This was about a year ago. I sounded about half as good as I looked here to be honest, but it was still a really nice experience. My thighs are like a quarter of the size they were in that photo due to atrophy and a lack of estrogen

On an unrelated note, just got back on estrogen a couple months ago and the effects of testosterone are starting to reverse, so fuck yeah

Hope you can get treatment for your disability and recover your ability to do stuff again! :)

    it's more about learning to live with it at this point since there are no approved treatments for it, but I appreciate the sentiment regardless

    Is it OK to ask what the disability is? There's been a lot of improvement in muscular atrophy treatments.

    Myalgic Encephalomyelitis, which currently has no approved treatments and no real funding towards it. Muscular atrophy is unfortunately something I'm dealing with but working against that will make the ME worse, and this illness is in fact lethal. I've been unable to leave my bed since december.
