Ongoing Nurse Treatment and UK Medical Exam (K-1)

[Julia & Aaron 19]

Hi,

 

This is our first post here, really sorry if I'm not sussing out the etiquette. We've just got our NOA2 so it's time to put my big boy boots on and sort out things my end ready for the medical and embassy!

 

I've anticipated and understand what I need to do in regards to mental health issues in my early 20's and a diagnosis of a harmless nervous system condition in 2020 (so harmless I don't even have to take medication) BUT what I am apprehensive about is a gender affirming hormone injection given every 3 weeks by my GP.

 

It's something I've taken for 8 years and my summary record is *filled* with injection summaries and monitoring blood tests done every few months.

 

I want to get it all ready and sorted as early as possible but obviously I would have had more injections done in the time between getting it printed and the medical. Would it be best to add to the GP letter already being written documenting the nature of the injections, or should I aim to get my summary as last minute as possible.

 

Thanks!

Aaron

 

P.S - If you have something negative to say regarding it being gender affirming, don't bother.

They will be more interested in ensuring you are not a harm to others so will most likely be looking for a statement from your Psychologist.

What the panel physician will be on the look out for are conditions that could indicate you pose a threat to yourself or to others -- certain contagious diseases, mental health issues, substance abuse.  So your injections will not be an issue for US immigration.  Just make sure they are mentioned in your GP summary, but no need to put off the documentation til the last minute.  You would not want them to mistake any injection scars as signs of drug addiction or self-harm.  I had insect bites on my arm on the day of my medical.  The doctor took a bit of time examining them... 😬
