Long time sufferer, first time caller. Just getting some thoughts out, I guess. Advice/feedback always welcome.
A lil about me:
- PFS since early 2019
- haven't made any serious recovery attempts yet
- symptoms are purely sexual (ED and hard-flaccid; low libido too, I guess)
What I'm doing rn:
- TMO diet
-- IM fasting. Try to get all my eating done from 3pm-8pm
- exercise, not the plan on TMO but my own plan for now
- not doing TMO supps for now. Only supp I take is melatonin for sleep (1-2 mg/night)
- not doing coldwater for now, either. daily schedule is messed up and I don't think I'll be able to hit the shower at a time that isn't too close to my bed time
What I wanna try soon-ish:
- Levothyroxine? My tsh was at like 5.9 in mid-late 2019 so I was prescribed levothyroxine. During a blood test in summer 2022, my tsh was at 3 even though I hadn't taken levothyroxine in many months, so I'm not sure if I need it. Might be nice to get just to effortlessly shed some pounds (I've been drinking too much lately and have gained a lot of weight). Haven't had a blood panel since early-mid 2023 so I'm overdue. Kinda afraid to get checked tbh, especially my androgens.
- Pelvic floor exercises. Need to read up on hard-flaccid and what specific muscle or whatever is out of whack and how to treat it. Would like to see a PT about it but idk if anyone around where I live even knows what hard-flaccid is.
- hCG and/or DHT gel. Think I need to lose weight before trying hCG so it doesn't aromatize or whatever. Tempted to try with DHT gel because I'm a little desperate to get out this shit ASAP but I don't want to potentially mess myself up worse especially if solo hCG would end up being enough. Alternatively, might just try the TMO prohormones. I also have some tongkat ali lying around, so I might use that as a sort of PCT.
What I might wanna try in the future:
- TEI protocol?
- Some Peyronie's treatment stuff (supplements that supposedly reverse fibrosis, extension device)
- Shockwave therapy for ED
- Psilocybin
- Penis enlargement exercises?
Ok, that's all for now.
