Hello and thanks for filling out a member story. If you could provide an approximate age and dates for when you started and quit finasteride, that would be great.

Have you improved somewhat since the worst of your side effects began?

I also took it for 10 days!

What’s your story @air? Can you tell us a bit more about your disease progression?
