Wow - Just Added my 1st Six Months Costs

[minding-maura.livejournal.com]

I just listed (and posted in the sidebar) a detailed account of my costs related to transitioning to date. It really adds up fast when you track everything.

Even with my Spironolactone covered by my prescription plan, it still adds up.

$545.00 before taking my first pill or shot.
$841.70 since starting the regimen.
______
$1386.70 Grand Total So Far for the first 6 months of my transition.


Realize too that since I started the regimen I have not seen the therapist. From her I got a clean bill of health so I only need to check in with her as I feel is necessary right now. Once I go full time however I will start back on a weekly basis - adding even more to the process.

This also does not include adding Finesteride to the regimen as I have not started taking that yet, and, it does not include doubling the dosage of Spiro which is coming up really soon too.

I have not started laser/electrolysis yet either. God help me when I have to start buying clothes and shoes and have to have them custom made for me. Wow!
