Yeah, I only ever began running into libido/ED problems six months into using fin, so obviously DHT had very little to do with it up until that point at least.
Only connection between DHT and sleep I was thinking of is that, as Mew has mentioned, DHT mediates Nitric Oxide, which apparently plays a role in sleep. So the fact that we aren’t sleeping indicates an NO problem, with in turn indicates a DHT problem. And the problem is not that there isn’t enough DHT, because many guys here have high DHT. It is something to do with the way in which we are responding to DHT now.
If it is an insensitivity problem, it seems to me there is not much that can be done to help us.
I’m temped to try to pursue sensitivity testing: a penile skin fibroblast maybe. But even if it does show impaired androgen binding, what can anyone do about it?
Mew, the fact that you have seen small improvements in some areas gives a glimmer of hope. You have a little more energy, a little more skin oil, you’re sleeping better, etc. Perhaps sensitivity is returning very slowly, and libido will be one of the last things to come around.
Some guys seem to come around after a number of years, and that’s something.
Did u SCARED go to the UK endo?did you ask him about dht insensitivity?
