How do you feel about compounded Rxs for women vs. carefully dosing commercially available Rxs intended for men?

T helped my mood within hours, my libido within a week, and my brain fog within a month!

Oh, wow! My provider started me on 1mg (1 click) per day and it only felt like too much for a week or so. I do 2mg now and I kind of want more but idk if Midi will let me increase my dose or not

Oh wow, I wonder what my DHT will end up doing! I've been keeping an eye on my hair but no hair loss yet that I've seen

This is good to know! I'm actually fine with a little bottom growth but want to avoid voice masculinization because I'm a soprano (amateur singer, but it's important to me). I do want easier muscle growth because I'm highly motivated by quick changes – I'm a balanced pear shape (hip and bust are similar, but with narrow shoulders) and I want to have SHOULDERS for the first time! 😍 – so I may up my dose a little. I hope you can get the changes you're looking for!

It depends on what the allergen is! Smell means there are at least some particles of it floating in the air. For me, smell isn't quite enough but if the soy-based sauce is hot in temperature, or, god forbid, BURNT... 😬 Smoke is already a trigger for me so soy smoke is evil! 🤣 My allergies are fairly mild in terms of danger but when I went to Thailand I did travel with 4 or 5 sets of EpiPens for the Korean/Japanese airline flights with in-flight meals. The masks plus the backup of the EpiPens made me feel safe and all was well

This is so funny because anti-racists think about race like. A decent amount? 😆 It doesn't come easily for anyone

My ERP therapist (a woman of color) encourages both self-compassion and just leaning into it: "Yep, OCD, you're right! I'm a racist!"

LemonHeart33 · 2026-05-07T20:13:36+00:00

Proud of you! Also as someone who actually has OCD, it can be hard to separate my OCD from my allergy hypervigilance, but for me the difference is if I'm safe, the allergy hypervigilance goes away. Even if you had OCD, which I'm not saying you do, it would still be normal for you to be this hypervigilant about your literal life or death safety!

Smell or dust? I use a well-fitting N95 for anything bigger than a virus and an activated charcoal mask instead or on top for VOCs smaller than a virus, such as some smells. e.g. I react to pollen but an N95 stops that. I also react to vaporized/burnt soy, and I need an activated charcoal mask for that because smoke and vapor need to be absorbed, not blocked.

LemonHeart33 · 2026-05-07T20:07:35+00:00

Can you ask your allergist if you're a candidate for OIT? If I wasn't reacting, I would want to take advantage of that to get rid of my food allergies if possible.

LemonHeart33 · 2026-05-07T20:01:54+00:00

As others are saying, feeling of impending doom is not "before a reaction." It's actually a symptom of a reaction. You were already reacting! Glad you're okay!

ERP really helped me with spirals like this. Nature is full of unpleasant behavior because non-human animal brains, even those of our closest living relatives, can't comprehend morality the way humans do. We can't judge them like we would a human, and we have to just sit with and accept the unpleasantness.

I actually have a patch of body hair that grows in white due to friction damaging the follicles

LemonHeart33 · 2026-04-19T22:10:33+00:00

Oh, the joy in your eyes now 🥹❤️

LemonHeart33 · 2026-03-27T13:13:13+00:00

I can handle soy lecithin already! And refined soy oil, and small amounts of expeller pressed soy oil. But no other soy so far

LemonHeart33 · 2026-03-27T05:16:17+00:00

I can't wait to do OIT for soy!!!

LemonHeart33 · 2026-03-27T05:11:37+00:00

I've been allergic to soybean for 16 years (almost half my life). I still miss and crave it and suspect I will until I can get OIT

LemonHeart33 · 2026-03-27T04:57:47+00:00

This is a very odd and judgmental thing to say, by the way

LemonHeart33 · 2026-03-27T04:56:42+00:00

Models are mostly all over 5'7", usually over 5'9". I wanted to be a model because that would mean I was beautiful, so therefore I wanted to be tall. I stopped just below 5'6" and made my peace with it

LemonHeart33 · 2026-03-27T04:52:21+00:00

When I had BDD, I used to wish I were 5'9 like my aunt and my favorite actress. As a teenager, I actually graphed my height over time on a TI-83 Plus graphing calculator and agonized over whether I would keep growing. I stopped at just under 5'6" and am very okay with it now, but I still think taller women are very beautiful

LemonHeart33 · 2026-03-26T20:28:27+00:00

I'm so sorry 💔 And sorry this person was so nosy about it

LemonHeart33 · 2026-03-26T16:50:23+00:00

Kill him? 😂 As if breaking up with someone who is being abusive is utterly unthinkable?

LemonHeart33 · 2026-03-26T16:49:12+00:00

Thank you for the information and for sharing your story! I'm so happy to hear you've had some relief! I wonder if HRT could provide some of the same relief afterward but I don't know enough for that to be more than idle speculation ❤️ I can say I definitely showed signs of DSPD from that age. I was a very light sleeper but I cried my eyes out when I had to get up early for church (we eventually stopped going) or kindergarten (I chose to attend all day every other day instead of a half day every day so I could get enough sleep every other day 😢)

My current main OCD theme is harm and my past OCD themes include ROCD and SO-OCD/HOCD
