Hi. I am a 21 year old female, and 2 years ago I took anabolic steroids. My boyfriend (at the time) convinced me that there are plenty of women in the world who take steroids and don't have any side effects, especially if taken in very small doses. He told me he had done a lot of research on it, and that I would be just fine. He then illegally purchased them from overseas (including some for himself) and gave me injections of Deca-Durabolin once a week for about 6 weeks. Around the 6th week, I started noticing that my voice had deepened a bit, and I was beginning to develop hair around my anus. I immediately stopped taking them, because I was very upset that this had occurred. Needless to say, I was very upset with my boyfriend as well. However, it was ultimately my fault as I had not done the research on it myself. Since then, my voice does not have as deep/hoarse a sound as it used to, but I have lost my ability to sing. I used to be a talented singer, and now am no longer able to use my voice in that capacity...which is something I will never forget for the rest of my life. I think about it almost daily. I also still have hair around my anus and some around my nipples, and am in the process of getting it removed. I think my jaw may have widened a little, and I'm not sure what other effects I may have gotten that I'm unaware of. My question is, are these effects absolutely irreversable? Will they continue on for years to come? And is there any way possible to get my old voice back? Taking steroids is the biggest regret of my life. In the beginning, I thought I would become more confident about myself, but I only became more insecure. I hope you can give me some helpful information. Thank you.
