Had you ever had a temporary or “false” recovery since the time that you quit until now? just curiosity

Since beginning of 2011, I feel like I’ve been improving. Ever since I was able to have sex without Cialis, things just progressively got better. And ya, there would be times when I was hornier than others, but in general… since early 2011, it’s been on the up.

Here’s an example of a spontaneous erection I got today… this is literally a random girl I know from work, and have never hooked up with or anything. This took me by complete surprise when she said this, and it got me really hard. Just curious, would something like this cause a spontaneous erection for you guys?


I have felt like this about 3 times and all the time, the recovery turned out to be partially false. I can have almost normal sex most of the times now except for some. My major failures are in evening, nights and mornings are good. The thing is 2 times when I felt like recovered, lost that recovery for a couple of weeks again once when I took antibiotoics+ paracetamol for my flu, and second time I over drank beer and started feeling erection problems. The first time also there was a mini crash when I drank a little too much. To add to it, I now have a urinary tract infection and kidney stones.

Its great you recovered, but be careful on drinks and medications.

It sounds to me you are actually recovering in that case, more than most of us here anyway.

Hey all, just wanted to post an update on my progress. It’s been a while since I posted here.

I’m reluctant to directly post this to the recovery section, for a couple reasons, but overall… I’m doing really well with PFS (if I even still have it, honestly).

Long story short - I haven’t even noticed until I thought about it, but my libido has been really high for like the past year or so, literally feels like pre-PFS state. I get spontaneous erections regularly, wake up with morning wood regularly, haven’t had an incident where I ‘haven’t been able to get it up’ as far back as I can remember (literally can’t remember the last time I couldn’t get it up with a girl in bed). Physically, I’m in really good shape. I get the urge to masturbate/ejaculate multiple times daily.

Reasons I don’t know if I would outright post this to recovery…
-Every now and then, I’ll pop a half tablet of viagra before getting laid (to make sure there are no issues down there).
-Don’t wanna “jinx” it
-I don’t currently have a girlfriend, so don’t have sex daily or anything

Things I’ve done that I felt contributed…
-Eating well
-Exercising regularly
-Sleeping well
-I took some supplements for a while, but no longer take them regularly (multi-V, fish oil, Vitamin B Complex, vitamin D, etc.)
-Maybe just time overall? (I stopped taking propecia back in the winter of 2009, so maybe just time overall helped?)

Anyway, just wanted to provide an update. If anyone has any questions on anything, feel free to ask me, and I’ll try to help.

You marked gynecomastia as one of your problems before. Did your gyno went away after recovery? I hear the only way to get rid of gyno is surgery.
Another question is about digestive problems. Did you ever had any digestive problems while you had pfs?
