Well when you get sick your body knows to start building up a fever to kill the virus. When it can’t create a fever then something’s wrong. That’s how I think of it. Feel free to start another topic or visit the SolvePFS forums and read the sick topic on there and you’ll see a lot of people stating they can’t get sick. You may not have that side effect, but I do/did.
Coming off my 2nd fever in a month. It was horrible, I felt like total shit for 3 days. I got sick again sleeping too cold because the weather keeps fluctuating now that it’s winter and I can’t just control it with the AC unless I turn it down to like 40-50 degrees and even then it will get colder than that some nights.
I felt myself getting sick the whole month too, I go to sleep and it’s not that cold then hours later I wake up freezing because the temperature drops during the night. I can’t put on more clothes beforehand because then I won’t fall asleep and I can’t use the heat because I can’t sleep with hot air blowing either.
This is a problem. I can’t keep just getting sick every few weeks especially now I’m going to start working. I need to move to a place where it’s warm year round so I can control the house temperature. But Florida always has hurricanes and California’s expensive. The only way I can avoid getting sick is if I choose to lose out on sleep and just stay awake which also blows.
Have you tried a smart theomstat? I have a nest and I will set it really cold for the first few hours and then I have it heat up slowly
No but that wouldn’t help, if there’s heat blowing I would just wake up cause it would clog up my nose and throat.

Makes sense. Mine doesn’t actually kick on the heat- it slowly turns off the air conditioning
Have you tried the tryptophan by itself yet? That knocked me right out. I actually had to stop taking it becuase it was so strong. It might work well for you though.
Edit: my point being you could use that to aid your sleep without having to blast the ac.
Don’t wanna resort to drugs.
I just gotta wait this out and hope my body temperature keeps improving or move to a warmer place.
Gotcha… just fyi tryptophan isn’t a medication, its an amino supplement
lol so I don’t think my suicidal thoughts are gone after all.
I’m not sure if I can put them down to finasteride side effects or outside causes. What I am sure about is after having gone through the suicide ideation from finasteride and researching information/methods on the topic I’ve had more of an inclination to actually go through with it. I’m more impulsive about it in general, like I feel like one day I might just decide to act on it. I wouldn’t actually commit suicide on my own because of the high failure rate but instead through some other method I’ve yet to decide on.
I don’t feel like I have depression either, I still look forward to going out every weekend with my friends, but the impulse is there in the background. I want to reach the goals I’ve set for myself that I think will keep me alive, but also once I reach them it feels like I will have accomplished everything and after that I don’t want to keep living with the side effects I’m always gonna have and other superficial reasons like being bald and aging in general.
It’s confusing, and after reading old topics on here that suicidal thoughts go away after a few months for most people, I’m realizing that maybe it’s not the case for everyone.
Also if you’re gonna bother replying to this post please refrain from trying to talk me out of going through with the suicide, I’m not interested in people telling me to hang in there, I’m just trying to understand and document this “impulse” side effect I’m experiencing.
I am in a similar place as you are, I was thinking about suicide just recently out of the blew. Something that seemed to get better at first. I am going try to hold on a bit longer, just because I can, and I don’t know maybe something happens that changes my condition in a positive direction, but if it gets too bad where I can not wait for that future time to come, I recognize suicide is a viable option.
