most noticeable 1 month on T-gel changes for me:
- my ass is fatter. my partner noticed this the day after i did and commented on it without prompting, so i know this isn’t wishful thinking! it jiggles now! like it was literally humiliatingly flat before lol, people have made fun of it
- slightly more hair on my chin, mustache area, cheeks, eyebrows, thighs, and belly
- lifting heavy things isn’t as difficult as it used to be. this is huge because i notoriously lack upper body strength!
- scratchy voice some days? i feel like i can get a more ‘resonate’ chest sound but i might be imagining this tbh
- pimples ): i haven’t gotten pimples in years and now i have them on my chin, nose, and around my hairline !! they’re not as bad as i feared they would be but it’s only month 1 so… we’ll see
- bottom growth and sensitivity. this was immediate, happened the day after my first dose.
- i feel more levelheaded and clear. it’s similar to the feeling i had taking adhd meds for the first time, but different? i feel like i am a real person in the real world lol which is a wild thing for a guy with a dissociative disorder to be able to say <3
- probably some other mood changes as well? like i said, i have felt pretty good and present overall!! happy to be alive. BUT with that, i have had a few nights of angst which have been particularly high school flavored, unfortunately, but that could just be my regular mental illness peaking through? it’s hard to say and i’ll keep monitoring this to make sure it’s not a pattern
