Wow, you are literally in the same boat as me. Right after the crash my sleep was fucked and wrecked. Now in the last 1 year it's recovered. It's not 100% but I am not longer chronically fatigued and thinking "I got no sleep". So, I know my sleep has improved decently.
I recovered the most when I did a zero-carb diet too. I was doing a raw carnivore diet, all raw meat and raw animal products. Extreme I know, but it worked. I still do it. Perhaps the low carb diet works because it increases stress hormones like cortisol, required to create some glucose via gluconeogensis. At the same time, it's very good for healing in general and lowering inflammation...
Fasting helps. Lowering inflammation helps. Limiting and restricting certain foods definitely help. If you are able to acquire GHB, I would urge you to try it, a dose high enough to induce deep sleep. Helen believes it helps with our cortisol, or lackthereof.
As far as brain fog, that's my main concern. I can get rid of, or trigger brain fog simply from diet. If I go pure animal products, like flesh only, within 3-7 days I am very normal and have a great mood, clarity, control of emotions and general positivity. Adding dairy makes me off balance and very irritable/foggy. However ever since working on digestive health, I can tolerate dairy more, but not 100%.
Also when I came off finasteride, I was hyper sexual, but was also taking creatine too. I was horny and stressed. Tons of fog and anxiety, but uncontrollable sexual desire.
What else do you know about people like us @Boris , what exact symptoms do you have left? What have you done to recover? We should stay in touch.
