One week so far on hormones!

[Shawn Sunshine]

  Well so far I have had some interesting senstations. I'm keenly aware of my thought processsstarting to change. I have felt a certain calmness and warmth overcome me. All of the sudden situations not as stressful as before. That testosterone rage is all but gone now consedering I have also been on spiro for one month. Sex drive is down...sexual thoughts not asfrequent. I also notice I'm starting to interact with people a little more gentler. I think also I can see a certain sparkle in my eyes that wasant there before. I'm on low starting amount s until my labs in 2 months or so. So far only bad side effect seems to.be that it might be amplyfing my osteoarthritis some causing more back pain.

Seems you are accepting all the effects with positive results.

Life is good.

[Shawn Sunshine]

YES I'm a catapiller eating and munching on food now. I am not sure how long till cocoon stage. I will have to ask wilford bremly and Steve guttenberg! Lol

[Ms Grace]

That's great news.

I see you have a weight loss ticker also...all the best with your program but keep in mind that, for some people, being on E tends to drive weight up - so unfortunately you may need to double your efforts if you find the ticker going in the other direction.

[Shawn Sunshine]

Yes that's true..I am walking up and down hills a lot but will get a membership at the ymca soon.  The second ticker I decided to go for a expected female puberty timeliness instead of a hrt counter exactly.

[Ms Grace]

Are you going to feel OK about exercising at the YMCA? It's a pretty full on male environment from what I've heard.

[Shawn Sunshine]

The ymca at embarcedero in san fransisco has a Transgender employee and trainer. They also have special locker rooms. Its more of a universal environment there. Also $25 a month for discount

Your very own boobies before you know it.

Congratultions. enjoy the ride.

From my experience ( this my just be a placebo effect), I am on  E, AA, finasteride and P at transition levels and I noticed my arthritis is gone. I had some minor pain in some of my finger joints and left knee. I like to walk too and my knee use to bother me 1/2 the way on my walk.

What AA are you on Spiro? I just started Spiro last week due to family not thinking I know what's going on in my body mind even though I have tried to commit suicide several times so I go this Friday to see a therapist who is transgender himself
