Indeed. Aside from the hours it took to do this, it took quite a toll on me reading each case and absorbing all of the pain and suffering.
I’m so relieved it’s finished.
Fair play man.its a great piece of work.clearly lays out just how global this scandal is.
Brings home to people that guys everywhere are affected and no one is safe.fair play.
I hope this thing gets taken off the market.its not a help to people,it’s not a drug,it’s a fucking weapon,a toxic piece of matter that is not much different to rat poison for humans.
If this poison taken off the market just one month we would have sooo much more pfs victims. And it will be mercks end. Thats why theyre hiding truth and defending so much. They did a mistake and now they know it, they must keep going to sell or pfs bomb will explode.
Good point: at some point awareness of the dangers of Propecia will reach a point where wives and girlfriends will start pressuring their men to quit the drug. And then, many of those men who never had any trace of PFS, will develop the condition.
That indeed will be an epidemic.
And right in the middle of Merck trying to sell the drug off to some overseas pharma company.
A few of the cases on the map are actually women (girlfriends, wives, mothers) asking for help on behalf of their male relative who is on Propecia.
nopecia,
I updated my profile here if you want to add it to your map I’m in Dublin Ireland.
Thanks Mark, I’ve added your case.
I’ve had a few PMs asking for other changes. Please just let me know if any pins need amending. Happy to do so.
Deleted a few due to requests. Happy to oblige with them but it does diminish the effectiveness of the map.
interesting that the biggest study on propecia was done in Japan where almost no cases of PFS are reportet on your map. The sudy also concluded there were no cases of sexual disfunction after discontinuation althouhg testing over 3000! men.
Seems that men with japanese heritage dont suffer fro PFS.
Yeah, the Japanese study is often cited by those who support Propecia. I have said before that since male pattern baldness is genetic, how can you confirm the safety of a drug in use of Caucasian males using data from Japanese men? You can’t.

Really great work nopecia can’t thank you enough for this. I’ve read that there are over 4000 reported cases in the USA and that’s just from those who know that their condition is linked to Propecia. As my symptoms worsened over time it took me 2 years to discover that propecia was the cause.
Thanks Andy!
You reminded me to update the map actually. I’ve added 16 more cases since the last month.
Good work. Please add me. I live in Trondheim, Norway.
Stop… people are listed by nickname and location only. They’re still anonymous.
Some people just prefer to suffer in ignorance. Every sufferer can contribute in some way, even if it just means their name on a list, you can still contribute and add value to the cause.
Thanks Andy and thanks for the feedback. The map only illustrates anecdotal reports to this website. It may not be scientific but I think it’s effective. If I’d taken a look prior to taking propecia I wouldn’t be here.
Just an update that since I created this map in June 2014, it has been visited 2000 times with over 6000 marker clicks. Remember each of the pins on the map provides each member story (of 1015 stories in total), with a URL link to their topic on this forum.
Please keep sharing this visually effective reminder of how widespread PFS is!
I will update the map again soon to reflect the hundreds of new cases added to ‘Member Stories’ in the intervening period.
Thanks!
This is all good exposure for our cause. Great job mate, much appreciated!
Cheers Andy.
I should really have linked the map again for convenience: http://bit.ly/1hLvvdo
