I understand many of our lives collapsed after finasteride.
Those with brain fog; how many of your lives ‘completely’ collapsed after finasteride?
I’m curious. I’ve spoken to several ‘lucky’ guys who have great supportive families, but spoken to many others, who have been shunned, and suffer immensely with little to no help. Everyone on this forum is not fortunate, but there are many who suffer more than others on here, because of other factors that became worse, or occurred simultaneously, along with the finasteride illness. It’s hard enough to have this illness, but going about it alone, shunned, and ravaged, is absolutely terrible.
Anyone stuck in a terrible living/life situation with PFS?
My life literally fell apart in 4 months after fin. Alcoholism, lost job, quit school, suicidal, basically thought life was fucki.g over. Now im in rehab. Im also back working. Life still feels fucking miserable, but i am moving forward atleast.
My twenties and probably beyond will be robbed from me. I am truly desparate for revenge. Little jokes about aging, sex, or anything sets me off bc people take it for granted and take it lightly. Prime of my life ruined bc of a hairloss pill. I have become a hateful, bitter person. Im ready to die, i am already dead within. I just want others to pay before i go
you came off the drug recently man, and i remember the first year or so i felt so awful it was truly indescribable, when my family told me to tell them what in the hell was going on with me i could only say “my soul has been ripped from my body”
i think you will get better man, do not lose hope, we are here for you man, in the meantime try to find some peace from this hell, because it will help your mental state, just dont do anything drastic, we will figure this shit out man
Robertino, you’ve been complaining about your living situation for at least a year, what have you done to change it? Alcohol does not help brain fog in the long run and the money spent on alcohol does not help you escape your living situation.
I feel the same. Everyday I watch my life pass before my eyes. Stuck like this perpetually. My career ruined at the same time my chances for having a family taken from me. Everything destroyed… nobody cares except us fellow sufferers. What is the point of living like this with no end in sight and empty promises renumerated over and over again…
MartinM? Who are YOU to judge me? A very callus thing to say. Why put another member down, or by calling them out?
Has it occurred to you, that some here are REALLY, and not just making excuses, fucking stuck in miserable situations, on top of being sick? No concern of yours, but I don’t drink anymore. However, If you were here to step to me, and talk shit to my face with your negative reinforcement, I’d kick your stinkin’ ass to a pulp in person.
What have you done to help me, other than criticize me?
Complaining? You don’t even know my real story or situation, and the hell I’m stuck in, so how can you criticize me, or call me out? I hate bully scumbags like you.
Your statement has contributed absolutely NOTHING to this post, but only sheer negativity. Thank you.
Not just my dick, its weaker muscles, stature, beard, face, voice, endurance at work, more fat, everything that made me a man has been stolen by 9 pills of FUCKING PROPECIA!!!. Feel like im back to pre teen age in some ways.
Mine as well. It’s a nightmare still. Emotionally, I liken it to being poisoned, and your brain changes, and everyone around you rejects you, or becomes a ruthless criticizer. You see, my mother was diagnosed with terminal cancer, during the same time, that I became very ill from propecia. My father started to beat the shit out me, and abuse me emotionally. During my moms illness and my own. Every time I tried explaining my predicament, I was insulted and told to fuck off. I saw my mother die, and I had to pretend I was alright, even though I felt nothing and was extremely cognitively broken. I’ve been shunned by the rest of my family and friends. No real job prospects, and a very lonely sickly existence I lead. I am trying to move forward, but there are no simple solutions. I am completely destroyed. Emotionally battered, but seemingly paralyzed from all the abuse, and trauma, I’ve undergone. Not everyone here has gone through something as dramatic, or while ill. Some guys on here are ‘silver spooners’ and come from a wealthy family, or others have loving and supportive familys. One suicide victim on here was a millionaire, from what I’ve learned. Simply put, there should be some fund/outlet set up by the lawyers, or the foundation, to help us guys find supportive housing, or for those in completely ravaged/unbearable situations. I suppose I am crying out for help?! Imagine learning of one of our members homeless? How would that make you feel, if you could do something about it or help? I suggest the PFS foundation set up a housing fund, to help guys(in completely destroyed/terrible situations) get back on their feet.
I’ve been through this charade you speak of. My mother died in an excruciatingly painful way. I pretended as hard as I could, and helped as much as I could, while she was bed ridden, unable to eat, with a tumor the size of a basketball.
Propecia robbed me of being ‘there’ during her last days on earth. I was also physically and emotionally abused by my father during this span of three years. I’m still stuck with an abusive father now. Hard to cope and plan an escape, while being so destroyed from all of this. I’m still trying to escape from a toxic situation, along with feeling toxic, heavy brain fog, and severe cognitive disability.
The PFS Foundation, and the lawyers, should step up, and help the less fortunate sufferers out. Fund housing to heal! Imagine PFS housing (set up by the foundation/lawyers) somewhere, for those with completely wrecked lives like mine? This would be great help for many! A place to heal and get ourselves back on our feet!
This Frazier guy sounds a bastard, but mainly for his conduct over the Vioxx scandal. As far as I am aware he inherited the Propecia problem rather than caused it. It would be pretty groundbreaking for a CEO to cease selling a profitable product on ethical grounds. The real villains of the piece are the guys who went about getting this onto the market in the first place for young men; deceivers like Keith Kaufman.
