Title: HRT, SERM and ER deficiency
Post by: Heatwave on August 10, 2014, 03:38:17 PM
Greetings everyone. Just a bit curious if anyone above 20 has managed to get by HRT etc with ERD. Or is it pretty much a no go? I'm currently rolling into my soon to be 5th year with no results what so ever. Trying to convince doctors into ER medication next month. And from what I can tell, you can either manage a pre-menopasual state which more or less puts you/me at my current state.

I have already decided next year as my last one (club 27 yay~) in case nothing will work. But that's life... you choose how long you live it, but this is pretty much how far I will go.

Welcome to Susan's.

What do you mean by ERD?

Estrogen Receptor deficency. A very rare condition in which the body has no or very few receptors in the body which makes it impossible for estrogen to bind to anything making it useless, therefor only circulating in the blodflow untill you discard it via our natural disposal facilites.

Another condition worth mentioning is EIS but then again, it's not that really commonly known even if it would mean mostly a no-go for MTF's and the same goes for AIS and FTM's. I'm suprised no one have heard of it yet. But I can imagen most who found out about it would "disappear" rather quickly... A sad story indeed, but some of us suffer from it and living with it is just...

ERD however seems to "progress" over the years, or at least in my case were it pretty much went zero during my early months on HRT.
