    Finasteride 'crash' while still on the drug?

    I crashed immediately on the first Propecia pill after being off of the drug for a few months. Actually, it was a generic version of Propecia. Took it at night and awoke the next morning in full crash mode. Awful. Life has been garbage ever since.

    Muscle Knots

    Interesting. I’ll look into fulvic acid and keep researching as well. I’ll update this thread if I find anything helpful.

    Muscle Knots

    I’ve had a lot of issues with my muscles as a result of PFS. Muscle wasting and weakness is obvious but also muscle knots or, “trigger points”, which are extremely sensitive tender knots of muscle. I’ve been seeing a massage therapist who is dumbfounded by the number of knots I have. She says my...

    Shrinkage shrinkage shrinkage....

    @joekool I just finished four weeks of azithromycin. The only impact it had on me is weight gain. Which, to be honest, feels great. Muscle wasting has always been one of my more severe symptoms of PFS so I welcome the fat. Unfortunately I know this is due to the antibiotic’s impact on my gut...

    Shrinkage shrinkage shrinkage....

    @helpisontheway You and I have very similar symptoms. I had really high estrogen as well. RU totally f’d me badly but it did bring my estrogen back into range. In fact all my hormones are in range. Unfortunately shrinkage is as bad as it’s ever been. Also used an anti-fungal recently. It...

    Gluten Intolerance?

    I can’t do gluten either. For those of you who have hypothyroid, get your antibodies checked. If you have elevated antibodies, eating a gluten free diet will help bring down the antibodies.

    Hi everyone. Just thought I’d share an update on my condition. Things progressively worsen unfortunately. My scalp is even oilier with even more acne/swelling/open sores etc. The scalp is literally covered with sores. It is disgusting and very painful yet at the same time extremely itchy. And...

I think that was back in Sep or Oct. currently I am on a methylation protocol...started with methylated B12 and B6, the added TMG, and now recently added SAM-e. I have significant scalp issues and am using a corticosteroid solution on my...

    @HerrFisch Megapan Endo-Dren GB-3 Paramin Endo-Pan I stopped taking ARL a while ago. Since my RU incident I’ve been working with a doc who currently has me on a methylation protocol based on all of my lab work and 23 And Me results.

    @HerrFisch Are you referring to which ARL supplements I bought?

    @HerrFisch I was doing ARL before I took a small dose of RU and sent my life spiraling down. I’m still trying to get my health back from the impact of RU. So far no luck. It just gets worse. Severe skin and hair (loss of hair) issues are the primary concern, particularly on the face, neck and...

    METHYLATION PROTOCOL

    This is interesting. I’ve been going through a methylation protocol and I have not noticed any change in heart rate. I’m not taking any potassium.

    @tanedout just curious when you’re planning to try liver flushes again. I’m considering giving it a go but not sure when that will be yet.

    @tanedout so you’ve performed liver flushes already but still have all the sides? Did you see any benefit to the flushes you did? For me, I don’t know which sides to attribute to Accutane and which to attribute to Finasteride. Pretty sure my eye problems are from the Accutane.
