I am two years into hrt myself. I actually never touched a steroid before going on hrt. Didn't realize why I felt so shity until I read about hrt a found out about the right blood tests to get to identify my problem. It has been the best thing I have ever done as well. Now that I am on HRT, I do blast a few times a year, but I think I am much more sensible about it then if I had done it in my younger years.
