After 6 years, are you better? Whats left that you suffer from, if anything?
Thanks krieg17,
How long after you started getting floaters before you noticed they were gone? I too have all the sides but my junk works fine.

They didnāt last that long for meā¦shit really scared me though as I really hadnāt discovered I had PFS yetā¦I mean i had suspicions and was plenty fukked upā¦but for all i knew i had brain cancer. I think 3-6 months tops. Maybe even less. Iāve had everything known to man so itās hard to keep track of how long each thing lasted.
Yeah, my junk has always workedā¦but libido is terrible and sometimes my shit is rubbery and lifelessā¦but i could still get it to work. Iād trade all my side effects for total ED in a second.
Hi krieg17, how are you doing? In a post you said you have had every symptom know to man with the exception of erectile dysfunction. I am the same. You mentioned it made you feel like you had MS or brain cancer. Below is my current status. Can you please reply with how you are doing and if any of my sides are same/similar to yours? Thank you so much.
My biggest scare is Propecia has given me Parkinsonās disease. I have NOT been diagnosed but do plan on seeing a neurologist. I quit 8 months ago. The twitching in my hands and forearms was really bad and yes was worse as I slept. The type of twitching I had was my hands would suddenly shake for a moment as I slept and my shoulder, lower back, or leg would jolt. Those decreased a lot over time and the shaking hands during sleep is totally gone. Now I am suddenly getting muscle twitches all over my body day and night, and once in a while I get that āpill rolling twitchā that is known as an early sign of Parkinsonās disease and it really scares me. Itās not constant and only happens for a min or two every couple of weeks. My hands and feet hurt like they have arthritis. My forehead gets greasy from time to time as well. I am terrified. My forearms, wrists, and hands always feel weak. So weak that one time my right hand started shaking just holding a beer. Another time my right hand started shaking while I had it leaning against a laptop, below the keyboard.
Other than that I can deal with the rest, my penis functions just fine. In the beginning I had reduced semen but that appears to be better now, even though my wife has had 2 miscarriages since I quit. I did get eye floaters, that really sucks but I can deal with it. Sometimes my eyes get stabbing pains.
The list of things that has happened to me over the last 8 months seems endless. In the beginning I had a very scary situation with my throat. It would start involuntarily swallowing in my sleep. In addition I would start taking a sudden involuntary deep breath during sleep. The swallowing thing went away and the sudden breaths got much less frequent and sever however once in a while as I sleep the involuntary breath will still happen on a lesser scale. At one point when I dried my left ankle after a shower the towel felt like it was ripping off my skin. At one point I had moments of sudden tingling running through my head, down my spine through my feet, itchy skin, I would get hot flashes down my right leg. Those all got better though. In the last 2 months I developed tinnitus (constant ringing in my left ear) but that now is starting to get less, it comes and goes. In the beginning I could not sleep, I would dream non stop and hear song lyrics playing over and over in my head. One time I woke up from a dream where my head felt like it was exploding. I would have light flashes in my closed eyes as I slept. Those have passed as well. However I still dream all night but I sleep well. I feel like it is much easier these days for my arms to āfall asleepā when I sleep. Iāll wake up and my hand will have partial pins and needles that go away if I reposition of shake it off. I can cause my biceps to twitch if I flex them really hard. After I flex, they will twitch for a couple of min. Another thing that comes and goes is Iāll feel like more should be coming out when I take a crap. I donāt feel constipated, but just feels like there should be more. I have high blood pressure and have gained 30-40 pounds cause I am too depressed to work out anymore. I try very hard to remain positive and every time I get a new side I stay positive that it will pass like most all of them have. I tell myself this is just another thing from PFS and I donāt have a deadly disease. Ultimately I am just terrified that I have early onset of Parkinsonās and thatās what terrifies the most. I keep telling myself in 5 years this will all be in the past.
Any response would be greatly appreciated, thank you so much.
My vision got blurred at the same time my ed started it must be around same year that I quit from finasiteride. Every two years I lost vision with extreme blur and distortions but I recovered in a week every time. Last time I got huge floaters I still have them in my left eye I also have low eye pressure on that eye. They told me that it is normal for myopia but my degree was like 3.5 so it should not give me this much of floaters and discomfort.
This may be happens because of methylated 5ar type3 in the eyes.
Ha. I know some freak out when they see the word Candida, it seems to be a trigger word. Im not going to go there, but I will go here,
Thereās Bacteria Living on Your Eyeball, And It Could Be More Important Than We Think
When these microbes are out of balance ā too many or too few of certain types ā eye diseases may emerge.
With a recent study showing bacteria live on the surface of the eye and stimulate protective immunity, scientists are beginning to discover the microbial factors that can be exploited to create innovative therapies for a range of eye disorders like Dry Eye Disease, Sjogrenās Syndrome and corneal scarring.
One day it may be possible to engineer bacteria to treat eye diseases in humans.
In this developing field, there is still much to learn before physicians can begin manipulating the ocular microbiome to fight disease. But one day perhaps rather than just squirting eye drops into your dry eyes, youāll squirt in a solution with some bacteria that will colonize your eye and secrete the lubricants and other factors your body is missing. Stay tuned.
LOL. Well, there was a time long ago that the C-word was censored here because it was being used as a catch-all root-cause explanation for [insert almost any health condition here] and that trend made its way onto here.

I dont know if having eye floaters in your teen years is that normal, especially if they are the permanent kind.
Maybe there could have been some subtle clues in some before drug exposure as to why a person might be more susceptible to PFS.
I know this person has been gone btw.
