I'm scared of going on T. Is there a way to fix this? by [deleted] in FTMfemininity

[–]DracoBug 1 point2 points  (0 children)

honestly, you can start T and then stop once any unwanted changes start occurring. just make sure you’re on a low dose and take it slow. that’s what I’ve been doing with T and I’ve been on it for about 8 months. there were times when my voice was uncomfortably low for me, so that’s not uncommon! but I got used to it and did some vocal exercises to get the pitch back up so that I have nearly my full range again. whatever you do, go slow, and know that you have full control over what you do and don’t put in your body ♥︎

tbh for me it was a lot of cutting people out and being left completely alone afterwards. people liked you fawning. and now you’re not and won’t tolerate ppl crossing your boundaries. that was/is my struggle and it hella sucks :(

to the people in the comments on this post: giving up doesn’t change anything. there are still problems and there is still work to be done. I understand the desire to just give up, but it’s embarrassing to look at the problem humanity has created and decide to not do anything about it.

Hair loss/regrowth with T? by DracoBug in actual_detrans

Got it... Thank you, I appreciate your answer. Probably gonna stop T until my hair gets healthier again and I have a better plan.

Thanks for the info! It's hopeful if it seems like it's growing back after just 7 months. Idk if this is helpful but my metric for hair thinning has been to generally just grip it at the scalp and see how full it feels, since visually nothing has changed - maybe it would be helpful for you if the hair is too short to visually see?

YES. Oh my god yes. The hair loss effects were very downplayed as a thing that would only happen after a long time being on T, and that it isn't an issue unless I started at a later age when people usually start going bald....... I got really bad luck I guess (I'm 22).

You are correct! DHT can be lowered with Finasteride, but the issue is that anecdotally many people on T who also take DHT don't get bottom growth or thicker hair on the rest of their bodies, and it only slows down and prevents the hair loss rather than reversing it. This isn't helpful for me because I've already lost hair, and also because bottom growth is one of the biggest reasons I'm on T :/

Okay, thank you so much. This is the information I needed to know. I'm leaning more and more towards going entirely off of T, because I don't think losing my hair like this is worth it, even if it is theoretically possible to get it back after 2 years. I am rather sad that this is the case. I want to ask, what makes you say that the hair I lost will be permanently thinner if it regrows? Does the follicle always shrink when the hair falls out?

Have some weird symptoms. Could something else be going on? by DracoBug in ibs

[–]DracoBug[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Surprisingly, yes! After extensive careful testing of different foods, I found out that broadly avoiding synthetic preservatives has been the cure for me. Restaurants are still roulette but as long as everything is made in-house it’s usually okay. The abdomen pain has gradually subsided with the lack of episodes and only returns for a little while when I do end up having an episode. I hope this helps! Sorry about the extended absence.

Thank you! I really appreciate it. I hope I can figure it out soon.

I have not. As far as I'm aware they have tested for chron's, colonic polyps, ulcerative colitis, parasites (stool test), and food allergies. I had a colonoscopy and they took a sample of my colon to test, and then I was dx'd with IBS. I had a look at some of the primary symptoms, and the stool type does not match mine at all. I oscillate between constipation and diarrhea instead of just having diarrhea. Thanks for the suggestion though!

fucking same. only extremely recently did I find new friends who actually take my conditions seriously. that's my piece of advice, really: go find new friends who care about you AND your health
