Thanks every body for the welcome.
To answer Arch's question, I was on harmones for 13 years. My voice dropped, I grew a beard, oddly enough, my shoe size went up a notch ( don't know if that's part of the package. Haven't heard that from anyone else) my sex drive increased, and the humilation of having a period stopped. My body fat shifted and I even developed an inguinal crease. I'm athletic, so I was delighted to see my muscles become more developed. I was in heaven.
I had to stop the harmones because, due to the abuse of anabolic steroids by athletes, they became a controlled substance and I could no longer afford to buy them. I was getting sixty tablets in generics for $3, then they went up to the same amount for $75, then they went up to $86. At that point, I gave up. So, although I kept most of the characteristics I gained from them, the period came back. I hated it so much that, even now, I find it difficult to write or say that word. I finally went through menopause and that problem is gone forever.
I am glad to be a part of this community and am looking foreward to sharing back and forth with everyone. Thankyou for being here.
