PFS Log

[merebalacy]

Hi all, I've been in the discord for a while but never made a post here. Wanted to put all my info in one place for the sake of convenience and hope that my story might help someone else too!

I took finasteride topically for a month or so in November 2023, and got sides on them; voice cracking, low libido maybe a little brain fog, body aches, and ball pain. All left after a day off of it, but like a dumbass, I went at it again and again until I realised that it was simply not sustainable for me. It was a week after that I got ball pain again, and woke up one day with hard flaccid. This gradually improved, until I took cyclosporine topically. I was getting super tired and I couldn't understand what was happening, POTS, my lips, hands and feet went blue couldn't exercise or do shit without almost collapsing. I got a viral throat infection after this, and here is where I noticed some bad things happening. My joints started cracking like a mf, not just a little but a fuck TON, I lost a little muscle but hey-ho at least I was okay symptoms-wise. Then my skin started getting progressively looser, and dryer. I dropped the nicotine that I was using and noticed an improvement in my symptoms straight away, was off of it for two weeks, and then crashed to oblivion when I restarted usage.

My side effects then were; dry ass skin, muscle loss (symmetrically throughout my whole body all in a couple of hours), no pumps, no mind-muscle connection, crazy saggy skin and a fucked up dick.

I recovered the above until August brought an odd body change. I had horrific histamine issues, exercising would fuck me up; my throat would close up, hot flashes, stiff neck, runny nose etc etc. I had no clue what was happening and I then got a bad eye infection, which led me to take cyclosporine which caused my joints and connective tissue to dissolve, until I crashed again and the same shit happened before. Severe POTS, hot flashes, then the SAME EXACT viral infection WITH THE SAME SYMPTOMS and degradation. This has now only JUST started improving, I noticed fasting for a little while would make me feel a lot better, so I kept on doing it for the whole of December. It was a horrible experience and I genuinely never wish that on anyone; severe suicidal thoughts, anhedonia, muscle atrophy (symmetrically throughout my whole body all in a couple of hours) no hunger, cold all the time, couldn't sleep even for an hour, crying like crazy... It was like I had finasteride in my body, which led me to wonder about re-exposure, or maybe it was still in my body.

Now, I want to get to the bottom of this, so I'll probably be doing TEI for a little while to fix my immune system and other shit when I stabilise. Currently working with Bruschi and trying some stuff to help push me forward a little more.

It would be great to revive this forum once more, RWAC, Tubzy, Mnk, Bruschi... It's fantastic that you guys are still here, which helps us who are in the shit a lot more than you guys could ever imagine.

Here is my HTMA and oligo that I did. I am planning to do another as I was taking a fuck ton of Vit D (5000IU) per day for a month or so which probably drove my calcium up. So now, Its a normal diet, no supps retest then get on a program! *ADDED HEAVY METALS FROM OLIGO*

 

[Fazed22]

Don't take Vit D supplements they mess up bile badly, use sunbeds or UV lamps instead if you want vit D. A Magnesium spray would be helpful for you probably and vitamin K also.

 

[bruschi11]

List last oligoscan here too. Next to the hair as it is such an awesome combo.

 

[merebalacy]

Bloods that came in today... Low T, E2, high SHBG. @bruschi11

 

[ruprmurdoch]

high arsenic- it may be symptom of low folate
high shbg-you can try vit b, especially b1 i think

Folate is 9.9 ug/L, so its probably from my water perhaps? Idk

Need the metals with the oligoscan. It’s pointless to just see the minerals the way things are going with these things.

I don’t think your arsenic is bad in Oligo. It may not be a chronic issue. Something you’re dumping right now the arsenic. You can bind it up for sure . Getting metabolism working right may lower it.

This is what my biome-sight now looks like after my latest crash. High amounts of Vit K producing bacteria probably there to protect me from calcification.

@Fazed22 I am pretty sure you are dealing with E.coli issues as well, have you gotten past this?

 

[merebalacy]

I have realised that I feel a shit ton better on 5aris, almost instantly, and probably recovered 100%. Everything starts working, digestion, muscles, appetite etc. But obviously, I crashed off of it, so I'll probably not use it again unless I am feeling super shitty and need at least one good day in my life lol.

I think calcium is a HUGE part of this, considering I first crashed not after fin, or on fin. Sides went away and I was cured-ish. But I went on cyclosporine, a calcineurin inhibitor. After of which I got a surge of inflammation and this whole ordeal started. Whenever I go on it, instant joint cracking and pain, bone issues etc. Seems it fucks with my calcium significantly and now I am in the shit with bone pain and loss.

If I fix this calcium issue I am sure I'll be recovered quickly. I am keen to see what this next hair test in 2 weeks will show me as I am in the SHITTER.

I can't wait to look back on this and thank myself for not giving up. BONE LOSS IS A BITCH THO.

I moved back home for this hair test, so I'll see if it was because of the water in my dorm. If it matches then calcium shell is true and arsenic exposure is real. This is why I can never be sure with only one test, goes for oligo etc. Environments change, and different factors are at play 24/7 365, high calcium like that may just be from hard water; skewing my test significantly.

I think HTMA + cross-referencing with an oligo may be the best route to follow to determine the validity of your test.

@MNK99 Where you at bud? Come show your face here!

 

[MNK99]

Busy working. markets kill ppl. i can't fk around. and im sick. my throat hurts. and im working out. and being pretty. Plus I gotta study for this other stuff.
Saving my energy to workout and work. And dealing with various events and or circumstances, in various ways. No more questions.

I tried to take the stuff to kill it but it backfired, for me I think I need the E coli and I agree with gbold that flora is protective and there for a reason.

High Clostridia is bad though and will cause neurotransmitter and autistic symptoms maybe you can take some things to kill it.

Also think I saw you post somewhere you were eating some potato crisps with seed oils, you can't be eating that stuff if you wanna get better, avoid things made with toxic seed oils and just cook with coconut oil, otherwise you will be an Estrogenic mess. And try eat organic food too if you can afford it.

Coconut oil is what crashes me sadly, so I’m avoiding that and just cooking with butter.

What does your hair test look like?

I just dumped copper in my latest one from doing coffee enemas for a few months but my potassium tanked. I don't have PFS or CFS or anything like that though.

Coconut oil or 100% GMO free, organic, grassfed beef butter (or similar. Tallow, whatever possibly goat butter, bison butter, and the like. A2 goats not so bad for many people).

Possibly olive oil but much of olive oil is faked, and cut with rapeseed oil and or canola and other stuff. Need the stuff from Greece (like actually from Greece, not cut by the Italian mafia and others).

EGGS and CHICKEN are very sketchy in most of the WEST, incl. UK. Need a farm or a friend with Hens or something or get organic, non caged...

Maybe sardines, tuna, and whatever else works. Beef and lamb. Some fish like 2-3x a week.

Maybe u can make beef bacon and like, keep the fat to cook other foods in @Fefi (like people do with Pork bacon).

VEg oil definitely bad. Had some yesterday, no cheese no veg oils.. drop 4-5lbs in a couple days. With it, I feel sick an hr or 2 in the morning not that sick but like stomach hurts, fluid retention.
Same ten-15 yrs ago mostly as well. I am usually pretty healthy but yeah I can sick easily at times.
Just steaks, bison, and lamb or that and fish.. or steak and ground chuck.. or whatever, I mean, I'm leaner, fitter, less or no asthma... and the like.

My asthma was gone 2-3 yrs mostly after orthomolecular medicine but down 95-99% from like 23-27 and 39-21 or so also down.
Quitting habits is easier with carnivore but hard to stick to for most ppl. Also pretty expensive. But cheaper versions do exist.

Veg oils in some Indian vegetarian food messed me up yday and also some sauces and a tiny bit of bread. Digestion and stomach pain wise and wasting time getting ready a bit.

But meditating more should help on diet and habits.
Like should help me with nofap. Should help me drop vaping, (esp when sick, with a cough/ chest cough or irritated throat cough (like now)).
And it would help with working out... because I don't need to delay my workout 3-10hrs because it also helps work discipline (and removing myself from screens and just setting limit orders).

And also strict diet will help me not be in pain in various areas, like knees, ankles, back, and neck.. so I don't need to take so long to actually workout.
Took salt rinse for throat, saline solution, cough syrup several times last few days. But I did saline solution everyday for like years. Took salt in water and gargled during my workout (at my home gym).

There may be traces of nuts in this vape juice or it is just really irritating with connective tissue/soft tissue stuff in throat, right now.

TEI hair test came in. Calcium came down, high arsenic. @bruschi11 selenium is normal here?

 

[merebalacy]

Hard couple of weeks—insane head pressure and pain in my skull with vomiting. I can't really use my eyes as it hurts too much. ugh.

Lith non existent I think it’s the aluminum still killing you.
