Hormone Replacement Therapy - Testesterone vs Estrogen

[dev]

You've got me to thinking. I'm thinking that since my testosterone levels are typically would be between that of an adult male and an adult female and also since my estrogen levels are also typically between that of a man's and a woman's that I should just go ahead and combine a men's hormone cream along with that of a women's hormone cream and start using that instead. Probably 2 of 5 parts men's and 3 of 5 parts women's in order to offset the added T in the women's. This is because post-menstrual creams generally will only have enough for maintenance and not enough for developement and probably also for men's creams if they have that.

Now throw in no pituatary gland and try and balance the cortisol and testosterone etc. and see what fun you have. Its not easy and not near as good as what your own body should produce.

What hormones my own body should have been producing in the past it mostly never did after I was maybe fifteen years old or so. I had no idea my two under-glands had never matured and so here I am at over fifty years looking much younger than that and appearing to others as a young college or even high school aged male in a college town. As a male I am supposed to have a noticeable crossbrow and square jawline etc. and my hands aren't suppose to be small and soft but they are. So I guess I managed to have stayed a childrather than growing up. My voice is deeper than most females and therefore male. I guess I was too busy living and even enjoying my life to have taken notice. Others did and always wondered why the hell I had never bothered to date anyone even when I was the life of the party. Now I DO have two 'X' chromosomes which does mean that I was probably getting a good compliment of estradiol all along but it just wasn't enough to make me feminize much and yes I probably did have a good compliment of testosterone but that wasn't enough for much either. As far as cortisone is concerned I was thinking that I had a mild form of narcolepsy until I found out about that. Whenever I needed to take a nap, I REALLY DID NEED TO TAKE A NAP. I have fainted several times in my life. The last time I was so unable to find a place to lie down and collapsed on my way to go lie in the vehicle. They found absolutely nothing wrong with me. It was cortisone which apparently restabilizes during one of these episodes and the medics are unable to find the problem. What I had never understood until lately is that apparently certain activities (besides sex) require the use of more hormones and that sometimes the body can "crash". Coming off a flu and then going out into minus 20 degree weather after having possibly had too much cough medicine (the paramedics said it wasn't too much) and then trying to eat breakfast in a crowded place and having a lot on your mind (emotional distress) is just requiring way too much out of you hormonally. I crashed. Hopefully never again though.
