In Nov I tried the herbal route and continued until the beginning of Jan. After tasting the effects of even e-lite as some refer to it, I knew I was home and needed to do it safely and monitored. My mind went to places I had long lost and I felt better than after any run I have ever done. The nice part is I didn't have to work so hard :-). Learning that my runs may suffer was a difficult but worthwhile trade. The start of HRT for me was key to get in alignment with mind and body. False faces kill me inside and I could no longer ignore the internal pull with life getting shorter by the day.
1/15/2021
Took finasteride and decided on injection to avoid liver and patches would be an issue for me running. Felt a little flushed 30-60min after injection and waves of feelings with both my body and mind. This could all be psychological but felt real. For 2 days I had a random mild headache out of the norm and my temperature regulation is more out of whack. Have a weird tingling down below that comes and goes after 3 days, difficult to describe. Had something similar years back after too much sexual activity.
Measurements as of 1/15.
--Weight 163, Height 5' 7-1/2", Waist 33-1/2", Hip 36-1/2", Thigh 22", Calf 16-1/2", band 36-1/2", bust 37-1/2"
Included leg measurements as I have been running hard for 2+ years and all muscle in legs so wanted to measure the change. In fact I catch a hard time frequently when someone sees my calves, not an easy fit for boots and would be nice for a decrease.
Will keep updating as we go for a log and thanks for reading.
