I already have a big blog over on www.swolesource.com . Here is the link- Been a long time coming! Overwhelmed and don't know where to start.
I've been at this Propecia battle for a little under a year now. Ive made great improvements in SOME areas, while other areas like sexual, seem to have stayed the exact same as theyve always been. On some days lately, i may seem to have some sexual increases, but theyre nothing that i havent already had in the past during PFS, so i dont get all overly excited about them. Ive had PFS for over a decade, i was aware but didnt fully fully realize it until a little over a year ago. So roughly under a year ive been at this. Im not going to go into every detail again.
Ive come a long ways, like finally defeating and conquering my non-24 sleep disorder that i had for years. Little simple tricks to beat it actually. It has opened so many doors for me. I have actually held my current job for almost a year. Something i couldnt do before, because of how debilitating it once was. And i have turned into an early bird, and i am so much more productive now, and that has opened many doors for me. I could see such being an advantage to opening more doors career-wise too. I function much better on the job nowadays too.
In other ways, i feel frustrated, and feel that overwhelmed feeling again that i felt in the beginning. I see all this stuff on here, and many different ideas all over the place. But at the same time, it truly is a pot of gold.
There is an extreme amount of good in cdnuts protocol, and alot of it has changed me for the better and i will keep doing it, but the herbs/prohormones never did anything for me. I have cycled them for 8 months, with nothing noticeable. I still cycle them to this day for fear of whatever. Is it safe for me to ditch them? Im hoping someone can tell me i
can. I am almost completely out of them, and im having less and less money, and its just getting harder and eating me alive. For 8 months, i literally everyday on a big piece of paper wrote down the herb i took and the date. I did all of this so i wouldnt forget. And kept the rotation going. Its driving me fucking insane! Especially with zero result. It would be nice for me to just be able to get out of bed in the morning and get out of the door quick, without worrying to have to memorize and write down a herb and take it. Usually if something works for me, i will feel it immediately, or within 3-4 days TOPS!! Like some other things that have worked for me. And some new things recently too. Some of those
same exact herbs have/still worked for me too, like all jammed into one in the form of Prolab horny goat weed capsules.
I have not had a sip of alcohol in 12 months. I have not smoked weed in almost 18 months. I have not smoked a cigarette/vape in 4 in a half months. Ive been following a strict strict regimen.
I like following a healthy paleo diet, with good sleep discipline, and a good exercise regimen that includes weightlifting, sprints, and physique sculpting. I like that Greek statue look!
I did two juice feasts, one which lasted 7 days, and another which was 15 days.
I also love going for long walks when i have some free time. Chi used to do that, and they have worked for me as well. I also like cold showers, skipping breakfast, doing breathwork, and some other things. Big fan of coffee in the morning too. Coffee is a lifechanger! When i was a little more optimistic about 8+ months ago.. the coffee every morning would literally give me euphoria!!! --- the best i ever felt in my entire life!
Some new recent things that i have added in that work great for me are garlic extract and buffered vitamin C. The garlic extract i think has given me my old veins back. They were starting to disappear for awhile, (im only 31), due to some of the new things ive been doing. Probably my nofap streaks or gluten free diet. But gluten free is the way to go for me and works well. also source naturals optizinc.
......
So now here we are!! Alot of great stuff on here. But all these ideas at once, and it tends to get me stressed and disorganized. I have other projects going on at the moment, so
sometimes its best for my brain to not even look at forums. But im still very active. Lots of good stuff on here like RU, ella, electrolytes, vitamins, minerals, etc.
One thing at a time. So since i already have a healthy diet/exercise/sleep discipline in place as a foundation, my next thing to try will be LICORICE ROOT! The champstar recovery really inspired me. And if that doesnt work, i will go from there. Ive been planning the licorice root for a very long time. But the reason i havent gotten to it is because of brand-specific/type-specific bullshit! Im tired of everything being a gamble, and losing so much money. Ive thrown too much money at stuff that hasnt worked. You could buy one brand of the same thing and it wont work, while you could go and buy a different brand of the same exact thing, and it will work. Ill figure shit out on my own eventually, but if someone could tell me the right stuff or type of licorice root/dosages, (powder vs. capsules,) etc.
So this is where im starting right now.
