ill send you a request (badger something something i forget what i changed my username to on discord), ive been on T for almost 3 years now and am about to get top surgery (10 days!) so i can answer probably most questions you might have
I don’t check discord, but if you have a question you don’t mind being public feel free to drop me an ask here! I started ten years ago though so I may not remember some early stuff
Word, tbh I can’t even remember exactly what it was that made me write this post to begin with. Maybe headaches/jaw pain that made me think the structure of my skull is shifting 💀
Okay so I was going to say “testosterone doesn’t change your bones” and then I googled and it absolutely does 💀 Makes them stronger! Shows what I know 😅 But I would keep an eye on your pain and if it doesn’t go away I would see a doctor and see if a different dose or a different, idk, delivery method would cause less pain. (Anxiety could also be your problem—idk how early you are in your T journey but my anxiety worsened when I started T for a lot of reasons (both normal “big life change” reasons and also I think all of my lifelong dysphoria becoming less repressed and coming to the surface). My anxiety manifests in some weird symptoms (hand numbness, vomiting, the more classic chest pain) so I wouldn’t put it past anxiety as a possibility.)
Yeah the anxiety could always be a culprit. Or I’m just not hydrating enough 😅 i’m just a few days shy of 6 months and I’ve found that despite feeling more at home and confident in my embodiment, being outside in the world is harder than it used to be because the bridge of incongruence between how I feel and how I’m seen feels larger. And there’s an added anxiety of crossing the line of “perceived as woman” to “perceived as man” all the while being non-binary so that’s like a fresh flavor of dysphoria to look forward to (re: dread) and how that will affect just existing in public spaces.
Yeah that’s a lot of anxiety and dread to deal with! ☹️I’m sorry that you’re going through all that (and also relatable!) Anxiety could definitely be the culprit but I would keep an eye on it if it doesn’t go away as you (hopefully!) figure things out and find ways to address your dysphoria or settle into the new normal, etc. (I know that’s easier said than done!) But if it doesn’t go away I would definitely talk to a doctor and see if the issue can resolve with a different dose or a different way to receive it (sub-cutaneous vs intermuscular vs gel).
