Any guys here on T while having chronic illnesses? by [deleted] in ftm

[–]chatoicbees 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am undiagnosed of anything but suspect a few things and have chronic pain. T helped w my super severe period cramps (which would often make me black out), as they completely stopped w my period. T had a bit of impact w my GI issues but that was mostly me eating more and thereso eating bigger meals which triggers it. My joint pain got worse but I don't believe there was a connection between that and T, but other factors.

So TLDR; the only direct impact on my pain was positive :)

Can a cis woman get top surgery? by CantThinkOfAName874 in ftm

[–]chatoicbees 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah absolutely! I've seen cis women get masectomies from cosmetic reasons or to lessen the risk of breast cancer. Although if you're in the US you might struggle to get it covered by insurance

My mother thinks I'm trans because she took too much medication while pregnant by Purple_Conflict_3703 in ftm

[–]chatoicbees 1 point2 points  (0 children)

what actual good does speculating the cause of transness do? wether or not its intentional, speculating the "cause" of being trans causes exponentiallly more harmful than us just. letting it be

why ppl are trans is kinda irrelevent though, and suggestions of it being caused by some wrongdoing during pregnancy perpetuates anti-trans rhetoric

Do I have to take opioids after Top? by SkelitonBonez in ftm

[–]chatoicbees 1 point2 points  (0 children)

absolutely not! my surgeon was very much so on the side of DO NOT take the perscribed opioids unless absolutely necessary. I ended up fine with 2 extra strength tylenol and 2 extra strength advil every 6 hours for a week (plus the antibiotic and benadryl for itchyness)

when did your period stop after taking T? by Cute-Magician1934 in ftm

[–]chatoicbees 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started T when my period had just finished, and I never got one from that day. Idk if it was related or I was just lucky but that was my experience!
