I was looking over this topic and remembered a bout of psychosomatic pain that I went through in the two years leading up to my transitioning, and was wondering if anyone had similar experiences...

For about two years I had extremely intense pains in my testicles and groin, and seriously thought I had a tumor.  I went to several doctors who all gave me a clean bill of health.  It hasn't occurred once since I began transitioning.  I didn't want to transition my whole life, it actually came as a sudden realization after years and years of evidence building up, and I'm convinced that my body knew before my brain did.  Or, I subconsciouly knew and my subconscious was causing me pain until my conscious became aligned with it. 

Just wondering if anyone else had similar experiences.

I'm having that problem right now, only it started after the start of transition.  I went to bunch of doctors, had ultrasound done, lots of vicodin... also tried at getting an orchi. (only my therapist isn't too hot for it if the option of srs is on the table)

I'm not sure where I'm going to end up medically, but hopefully I'll be better off once everything is said and done. (otherwise I'm going to be a ssri user for the bulk of my life x_x)

I hate some things about my body others I like others I'm indifferent about others my body is like a jigsaw puzzle the overall picture is ugly but its getting better some of the pieces need replacing badly others I'm not so sure and other are just right

so the whole thing about looking like shane...well i used to have hair like an inch past my chin and i was very androgenous looking and people used to always tell me that i looked like shane...it was awesome
