Hormone Level Effects
Hi friends! I’m looking for any insight and experiences people have with how hormone levels affect their state. I’m afab but also have pcos so I’ve tended to have higher testosterone levels, i did not treat this for a long time but have recently gone on Spironalactone which has definitely had some hormone balancing effects and brought my estrogen/progesterone levels up. All this to say I’ve really been struggling recently and I’m wondering if this could have anything to do with it, I’ve seen some people talking about higher testosterone levels helping with pain but I don’t feel like I’ve heard enough about it to know what kind of link there is if any.
(It’s also getting into winter here so extra pain stiffness etc etc can sort of be expected for me, I’ve been working a ton and some other stressful things so really just trying to get a beat on if there’s any chance it’s an external source)
Thanks in advance everyone!
