What's up guys.

I got really crazy busy and have not had any time whatsoever to post. I barely have enough time to do anything really these days. It sux but I am hoping this will change soon so I can get back in the game and catch up with everyone's situations. For now I want to update my RU trials. So here is what happened:

My first cycle of RU took place from October 16th-18th 2017. I took 50 MG of RU all three days. I could feel the drugs effects while on the cycle but not any improvement in PFS symptoms while on cycle. For me it felt like a powerful drug the first time. The positive results started on October 22nd 2017 on the 4th day post cycle. The positive results continued to increase until Nov 3rd 2017 at which point I was fifteen days post cycle and felt about 80 percent recovered from this condition. It was amazing. So amazing that I really did not even try expressing it in words. It felt to good to be true. Nothing I have tried improved all the B.S. sexual symptoms to such a degree and this fast. Simply can't be touched as far as I was concerned.

Unfortunately the improvements did not last. Twenty seven days off post cycle on November 16th 2017, I felt a slight reduction in improvements. Nothing major though. I was still in a really good spot. Every day though from this point until about December 1st 2017, I lost my gains bit by bit until I was back pretty much at baseline.

I cant say for sure if stress was the reason I lost the gains but I can say extreme stress started for me in mid November 2017 around the exact same time my gains started diminishing. When I say extreme stress I'm simply talking about a ton of work that consumes 100 percent of my time out of work. I'm working from the time I get up to the time I go to sleep with no break at all.

But why would this matter? If I adjusted my receptor senesivity with the RU and that explains the gains than why would stress, even if it's a lot have any bearing? who knows....i can't explain it.

So from here I figured maybe I just needed a couple more hits of "RU cycle". So I did two more cycles. I ran a second cycle from 12/6/2017-12/8/2017 again at 50 MG all three days. The first thing that felt different from the first cycle was that the drug just did not feel as powerful as it did for me the first run. Also I got no improvements at all after the cycle.

So next I ran a 3rd cycle of RU from 01/7/18-01/09/18, this time at 100 MG every day. Still even at 100mg the drug did not feel as if it was having such a powerful effect as the first time. Coming off this cycle I did notice slight gains but nothing like the first cycle post RU.

Current status after all three RU cycles and over a month since my last RU cycle i am only slightly above baseline. I am trying to figure out what the next move is.

@5 alpha, sorry many of the positive results faded.
Did you couple it with a prolactin-lowering drug. Many here have said that may be an issue.
Thanks for the update.

How bout an update @5 alpha ? Would love to hear how you're doing!

Also, are you the same 5 alpha as the guy that started this thread on PH? Experiences with attempting CDNUTS protocol. : Natural Supplements, Diet & Excercise

If so and you're making gains still with RU, would be certainly a great thing to know your progress. I mean PFS for 10 years that's a long time! I think your story would give a lot of hope to long time PFS sufferers and if you're still steadily improving I'd like to see you get it out there man!

haha yea that was me. I was sick of seeing everyone argue about CD's protocol and just wanted to see people try it. I am.33 and have been suffering since 26. CD's protocol has always and still does help me. For me though it never really touched on all the ED and sexual symptoms...helped but not a ton in that department. In other words the really shitty ones.

It is important to point out though that despite my close following of it I dont think I fasted enough at the start. I only did a 7 day juice fast and because I went from 201 down to 179 in just those seven days on a juice fast its just unbearable for me.

fasting is just not for me. more recently while preparing for a colonoscopy I did a 3 day water fast and 36 hours in I could hardly get through my work day. I would need about 3 weeks off...2 weeks for water fast and extra week for refeed. money wise I just don't have enough money for this.

hopefully some day

I actually did not. It's one of the several things that I'm thinking about trying. However I don't think that being a month out since my last RU cycle that high prolactin would be to explain for the failure. also my labs showed low prolactin prior to trying RU.

after catching up on some reading here im leaning towards a R Andro run. perhaps my receptors after the RU cycles will respond positively to R Andro.

that or maybe a prog run?...i just read a thread talking about someone having luck with prog that they contributed to first taking RU

That was me with Ru/prog. I was going to give another go but realize the electrolyte protocol giving me best results yet so going to see where it takes me.

ohh nice!

I did not realize that was you. Your explanation and thought logic behind why it worked does make some sense to me though so I'm thinking about a Prog run soon.

I will have to go to your log to see the details on your electrolyte protocol

hopefully you will continue to see results

My electrolyte protocol will look very intricate at this point if you look at it, but I'm simplifying it now and seeing better results. I'll have an update early next week.
