BOSTON IS BACK BABY!!
Have you all heard about the Boston University study on persistent sexual side effects from finasteride?

It was plastered on the front cover of a Boston newspaper Wednesday. An article titled “Bald and Bonerless!!”

I saw it on the front cover of the Metro newspaper, which is a subsidiary of the Boston Globe. It was written because of, and refers to an alleged recent study done at Boston University Medical Center. I hope this was also in newspapers across the nation. If not, I assume it will be soon.

Btw, I guess Irwig is publishing another paper. He sent me an email request to fill out another questionnaire BEFORE FEBUARY 1ST.

Also, Dr. Jacobs, is now working on a report. His office just sent me a multi-page questionaire with which they would like me to participate.

Boston,

I frequent boston.com all the time. I couldn’t find it on their website, but i found this. The more studies, the better.

No, it was front page of the Metro, Wednesday, January 26th.

“Bald and Bonerless!” with a picture of a bald guy grabbing his nuts with a surprised look on his face!

I picked it up and read it while sitting at Starbucks on Newbury street. It made my heart sink for a bit, but it then gave me a longer calming, almost sigh of relief…

It has been a long lonely road, and to know there is a class action suit probably on the way, finally, probably a flood of public awareness coming, and now possible help on the horizon makes me happy.

I know sensitivity isn’t exactly the strong point of a tabloid newspaper but christ what a headline. Even though it’s a good thing that word is getting out I’ve yet to read an article that mentions the fact that people have committed suicide as a result of these side effects, or the fact that Merck has done everything in it’s power to keep it covered up. I read another article recently that seemed more concerned with how this news would effect Merck’s share price.

Great news to see more coverage… The last few months have seen a lot of progress. But I dislike the way the media treat the condition.
