That's really interesting Roseenglish, and makes perfect sense. I've suspected for ages that it was testosterone that was the main problem, my levels are so low I have pretty much no leg or under-arm hair at all (quite convenient really!) and when I did tolerate it for just a few days my mood, energy and anxiety all improved and my libido absolutely hit the roof! Then it all stopped and I got my usual depressive reaction instead - so frustrating. Wonder if there's anyone out there who specilaises in T levels in women.....
Just done some research and it turns out that cold-water swimming, which I've found really helpful, also increases your testosterone level. It's all making sense - now just have to find a way of taking the damn stuff
