Insane HUNGER!

[Felishia]

I'm HUNGRY all the time, and this is highly annoying; I have 1 year of HRT now, and it used to be something small that helped me to gain weight as I was depressed at the beggining, but now, it's quite insane.

My stomatch makes noises, my legs tremble and I feel so weak; then I get a plate of food and it's like if I hadn't eaten in days, I may be eating 8 to 12 times a day, in portions, that you won't consider that small, and MEAT specially meat!

But the fact is that I'm not gaining weight, I just gained five kilos at the beggining and that was it, I still look very thin; the problem is that the hunger makes me unable to perform other tasks, because it's insane, I have to stop doing what I am doing all the time, just to find food.

Come on, tell me I'm not the only one that got this; I'm so damn hungry now, I feel so sick and weak, and I ate just 2 hours ago.

BTW, no money to ask a doctor, I don't have access to health-care.

I'm Venezuelan, don't tell me about free healthcare here, they won't attend me because trans reasons.

Jesus a WORM :c I had one as a kid, and it was no good, however I had a test on december and it showed (apparently) no parasites.

I'm hungry all the time since stating HRT , but I gain weight which I want to lose. Sounds like you really need to get to some sort of clinic to get checked out

Maybe you should eat more.

Or maybe you have like a tape worm D:

This... its common to be always hungry if you have some kind of parasitic worm inside you eating up all your food. You should seriously get checked out because a tape worm is no joke lol.

Since starting HRT I haven't been "more hungry" as much as I just have strong cravings for the strangest things (mostly vegetable things which i find hilarious because i use to hate everything but broccoli, now i eat everything that is a plant). But my stomach is too small to eat more than I already do. My wife eats a bowl of cereal, a bowl of fruits, a piece of toast, some eggo waffles and a glass of juice in the morning... i eat one HANDFUL of her cereal and feel full for the next 4 hours... then again it is a 60% fiber cereal...

it could also be "what" you are eating. I mean you say meat, but what exactly do you mean? Burgers? steak? ground beef? etc? A lot of times parasites cause beef-specific cravings, so you will feel the desire to eat large amounts of meat, but its really the parasite seeking it, not you.... also; often times, undercooked meat or meat not kept in the most hygienic of conditions can have parasites in them that can be transferred to you, the most common of which being Tape worms... you may not have money for a doctor or health-care.. but i think you can just ask the doctor to bill you in increments.... worst case scenario you'll just get hounded by debt collectors that can't really do anything but harass you with calls until you pay... but most doctors or hospitals wont make you pay a large sum up front (assuming you're in the US)... but hey, its a better alternative than getting extremely sick or worse >_< i mean being really hungry is one thing but... craving primarily meat and feeling weak and sick after 2 hours of not eating.. that can't be good

Source: 3 years of culinary school and learning about parasites that live in under-cooked or badly kept meat. they kinda beat it into our heads.

If you have a friend who is a diabetic see if they will check your sugar for you before when you are weak/shaking and then an hour after you eat.
