    Thanks for the video! :) Met some cis-men who started balding at age 18, and trans men who have lost significant amounts of hair in their 20s after like 5 years on T. So your milage may vary I guess. Is testosterone dosage a relevant factor at all? Like is someone who takes a "full" dosage/who's body produces more testosterone more likely to go bald than someone who's microdosing/who's body doesn't produce as much (but is still within the common male range)? Also did you end up making that follow up video about hairloss prevention products?

    I had chs and I did not know I had it. I smoked weed for 30 years. My chs came about 3 years ago. The first thing that happened was I was smoking a spliff, and halfway through smoking the spliff, I had very bad nausea, stomach pains and stomach cramps and I then vomited, i didn't understand why i vomited so I continued to smoke. 3 months before this happened. My marriage broke down and I was missing my children so much I could not cope, so I was already in a bad state of depression and not sleeping or eating much. I continue to smoke after this first bout of vomiting. After this first bout of vomiting, i could not eat food, and my insomnia kicked in very badly. Maybe I'm just eating two spoons of my dinner per day, and maybe 2 to 3 hours of sleep a night. I continue to smoke weed. I worked through this whole period doing manual labour, and somehow my body was still functioning, and I felt strong even with lack of sleep and hardly eating food. I was functioning on Coca-Cola, Lucozade, and spliffs. Basically I was ill for 6 months and continue to smoke without knowing the reason for my sickness. 6 months later, I hit a brick wall, and my body started to shut down. I went from 17 and a half stone down to 12 stone in 6 months. I started getting stomach cramps, stomach pain, vomiting from time to time, gastro problems, hypnic jerks when trying to sleep, Tinnitus in the ears. once I did fall to sleep then I woke up with tremors. Muscle spasms. Muscle stiffness. Muscle pain. Bone pain. Muscle spasms in my back . Found it hard to walk. Numbness down my legs. Vomiting, nausea.Waking up with numbness in my arms and hands. Anxiety, Muscle spasms in my throat, throat tightening every time I lie down to try to sleep. Constipation, Haemorrhoids. I could not urinate properly. The Muscle spasms in my throat when I try to lie down were causing my throat to close. All this time, i was going to the doctor's and getting nothing back from the doctors with regards to why I was getting all these symptoms. The doctor was offering me muscle relaxant tablets but I could not take them because they made a lot of my symptoms worse. the doctor was telling me to sleep sitting up due to my throat closing when lying down. They sent me for every check-up you could imagine and found nothing about the causes of my sickness. They did find I had developed a hiatus hernia. As more time went past, the muscle spasms in my throat got so bad that I could not smoke because my throat started to close when standing or sitting. This obviously stopped me from smoking. My anxiety and depression were so bad from missing my kids and all the symptoms from the chs and I was still not diagnosed. I felt like I was dying. My nervous system was in a very bad way. I was researching everywhere and came across CHS. I then took this to the doctor, and they diagnosed me with CHS. I continue to work through this whole period. Looking back, I do not know how I got through. But I think the continuous moving of the body was helping me somehow. I started to eat a little better and slowly slowly I started to put my weight back on. After 1 year of me sleeping sitting up I was finally able to lie down without my throat going into spasms so I could lay down I started to sleep a little better slowly slowly. It's been 2 and a 1/2 years since stopping smoking. After 1 year, I was still in a very bad way, with many symptoms still remaining. After about a year and a half they found a 7 mm polyp which they cut out of my stomach. Through this whole period of me being sick with chs i had found having hot baths with Epsom salts was helping me a great deal. Putting warm olive oil all over my muscles was also helping. Drinking bone broth also helped a lot. After 2 years, my haemorrhoids started to calm down. I was able to go to the toilet better. Both urinating and pooing. It's been 2 and 1/2 years, and I still have tinnitus in the ears and spasms in my back and back pain, but it's nothing like the spasms and back pain I had before. I'm still suffering a little bit with insomnia. And when I wake from sleep, my arms and hands still go numb and numbness down the outside of my right leg mainly my knee and thigh. The biggest help I have found in my healing period was through cranial therapy. When I start to feel quite good, sometime I would try to drink alcohol and smoke cigarettes. Drinking alcohol and smoking cigarettes seems to bring back some symptoms. I tried to drink sometimes to test my body. But then I realised I could not drink. Same with smoking cigarettes. Some symptoms start to come back. I have come to the realisation that I can not drink alcohol or smoke cigarettes. And obviously cannot smoke cannabis for the rest of my life. Even standing next to someone who is smoking a spliff affects me. I was always a very fit and strong individual and felt invincible. But this whole experience has humbled me. Please look after yourself and your health mentally and physically. The one good thing I can see about CHS is that if you stop smoking weed and live a healthy life it can go away. As I said I still have some symptoms. But I feel like if I look after myself hopefully I pray to God that all my symptoms will eventually go away. it is possible that there is damage done that cannot be repaired from but I am very thankful and go forward with a positive mindframe. It is very good to see that there is information out there for people to find. It did not occur to me to go on UA-cam and type in chs back then. But even the videos on UA-cam here do not talk about half my symptoms. I obviously took chs to the Brim. And maybe I'm very lucky. But it is very good to see there is information out there and people are learning more and more everyday about CHS. If you feel you have CHS the beginner of CHS or you feel you have had it for a while please stop smoking now. Go and seek help. As I said the best thing that I found helped me was cranial therapy and God. God bless you all out there, peace 🙏

    As a trans guy 11 months on T I keep struggling with lower abdomen pain. It feels like the pain you get when your period is about to start but the pain is often really damn strong. I haven't had my period in a solid year because of progesteron pills I still continue taking to this day as contraception. I'm scared of going to the gynaecologist and with top surgery right around the corner (literally) I'm just very anxious about everything rn, being a nervous wreck so I feel like I'm overthinking things

    There’s also an implant this video didn’t mention, it’s a small pellet of progestin (I forgot if it’s also available combined with estrogen since I’m mostly interested in the progestin version) which will get implanted under your skin and slowly release the hormones. It lasts a lot longer than the shot, I forgot how long exactly, and past that it stops working/you have to get a new one implanted if you want to continue using that method. It might be worth looking into if you want a longer lasting solution but don’t want an iud or endometrial ablation (yet). It does create a little scar, so that might be worth keeping in mind. I don’t know how expensive this is, and how it compares to other options in that regard. I’d look it up online yourself or ask a doctor about it if you want to know more about it.

I don't know if it started before or after taking depovera or what or obesity? Sometimes I feel uncomfortable when I wear sports bras. I have sports bras that are a little old but not really old and I actually get some discomfort wearing them I basically always have to wear a compression top whenever I'm not binding with my GC2B binder. I just put one of mine on I have an exercise yet but I feel fine, it might just be temporary tension.

    I have aura or ocular migraines and I have had many stroke-like symptoms around the end of my third month on estrodiol. My doctor cut my dose in half and switch to me to Patches and I just started those today. Soon after putting on the patch I started having heart palpitations and shortness of breath which I'm still having 5 hours later. I've been a heavy marijuana smoker and I've been out of work for 8 months due to a broken leg so my marijuana consumption has only increased due to insbikity to cope with boredom until i csn return to work. I'm putting away the marijuana and vaping to help reduce stroke risks. Marijuana is associated with increased risk of strokes in heavy users but the reason behind it is currently unknown. I took the patch off for now and I will be reaching out to my doctor about it.

    • @Anne-yh1vv
      @Anne-yh1vv 28 днів тому

      No, you will get a deep voice _fast_ from testosterone, and substances like it. You will also get facial hair after a while. You can't pick what effects of it you want, and what not. I think you should try to get comfortable with your own body. I recommend going for a swim to feel the water flowing against your body, or making something with your hands and seeing what you can do. Talking with your parents or other adults you trust, that have known you for a while, about your childhood and who you are, might also help. Listen to them, seriously. You guys are very young. _Please_ wait until you're an adult to make decisions like that, you might not realize it, but you actually don't really know yourself yet when you're thirteen to eighteen. The testosterone will have permanent effects on your body if you take it. For the rest of your life. You might not like that later on.

I feel like I've been put in the wrong body a lot somstime; I wish I looked more like a boy and was seen as a I boy but even if I could, I wouldn't take testosterone right now. I'm very sure I will when I'm older, but as you said it's a life changing decision that I don't think is safe to make at my age. EDIT: Okay, after some thought and talking to people about this. If someone is suffering from dysphoria I think they should get gender affirming care (testosterone/estrogen and hormone blockers). It's not as bad for me but for some people being in their bodies is hell and they deserve to feel better. Also, I don't think taking hormones is as permanent as you say it is.

    But there is 5-alpha reductase in the skin, so I'd think that T-->DHT conversion can happen right where the hair follicles are. Also, I've heard that Testosterone is still responsible for the hair follicle maturation into androgenic hairs, while DHT is responsible for how quick it grows. Not sure if that's true though.

    Dr. Ben, you are an inspiration. As a trans man, it is so meaningful to me to see representation in the medical field. Thank you for sharing this information.

    I had no drains by a doctor in Mississauga Ontario Canada. He does similar work to doctor garemoney he does drains. This doctor I went to did not do them on anyone. I was fine I had no problems at all. I have a really high pain tolerance. I did not even take the oxyi that was prescribed. It hurt standing up every morning but I knew it would eventually go away and it did.

    Im 9 years on T but i still have a very prominent hourglass shape it makes me lose motivation to try to lose weight because when i tried to lose weight only my waist gets smaller but my hips stay the same size 🫠 i have always been consistent with it and i had top and bottom surgery

    Great informative video. My Cis male cousin had the same surgery because he had Gynecomastia (Man Boobs) and His nipples fell off. He lost both. He came to me afterwards so I helped him heal without infection but the nipples were already gone. Wish he had down his research and watched videos before having the surgery . I believe he would have had a more successful surgery. But thanks again
