Somethings not right

I don't know, something is different.  I don't feel as good as when I first started, or when they doubled my doses.  They backed off my Estradiol on my last visit about a month ago, by a quarter of a dose, still one and a half times what I started with.  I'm still losing weight, my boobs still are sore but they actually look a touch smaller today than yesterday, my leg hair is starting to thicken and the growth sped up again, and my chest hair needed shaved again which I hadn't needed to do for a touch over a month.

I actually feel like I'm getting sick, but would that have an effect on those things?  I don't think so, but if anyone knows, could you tell me?

I've been working almost 60 hours a week, doing my college course stuff, and taking care of the home.  So I'm pretty sure my body is about to crash out for some rest.

Hope you don't mind asking: How long are you on hormones? I have noticed a real drop in energy levels at month 6 and attributed it to work stress as well.

Maybe it is really your body telling you it is time for a break. Especially if you have been working like crazy for a long time, you may be inching to a burn out which can take an extremely long time to recover from (been there, done that). Please take care of yourself!

Around 10 months or so.  I really am horrible with dates, sorry.  My job is to take care of peoples food, and to help the residents, someone always has to be there.  Being short staffed in a town where no one seems to want to work leaves me trying to take care of multiple positions in the dietary department.  This is why I'm looking for a new job, which I'm sure is also adding to my stress pile.  I'm so going to sleep the sleep of the dead on Friday, universe willing.  I should feel better when I get up Saturday.

Can you get you levels tested easily? When I read of body hair I think Testosterone. I agree with Karyn if you can see your Dr, they should be able to help you sort out what is going on.
