[Miranda-nata-est]

When I read this thread, the question I am asking is what effect NBE created hormonal changes might have on the lifespan I would anticipate without having altered my body chemistry.

This is, as far as I am aware, an unknown.


We are clearly all aware that genetic females have, statistically, a longer life expectancy than genetic males.

Ignoring all the stuff about stress related issues surrounding GD (please don't think I am demeaning stress conditions, I cracked up big time some years back) but looking at purely physical factors, I just don't know .... females are more susceptible to certain conditions, males to others ----- whether the changes I am experiencing which indicate my body is more feminine will alter the actual outcome for me and whether this can be statistically extrapolated into the population in general is, I suspect, a bit unknown given the uncertainty of any of this!!!!


We had a 28 year old kid, father of 3 and husband, die in a road crash here three days ago - the whole village knew him and it has affected us all. Life is short enough anyway - why worry - when the time is up - so be it.
