    Hi and firstly i need to say i have never ever meaured my adult height i have since the age of 16 just guessed by people around me as to my height (i dont weigh myslef either if it fits fine good if it dont then i need to diet) Since being on hormones i have experianced massive changes and one that is unexpected i seem to be a tad shorter than i was !!! looking it up online i see it is possible to experiance height loss while on hormones due to muscle mass changes and the discs in your back moving as a result i amj ust intrested to know if anyone else has experienced this?

     

    My shoe size has gone down 1 size but it has before when i was over weight and the girth of my foot decressed due to the bloating ,this to me is not shocking. what is things i used to be able to reach i cant, things i used to be able to see over i cant now. Its not a massive height change but one i can notice has anyone else experianced this or is my perspective of my own height wrong??

    Its common for people to lose height as they age due to cartilage shrinkage, but I too appear to have been affected by hormones, losing 1 1/2 inches. There is also more room in my shoes.
