Just to give an update:
No changes, still the same.
I noticed that when i do some kind of exercise i feel better for the following 2-3 days. But it’s really hard to get it started, since i have major fatigue and joint pain (when i do exercises, i have to bear up the pain). That’s all.
So, this month i complete 5 years off.
I’m stable, still struggling with the persistent fatigue. Those studies are taking years… Are they finding something? Are they giving up?
Wow… Fatigue and joint pain are killing me…
Im redoing bloodtests, but they are coming normal once again.
No doctors can explain this. I went to all specialists, no one could find anything 
Feeling depressed and hopeless
Can you describe your fatigue? What time of the day? Is it with weakness in your body?
I am also suffering from fatigue but it’s not so bad anymore and i am making progress. At the moment i am doing T3, progesterone, canxida and paleo.
Hi Jorden.
Fatigue is present the whole day with a peak when i wake up and at about 4:00 pm until i go to bed. It’s very debilitating and it worsens my pain in the joints.
I tried paleo and sorghum, but i refuse to use hormones to treat this as i know that hormones are fucking me.
taking hormones to try and fix things can make your pfs much worse,same thing happened to me when trying progesterone cream,some sides got worse and I got some new ones aswell…
Try raw diet for a few months…it has enough proof in here that it cured emotional blunting and most of all…brainfog and fatigue…
Hi everyone,
nothing great to add to my story. In August, i completed 6 years without Propecia (24 years old now) and still struggling with fatigue and joint pain mainly.
Went to some doctors recently and one of them wants to try a treatment against hypothyroidism. As i have nothing to lose, i decided to give it a try for 3 months.
I returned to my workout routine this year and already put 9 kgs in muscles, which is great. My testosterone levels and other indicators, like SHBG are in best numbers than ever, but it doesn’t reflect on my libido, strenght and “masculinity” overall.
Are you still taking antidepressants? If so you should know that depression drugs can cause PFS too dude. They might be making your symptoms worse.
So you presently struggle with the following:
Is that accurate?
6 years after discontinuation?
Thanks.
I’m not taking antidepressants anymore. I’m “clean” for more than a year.
@pdvl, i’ll put in parentheses how i feel recovered compared to the first months of post-crash:
Update: i have come up with bad gut problems, beside the other problems.
I think i can’t digest food properly. Like everytime i eat, i feel my intestines moving and producing a lot of gases. Sometimes at night i feel pain in my stomach.
Today i am going to a general doctor (don’t know what it’s called in english) to restart all the investigation again.
I also feel that when i eat something more industrialized, i get worse. Also, my poop is coming disform and watery, unlike years ago when it came normal.
Do a stool test. High calprotectin? Dysbiosis in gut? Check for leaky gut and Morbus
Crohn. Best
So… doctors thinking this is autoimmune. I am afraid that it’s anything like spondylitis. Anyway, blood tests for it became negative, but it can be a false negative. Think he’ll ask an MR of my sacroiliac to confirm.
HI Brazil,
I have the same symptoms like yours. I feel fatique at the morning. The most problem is the joint pain on knees. I went to doctor and took X rays in May. The doctor told me that there was no obvious problem from the X ray photo on my right knee. However, I feel my legs are weak and pain even walk. Then the doctor advised me to inject Hyaluronic acid to my right knee. I felt better after the injection. However, I felt my left knee become more worst after these months. I am very worry whether the pain disappear or not…
Xrays dont show a lot. MRI! Calcification is possible.
Hi noprop, thanks for your response. I considered to take the MRI before…however…it really really costs me a lot…does anyone have the same symptom (joint pain) and took the MRI??? Thanks.
It is somehow incredible that this fucking poison is doing such an harm on people. Hua, I am fucking angry.
I suggest walking a bit every day. I wonder if the liquid there is functioning properly.
So… .turns out that its not autoimmune!
That’s good and at the same time, bad. Still feeling the same things (mainly persistent fatigue and joint pain). I also noticed that i have some problems in sex. I need to take some sort of viagra (i mean, the cheaper one) to perform ok in bed (not that i enjoy having sex like this).
Shit… going back to hormone doctors, but hopeless that someone can help.
7 years…
Hi Brazil,
What kind of joint pain did you suffered (from patella?) Did you take X Ray or MRI on the joints? If you have joint pain for 7 years, I do think that X Ray or MRI can check the status of your knees. Although X Ray cannot check too much, but narrow gap, spurs and bone erosion can be checked through X Ray. If you have enough budget, you may consider to conduct MRI for detail check. Please let us know the results. I am also suffering the joint pain for 1 year.
Thank you!
