I transitioned 9 years ago and these symptoms started to me around 4 years in. Usually they’re not talked about in trans spaces despite being documented.

  1. Lower body temp than people who aren’t on HRT despite not feeling the cold. Sometimes I even feel hot despite my body being 36.5°C

  2. Terrible blood pressure, my nails on my fingers and toes are always purple-ish and the nails grow thin and weak.

  3. Dry skin.

  4. Extreme dry eyes, they actually cause me vision loss.

  5. Bruising, random bruises appearing on my thighs out of nowhere. One day I fell on my knees and even tho it wasn’t a hard fall I got a terrible black bruise on my knee.

  6. Dizziness, people report headaches more often but I don’t get those as often as dizziness.

Some people say “wow HRT made me feel so good” and I’m here feeling like a corpse in recent rigor mortis 💀

    Ok, maybe “maturing” is the better term for a youth like yourself lol. My comment sounded dismissive, but i mean it sounds like the combination of adding a few years and changing hormones (which is more extreme with hrt, but cis people deal with it too)

    I hope you’re able to adjust hrt or find some other solution for the more annoying symptoms.
