I feel so fucking terrible for my best friend right now. She got denied HRT due to high blood pressure. She will only be prescribed them if a medical plan is created to bring it under control. She’s so torn up over it and I just wish I could make it all better for her. The gods truly are cruel sometimes. I can’t stop crying for her.

Ugh that's awful, I get it from a medical pov.

Doubly awful cause I bet spiro would also LOWER her BP and it's a super common diuretic cis people use all the time... and they give it to people with acute high BP and even chronic hypertension...

Anyway, there's plenty of meds that work to lower BP and some nutritional stuff she can do (low sodium potentially). Hope it works out.

Poor girl, that's fuckin awful. :(

Hope she can get that figured out soon.
