Decided to create a log to record my pfs recovery.
Been struggling with PFS for nearly 2 years at this point after taking fin for 4 months. Had all the classic pfs symptoms which started a week after coming off, including insomnia, anhedonia, anxiety, depression, ears ringing, muscle loss, brain fog, gut issues, ED, etc.
After a year of natural recovery and a year of hcg, I had some improvements to my symptoms: I sleep about 6-7 hours per night however I never feel rested, my ears ring a little less, less anxiety, my mood has slightly improved and I no longer have suicidal thoughts although still have anhedonia and depression. I'm currently in a livable state but life is not great and I don't want to live this way. I can't even have a job due to my fatigue and brain fog. I'm in a better state than I was at the beginning of pfs hell but I am not anywhere close to where I was before. Id say i'm about 30% recovered.
For me it seems like I have low dht and testosterone symptoms even though they are in range since I have 0 acne anymore, my sweat doesn't smell, no mpb scalp itch, and I lack aggression like I used to. Sometimes I feel libido and aggression but it comes in waves and only lasting for a short time. This points to me having overexpressed AR and low 5AR.
