That describes me as well. For years I suffered from BPH, which was treated with finasteride. It was a disaster, except for the gynecomastia hehe. Even years after I stopped it, my sex hormones were screwed up. My urologist discovered I had a natural estrogen of 122 and testosterone 100. My estrogen was in the low female range, and my testosterone was almost as low as a natal female. For decades I didn’t notice it, and for the most part I functioned as a normal male. The only giveaways were my petite hands, somewhat androgynous face, and ectomorphic body structure. I never considered that my mood might be cyclical, much less related to the moon. Over the Christmas season, I became very upset with my brother, mother, and wife at the height of the full moon. I withdrew to my bedroom for two days and would not talk to anyone. On occasion this has happened in the past. I seem to occasionally be hypersensitive emotionally and just cannot deal with anything too upsetting. I will have to pay more attention to see if I too am suffering from “Lunacy.“
