2012 Scientific Research Initiatives into the Post-Finasteride Syndrome - DISCUSSION THREAD

Any news about this research?
Last Update said that more info would be announced in September…

We are in September :frowning:

Any updates of thisresearch… September is almost gone…
Any infos?

So when the study will be publish and maybe give us some answers?

Awor not updated but maybe not good news for us.

I do not think there is anything for Awor to update us on at the moment or he would have. We are awaiting the data from the pilot study to be published. He is most likely working on protocols for future research, which will take time and careful planning. He is doing all of this while working full time, supporting a family, and fighting PFS.

Trust me, just because he does not give constant updates is not a bad sign. Like he said, this is a slow process and we need to hang in there.

Stay positive and do not get discouraged by these things.

I agree with this…but at the same time I see the thought process that because many of us are helping (and being asked to) fund these research initiatives…a simple update every few months can’t hurt any body.

He’s not the only one, there are others involved with the research who can also (should also) update occasionally.

Mew… can you tell us something… is the research still go on or did something happened?

Have you talked to Awor in relation to this?..
Thank you

Check the PFS Foundation for news about any research initiatives.

I do not have any more info regarding what Awor has posted, however I assume the Foundation will help with similar or more extensive investigations.

In meantime, please donate towards research via pfsfoundation.org/donate

Mew, you at least know whether Study 1 is on track for publication. Is it still going to be published within the next 1-3 months ? I don’t think that is asking anything that is “sensitive” information…

Awor, how about an update?

Is there EVER going to be an update??? Or should we continue to “be patient”? This is absolutely getting ridiculous. I haven’t pursued any direction at attempted recovery because I am waiting on some sort of update from this so I can have a better idea of what I need to do

I agree, same here. Each day we waste our lives.

i think when there is an update, awor will give it to us. i am sure there is nothing new to report, or he would have.

Hate to say it, but this is not a silenced AR problem or partial insensitivity problem. I believe this is extremely complicated unfortunately and definitely involves depleted neruosteroids. If you see my post, they just recently discovered NO not only gives you an erection but it is important to maintain it as well. I pray though.

We already have enough armchair scientists here.

I can see why awor wouldn’t want to update. He’s got one group of people shouting “give us updates damnit!” and another group of people shouting, “your highly-trained scientists studying PFS don’t know what the problem is, I figured out the problem by googling!”

Second Amendment…talk to Alan Jacobs, he has even moved away from Partial Androgen Resistance Theory. Not Armchair QB at all, its logic. Something that has never happened before or effects that are known, in sutdies, to deplete important neurosteroids. Traish and Goldstein also believe its neurological in nature.

I also like theories that would account for every single possible symptom vs. a theory that doesnt. I like odds.

Who cares what you “can see”.
