Cypro doses are often higher than they need to be. I went down from 10mg to 5mg after my first year of HRT, my T remained as low as before and my mood improved a lot.
That's a really high CPA dose for HRT, you can probably adjust that downwards without any negative effects. I'd try halving your dose for a few weeks, see if anything changes, and when you're fine you might be able to go down even further.
I have somehow managed to avoid trans broken arm syndrome completely during my entire five year crusade to get my chronic pain treated. Good shit
Can cyproterone acetate contribute to fatigue or chronic pain though? No, right? That'd be fuckin silly.
What is trans broken arm syndrome? I assume it has something to do with lowered bone density?
No it's the thing where you bring a medical problem to a doctor and they try to blame it on you being trans somehow!
Oh joy. That sucks to hear. I’m trans and am a hypochondriac. I’ll never get solutions to my maladies ever again.
If the concept aint that well known, maybe something good is happening and it's happening less often?
I hope so. I’m also a very insulated woman that touches too much grass, so who knows. Definitely hope you’re right though
A five year quest unfortunately sounds like you've been diagnosed as Woman and less believable when it comes to pain 😔
My gp is actually a very nice and helpful guy but my thing is weird enough that we need specialists involved, who all suck so far lol
yes, absolutely.
:(
That is not the news I was looking for.
If that is the cause of all this I'm gonna be extremely displeased.

Oh, I'm on 25mg currently. Huh...

I was thinkin I might, ty ✨
That's really high. If you're taking estradiol as well, then 5mg/day is perfectly adequate, and 10mg/day as probably as high as you want to go.

I have been on this dose for a decade
not very epic, ty...
