are you on synthetic estrogen (the pill)?
if so, do you experience:
fatigue
thyroid issues(inability to lose or gain weight)
inability to consume alcohol
appetite loss
pain for seemingly no reason
balding
generalized chronic illness symptoms?if so, your E1(estrone) is probably wayyyy too fuckin high, due to a reaction to the synthetic estrogen
doctors say this affects 10% of trans femmes but it’s probably far more from the accounts i hear
if you feel this way or you plan on starting hrt with estrogen, please ask your endocrinologist/doctor to test your E1 AND E2 levels
you may need to switch to injectable estrogen
there aren’t many studies on how various forms of hrt affect people so please spread this around, y'all do not need to feel like this and it can be fixed
