I was on dexamethasone for 4 months, and after that my whole transition went to shit. On top of treating my infection I felt great at the time because it pretty much blocked my adrenals, which were producing too much DHT. But after I stopped it cold turkey 2 years ago, everything got worse day after day.
I've been dealing with fragmented sleep, oily skin, bad body odor, and increased body hair growth. I'm on bicalutamide and cyproterone, but it feels like they're not doing their job.
I think I might have developed pseudo Cushing's, and all of this masculinization could be coming from excessive cortisol.
I've been waiting for it to go away, but it's already been 2 years and I still feel like shite.
I'm thinking about taking fluconazole 200 mg daily to inhibit cortisol synthesis and try to reverse most of the Cushing-like effects. Would that work?
