I’m sorry to hear of what you’re going through Pedro but also relieved to hear you haven’t taken up the advice of that doctor/nurse who hasn’t not got a clue what she is doing. There have been bad sufferers of pfs who then took an antiandrogen or manipulated hormones and they are very sadly no...

While I share your doubts about the efficacy of this potential treatment, I understand the want to try something, anything to improve. Be sure to keep us updated mate.

Hi Pedro, I see you were considering taking finasteride again; have you started taking it again?

Why do you think vaccines and antibiotics are linked to your pfs? I had a lot of vaccines plus a course of antibiotics around 9 months before using finasteride very briefly then crashing and having very bad pfs. What are your symptoms?

Minox looks more and more like a culprit in the severity of the pfs I’ve gone on to develop. Thinking about it, I rarely had morning wood during the nearly three years I used minoxidil and my libido lowered. I’ve only recently learned that’s it’s an anti-androgen.

Trump’s been on fin for many years I believe. Obama and Tony Blair rapidly went grey once they became president/prime minister, it’s the stress of the job. Could also be fin of course.

The side effects I had while on the drug are nothing compared to what came afterwards. Imagine Trump comes off fin and the most powerful man in the world crashes. I can tell you Mike Pence would become president a day later.

Wow that’s a long time! I took it for four days, 1mg total and yet sounds like we have the same or similar symptom profile. The way you describe derealisation is accurate.

Thank you for your thorough response. If you don’t mind me asking, how long have you had pfs and how long were you taking finasteride before stopping?

@noprop You said that intermittent fasting helped you with suicidal ideation and anhedonia. Did those symptoms stay away or do you have to constantly intermittently fast to keep them away?

Dude I’m sorry to hear you’re going through this. What of the ARL supplements are you taking? Niles was recommended one which contained saw palmetto. Even if you haven’t been taking that one, a lot of pfs sufferers report taking something (usually something which lowers androgens) which...

I'm sure Baylor will be very interested in this development if he really did cure pfs.

I have it sometimes, glans will be deflated but surrounding penis is erect.

Thanks for the info. What were/are your symptoms with pfs?

21 days is amazing, well done on achieving that. Did you do it at home or at a clinic? Did you use electrolytes or at least salt your water during the fast?

@noprop have you ever used ella or ru?

Has your anhedonia and derealisation improved? If so, did you do anything specific to improve these symptoms or was it just time and/or consistent healthy lifestyle (to an extent that was possible with your list of symptoms)? @bruschi11 yes I’m very thankful this site was open when this all...

A little over two weeks on now. Initially, it practically knocked me out before bed and I was drowsy for a few hours after waking up. Now it’s still helping me with sleep and my appetite has rocketed, which is good for me as I’ve lost so much weight with pfs and I can now eat without brain...

What is HC and NTD and why did you need to recover from it?

Things I was doing prior to using finasteride which may be a co-factor in my current condition: For two and three quarter years - Used minoxidil practically every night topically. Cheap Kirklands brand. - Used ketoconazole 2% shampoo topically for the same period, 1-2 times a week with some...
