself is a diuretic and I must always drink water so I don't dehydrate. Anyway, these are the limitations that I will live with for the rest of my life. I also should avoid drinking, but I drink two drinks a week or less and the doctor said it was okay.
Anyway, this just made me think about my future plans. I plan on going back to school or working at UCSD, because they have a really good health insurance that covers SRS and breast augmentation. Right now, I am still waiting for a call from the Psychiatry Department to set up my very first appointment. Hopefully I will get a psychological evaluation that would allow me to finally become Jasmine. Well if successful, the side-effects doesn't stop there. I still need to take estrogen and spirolactone, as both are lifetime deals. So these things that I give up are forever.
xoxo,
Jasmine
