Hi everyone, there's a change I noticed in the short time I've been on T (almost three weeks now) that those close to me have noticed as well; I've brought it up casually with a couple of transguys one on one, and they all told me, 'that's weird, never heard of it', so I figured I'd ask here to see if anyone noticed a similar change.
For most of my life, I've always been very very cold. I just have poor circulation, sliiightly low thyroid, and I've just always been cold, especially my extremities. My hands and feet would feel like icecubes and go numb, and other people would complain it was like being poked with a popsicle if I touched em. About a week into being on T I noticed that I was stripping down more and more to stay cool, where previously I would be bundling up in robe/socks/hat in the house. If I don't strip down, I start sweating from being too hot. My dad touched my hand at about 10 days in and said, 'Oh my GOD, you're WARM! What's going on?'
Like clockwork, during the two final days before my second shot I became immensely cold again, (as well as incredibly cranky) as I usually am. Then come Monday after my injection, I start getting warm once more. My coworker asked what was going on, since I've been peeling off layers at work, too(we work outside in the early morning hours). Usually I need to insist on having the heat full blast just to stay warm, and since starting T the heat's been barely there and I don't even notice until it turns back up again, at which point I'm sweating.
My father came up and congratulated me last night on it, too. (??!) Basically saying, 'I don't know how it's happening, but you've been cold all of the time for years, ever since you started having shots you're warm almost all of the time. Congratulations,' et cetera. We speculated how testosterone could make me warm, but neither of us is sure, really. Maybe it's just a coincidence??
If any of you guys have noticed anything similar while on T, or have an idea of what causes this, please let me know, as I'm very curious.
