I am of the age to have kids, some of my friends have them, but I have mixed feelings about it, just wondering about other people’s experiences.

      Well the main thing it did to me was give me crippling depression. No one over the course of my life could ever figure out why I was depressed. “It runs in the family” was the excuse. My depression disappeared after the first injection. Everyday of my life I felt like there was a force pushing down on me, and then shortly after my shot it went away and it took me awhile to realize it was gone. That was a good day.

      I couldn’t lose weight no matter what I did, spent thousands on personal training over the years but I could never gain muscle, or lose the weight I gained. I was a 58 waist in Feb, and I’m currently down to 44 in not even a year. Last time I went to the big and tall store they said they’ve seen me enough this year and we switched to elastic waist pants and a stretch belt so I don’t keep having to buy clothes every 3 months.

      I never had any body hair. I would have to shave once a week before. I have hair everywhere now and it’s weird.

      Lots of other things, zero libido. I was dating my wife and she got exasperated about my disinterest in sex, it was a chore for me. I’d be the one coming up with excuses not to have sex.
