Have you considered balancing out your estrogen with some testosterone? You could go on a low dose and get your strength back.

- sterlind 5y agoI should consider it. I have EDS, which disproportionally affects women for hormonal reasons. T might help me build muscle to compensate for my elastic connective tissue. but I remember feeling like I'd been poisoned when I had to go off hormones for a while and felt T come back. couldn't hurt to try though.
- actuallyalys 5y agoA blood test might be a good start. My suspicion is that if you're at or below the typical range for cisgender woman, you might have more room for adjustment before feeling poisoned.
