Howdy! I’m sharing an unusual email conversation between myself and an author who is publishing a book about PFS victims and their life stories.
She argued essentially that recovery is rare and dependent entirely on unique genetics. Therefore, victims should learn to endure PFS permanently the best they can, presumably after reading inspiring life stories of PFS victims who endured. (Not her exact words but that’s the gist.)
I argued that most PFS victims understandably cannot learn to endure traumatic/horrific PFS maladies. Most, like I previously did, will decide that being mostly miserable indefinitely without hope of recovery is unbearable! Instead they should focus on possible future recovery, however slim the odds.
Not to hype myself but I’m Exhibit A for my philosophy. I tried to kill myself via starvation after failing to procure a gun 2-3 times. That caused speech/motion/sleep dysfunction entirely independent of PFS! As I’ve detailed previously, I am very fortunate that ALL my PFS maladies - profound emotional shutdown, 100% loss of libido, 100% physical impotence, delusions, suicidal depression - 100% resolved after 2.5 years of endless misery.
Top PFS expert Dr. Michael Irwig in Feb. 2015 personally bluntly - and incorrectly - informed me that PFS recovery was impossible! That reinforced my suicide plans.
If someone like my future self had told me “PFS recovery is NOT impossible” I would have abandoned my ill-considered suicide plans.
Which philosophy is correct?
