Ricki Yasha TarrTrans people are "forever patients"?
So is literally everyone!
Fuck off.
Raise your hand if you take a pill every day to keep yourself mentally/physically healthy! ✋
Democracy Dies in DumbassDifferent pills, different days.. Sometimes it's in the shape of a gummy bear. :)
Misuse Case@RickiTarr I take a few LOL
And if you take birth control? Congratulations you are taking hormones every day
@MisuseCase FUCKING EXACTLY!
Sam Thurston 
@MisuseCase @RickiTarr they're coming for those next
Faith, Purple haired feminist 🧋 
@RickiTarr 🤚🏻
But one of those is progesterone and weekly estrogen so IDK that I'm helping your point. 😂
@faithisleaping Hey I have a Mirena so I get it too lol
Tim B
Mark Maguire
👩🦯The Blind Fraggle@RickiTarr I take 8 twice a day (total of 16).
Ambient Sponge@RickiTarr Yep. In fact I technically take about ten of them to keep me physically healthy. But about seven of them are due to my lack of pancreas and I have to take digestive enzymes or otherwise I will be very very ill indeed.
TheJen will not comply@RickiTarr 🤚 Several.

Not every day, but I take iron supplements ~ half the days now that I am a frequent platelet donor.

essjax@RickiTarr ✋ three pills a day and one injection a week. All prescribed long term meds that do a great job of keeping me well.
Brett Elliff
JohnWI have a daily nutritional routine (vitamins, fiber, green food, etc...) that I take daily, but no prescription or over the counter medicine.
chillzilla@RickiTarr 15 pills a day and I'm still not sure if they are working.

Court Cantrell does not comply@RickiTarr I take 2 prescription pills, 4 pills without prescrip but recommended by doc, and use 2 prescription powders. I also see a therapist regularly. Oh, and I am a person with a uterus and other female reproductive doodads, so I see a gynecologist at recommended intervals to keep all the doodads healthy.
I am a 47yo forever patient. I have been a forever patient since age 12.
"Trans people are forever patients" as a "warning" is a monumentally disingenuous paradigm.
Sid 🇵🇸@RickiTarr several yeah
Jennifer@RickiTarr I take HRT every day for menopause symptoms so I don't stab someone with a fork. I guess I'm a forever patient too just like people who take HRT every day to be themselves.
Monica Rooney@RickiTarr I have a thyroid condition! My husband has high blood pressure.
Bruce Mirken@RickiTarr ✋️ Blood pressure and cholesterol meds. Heart attacks killed my grandfather and nearly killed my dad.
cohomology is FUN!
Stybba3019@RickiTarr Two pills & a once-a-day inhaler. I'm a "forever patient" as I'm A) alive & B) utilize the miracle of modern medicine for what ails me as I need it. The alternative is to *NOT* receive medical care & suffer until something kills me.
Which kind of shows their hand...
Mark W. Alexander@RickiTarr
I'd rather not but here I am 🖐🖐🖐🖐🖐🖐🖐
1/pill *sigh*
Rodelinda@RickiTarr antidepressant, antipsychotic, statin, baby aspirin, and Flonase. Anyone who thinks I need a walk in the woods instead can have all the seats.
@Rodelinda damn right

BlueintheSouth@RickiTarr mine is in a much less processed form 🌬️
LeftOfKarlMarxI take a handful of pills to keep myself from turning into a pile of goo.

RegressionToTheMeme@RickiTarr I don't get substrate chauvinism. Some people use the homebrew dopamine their brain produces naturally, I use the top-shelf high-grade stuff in a bottle from the pharmacy. 😄
@TeeCeeGee Right, we don't all get the same stuff
@RickiTarr Oh, we're all on the same stuff. Some make it themselves, others have to buy it.
My response to "Oh, you're on an anti-depressant", is usually, "Yeah man. So are you. Mine just has a prescription." 😄

MonarchLady@RickiTarr All the usual suspects for my senioritis and then some.
Gabriel Pettier@RickiTarr ✋ i guess B12 as a vegan does count? though missing a day is not catastrophic, missing many days for too long would be.
(and yes, the diet is healthy if you take the complement, and the complements are part of the diet, so the diet is not unhealthy, thanks, science.)
furicle@RickiTarr please don't tell me we're limited to just one?
@furicle NOPE LOL

@RickiTarr several, on a schedule. Night and day difference.
HeatherTX@RickiTarr
Yep! A couple! 🙌
Yep! A couple! 🙌
Miriam2k22@RickiTarr Got a small cocktail of them at the moment, but the biggest reason is my lack of a baby maker. Mine was silly and tried to kill me at a young age. It's gone now. HRT ever since.
The DoctorBelieve me, if I could replace it with a chip, I would.

Ether Diver@RickiTarr technically, I don't have to take the pills every day, just "as needed" which ends up being like 5 out of 7 when things are going really, really well
