Hi All!
I've been on HRT for over a year. I've had the expected changes: larger breasts, softer skin, fat redistribution, changes to my thingy and associated bobbles as well as wonderful emotional changes. However, I've also had some changes that I was not expecting....
My muscles work differently: my endurance has increased, strength is almost the same but recovery time after exercise to failure is off. There is a much faster partial recovery but it takes longer to make a full recovery.
I don't heal from injury quite as well.
I'm cold most of the time.
My hair is different, like, softer.
The arch on my feet is higher and my feet are shorter.
I'm way more flexible.
My sinuses behave differently. I get runny noses, something I never got before.
My muscles feel differently when I squeeze them – firm but not hard like they used to be.
Hair on my head grows faster but hair on my face grows slower.
Is all of this normal or am I just a genetically more bizarre than I thought?
Hugs,
Jen
