I Am Exausted.

[Guest Girl Emily]

Hi all,

This is going to be a short post. I can't believe how quickly the strength disappeared with estrogen. Two months only and I was barely able to carry an old 25" TV up four floors. I used to throw a M2 tripod (44lbs) on my back and then hoist the gun on one shoulder barrel on the other(84lbs combined) and walk a 1/4 mile trom the armory to my Amtrack. All at the same weight I am now.

I am going to bed now :-) I'll post pics tomorrow.

Huggs,

Take it easy, Emily......

On HRT we do lose a lot of muscle mass...

Mostly compared to 25-30% of our strength. I've tried to move things that I easily moved two years ago....

Doesn't work so well any more!

Be careful, Hon....don't hurt yourself....OK?

WOW I know! The HRT does its job and sometimes its not obvious because the muscle is reduced and a fatty layer takes its place, so we look at our arms and legs, and they SEEMINGLY have little change. Also be careful because with the lessened muscle mass, your tendons and cartledge is more exposed to injury. You can blow out your knees or strain your back.
