Do you get sick...compared to before ??

Despite being top shape, I used to get sick a few times a year. Sick enough to make me miss school/work for a day or two.

Post Finasteride, despite always feeling run down and fatigued, I cannot remember a single time in 7 years that I have been sick enough to have to miss school/work.

Anyone else experience the same??

This has puzzled me too. I used to have moderate colds at least a few times a year. Now I’m never really “normal” ill. I think it’s a clue that the immune system is involved in creating the PFS state.

I have not gotten the flu or any like illnesses like that since I took propecia the first time 6 years ago. I have gotten colds thou rarely.

Me too… Even my sister pointed that out another day. In six years, not even a flu. I used to have rhinites before, and don’t have it anymore. I read somewhere that when the total testosterone goes down, this affects the immune system, so it becomes more active. Maybe that could explain it?

Very very rarely

Haven’t been sick enough to miss work in nearly 2 years

Well I was depressed enough to miss work, several times.

I feel like I rarely ever get sick anymore.

I’ve had food poisoning a few times, but not just like a regular cold or fever.

The first year after I quit I got sick a few times from cold/flu symptoms. But in the last two years, almost nothing at all

same here. havent been sick since quitting finasteride in august 2011. Normally i used to be sick 2-3 times a year due to colds/etc.

Maybe the only positive thing about all this stuff…

After doing really well for months, I got a cold last week which, even after recovering has left me pretty depressed and foggy…anyone else experience this?
