It is insane how medical gatekeeping is either: Okay, try this, and let me know how you feel in a couple of weeks lmao Or: Here's a potentially years long process you must go through to make sure you're eligible, because we only care about whether the medication ruins your life.
Yeah honestly it's such a shame T.T Like we're talking about a life saving medication yet they wanna make it so hard wtf
Or in my case, medication that would make it so I do everything better (but also, yes, it was like that for HRT)
Theres a third option: "Oh you have a shitload of money you want to give me? Well come back tomorrow and we'll figure it out"
