Hi Chris,

Welcome to the Archive!

Eunuch since birth? I'm surprised, then, you have trouble with a muddled mind. Thought that was only for folks who once had regular T levels then experienced a drop.

Wait a moment -- let's back up. Let me extend a VERY SPECIAL welcome to you. We have few natural eunuchs at the Archive. Your knowledge/experience and feelings will be appreciated. Most of the eunuchs here became eunuchs long after normal puberties, either voluntarily or by medical necessity.

If you feel up to it, you could post a biography in the "Fantasies and Biographies" section. (Don't ask me why those two things are coupled. They seem to be at odds with each other.)

On to the business at hand: In place of HRT, there are two over-the-counter remedies you can experiment with:

1. Progesterone Cream: Non-feminizing. Promotes good sleep when applied at bedtime. Reduces the emotional instability eunuchs can experience (but correspondingly makes me feel like a lunkhead).

2. DHEA: A precursor of T, it mildly boosts a eunuch's ability to produce T in the adrenal glands. Philip1 and I have each tried it, and it does appear to promote health. Who knows? The little boost could mean the difference between muddled and unmuddled thinking. And I doubt if the little boost can make any difference to your hairline.

Both are available in ordinary drug stores. Progesterone Cream is in the menopausal-aid section, DHEA is in the herbal-remedy section. Neither can hurt you, so may as well give 'em a try.

Hope you find something that helps you,

Terri
