Will You have a CD - available ?? n3rf

Today is the first anniversary of my "unification". The important stuff has already been posted in this thread. I am adding a comment today for two purposes, one being to document that I am now one year old as a castrated male, and secondly to add just a few minor updates about what has changed and where I am.

Regarding the minor update re changes, I do notice a significantly reduced amount of body hair, especially on my chest. I still have not engaged in HRT, but am beginning to think it may be necessary for two reasons: energy levels are really low, and also my muscle tone is rapidly declining. Both of these last two items are, admittedly, subjective opinions, but it is my body and those are my perceptions. Still no regrets regarding the decisions. I believe that I am more sensitive to emotional issues now, but not to the point of making a fool of myself (well, anymore than I normally do).

I have enjoyed a trip to Antarctica, am committed to meeting several of the members on the EA at a meeting in August (already have the tickets), and am planning my first ever "around the world" trip. That biggie will begin in late August (right after the MoM), and I will not return home until November.

In other words, life is good. I am happy. I am moving more rapidly toward an inner peace. And I have more friends and fun things to do that I have time for. And so, I feel totally blessed, and that is because I am (in fact, we all are).

Con mucho amor, y hasta la reunion en Minneapolis por 17 a 19 de augusto del 2007.

I can relate to the loss of body hair. I have not missed it much. I do miss the muscle tone I once had. I could live without the plump thighs I seem to have now. Of course I must admit I do nothing to regain the tone but if thinking about exercise was enough I would be in good shape.

Your travels sound exciting. I am glad Minneapolis is one of your stops.

Budley:

Thanks for all of this first hand experience info. Makes me think that there may be an alternative to autocast after all. I am glad it all turned out so well for you and appreciete the detail about how you felt about getting it done. You have done bloody well, mate as they say here in Aus.

ope I lose much body hair. I've gotten incredibly hairy in the last couple years. Eek. ~.#

Glad you are enjoying life as a eunuch. It is good hearing about great experiences and for that matter the bad ones as well. Nothing wrong with being fully informed before committing to such an endeavor as becoming a eunuch.

I shave my balls and dick, and have for many years. My wife recently got me into shaving my whole body pretty much now too. I don't see why hair would make others talk about you, and you shouldn't care either. Hair doesn't make one less or more of a man, it's your personality and your actions that make us who we are. Right?

Well, yesterday marked the 2nd anniversary of my initiation into our special community. I spent the day in my language class, a spiritual group that I am involved with, and then dinner (bowl of soup and some hot tea) with close friends at a local restaurant. This was exactly the kind of day that gave me a lot of "warm fuzzies".

Little has changed from a health condition perspective, with the exception of having much greater difficulty keeping weight under control, and the minor thing about my fingernails becoming more brittle. I remain not involved with HRT, but see the day (fairly soon) where I may do a trial run to see if it improves the weight control aspect.

I can relate to the weight gain issues. Of course I have never been a consistent weight. I was a very skinny child that everyone encouraged to over eat to gain weight. I enjoyed the approval of putting on some pounds but then I forgot to stop and so the skinny kid had to diet. The rest of my years with or without T I have struggled with weight. Good luck with your weight control.

Well, I am just about at the point of changing my mind re HRT. Lower energy level and weight control are the primary issues. I had a consult last week, and he ordered a fairly complete blood analysis. I have the results now, and will be discussing those results and options and issues later today.

Just curious: What are the downside experiences of those on HRT? I have done research, both here on the EA as well as the Internet in general. I am more confused now than before my research.
