Medical Issues==Depression?

This is TMI and it involves trans stuff, so I'm putting it behind a cut.

It is a possible explanation for my emotional issues though )

That sounds like a weirdly lot of testosterone. I could lose to you in a fistfight if I made it to FC!

While not knowing a thing about HRT drugs, I know that with the drugs (Auto-immune) I'm currently taking they're still tweaking them after over two years. They put me on one thing, it doesn't work, then the next one and they step through them. Each trial takes about 3 months and the research I was doing on the subject all say its normal. The classic "what works for one, might not work for all" I have had two so far I've reacted badly to, take them, get my blood tests and get a phone call from the doc "Umm, you better stop that one"

My personal belief is nobody truely understand how these things work and we're just guinea pigs until something clicks. Which sort of sucks. If you can find out someone, let me know. I was advised to try a tropical medicine department which is a sort of catch all for weird things, but I'm suspecting your concerns are probably out of their league.

Ugh. Anyone you can go to for a second opinion? I hope they figure out -something- there. >.

Yikes! I agree with the other two most recent posters-- I suggest getting another opinion or two. This is something you do /not/ want to mess up!

Medical advice second opinion now, please. Perhaps your body is trying to counter the estrogen meds by increasing your 'natural' testosterone production? You really need an expert working with you on this.

Like I'm telling you anything you don't already know. Sympathy and crossed digits for finding useful medical help..
