Is there anybody on here who live a happy life despite dealing with this?
Also is there anybody on here that meditate daily?
PM me also if you don’t want to post please.
Thanks
I think what your talking about is emotional flatness… The kind one gets when on an SSRI. I never really took an SSRI so I cant say first hand but people have described it to me. The zombie feelings they got from them. PFS has impacted me in that area to a large degree. It has a large impact on my happiness. I know how I should feel in certain situations but its gone. Not just sexual stuff. I think this is one of the more devastating effects. Its something that cant even be described to someone that doesn’t have it. Like part of your humanity has been sucked right out of your sole.
Well said bro.
That’s what I figured. I couldn’t even tell unless I’ve experienced but I can only imagine it’s devastating. I have all emotions still. But being sexually dysfunctional makes me feel inadequate although that’s bullshit. We are all worth more than anytHing. I know alot of people have it worse than me.
If i were you i would be in same state, nobody deserve this shit.
Agreed. My pet of 20 years died. I wanted to feel sad or cry and I couldn’t. I used to be able to get myself into happier moods with music. I used to work in the record industry. The switch in my brain for music, even things i’ve loved my entire life is gone. It all sounds like blah blah blah now. I’d be too wary of even admitting such stuff to anyone I know.
I hate to hijack a thread, but this was one of the most important issues for me, since I got on Andractim (DHT supplementation) with testosterone propionate (10mg a day), I have this back. In my view, if you have this, you have NOTHING to lose, what can be worse? You have no reason not to try it, and Dr Goldstein prescribes it with some success. I feel that I got to where I am by not fearing, and a lot of guys here are held behind by fear, but my view is, what are you afraid of? I think it is a neurosteroidal imbalance of low DHT and high estradiol. If you inject test and use Andractim, your body sorts it out. DHEA helps mood a lot, if you are afraid to take something, you can try 50mg of DHEA a day, but I do all this stuff while on testosterone. PFS screws you over, even if you have good test levels, you don’t have enough 5AR to reduce it to DHT, so much of it gets aromatized. So if you have good test, you really still have bad test, that is why supplementation is so important. We suffer from a DHT deficiency on a neurosteroidal level, DHT is very important for mood, so is DHEA.
what works for you may be will not work for everybody. think about that.
" In my view, if you have this, you have NOTHING to lose, what can be worse?"
loose the balls is worse. you did not mention HCG medication to keep the balls.
I would gladly castrate myself to get rid of pfs, live on hormones as I already am doing for the rest of my life. Thankfully I finally found a working protocol, doesn’t sound like you have pfs man. You respond normally to testosterone? HCG in a guy with pfs would cause massive estrogen surges and make him crash. You said you took test and built muscle, guys with pfs cannot respond to testosterone normally, it takes a very special protocol.
I took testosterone 10 years ago, before finasteride.
I never took testosterone after finasteride, only DHT andractim.
we owe it to ourselves to try HRT with, specifically with DHT cream, testosterone propionate, maybe HCG, clomid and torem…if you have already tried this then well honestly there is nothing left to do…
I am emotionally blunt all the time, and this HRT is the last thing left to try…i refuse to live like this another year of my life like a zombiw walking around, If I dont respond on HRT in 6 months im taking my savings and going on a massive party, columbia, thailand etc…will live it up before I do myself in…
noone deserves to live like this…not even a rapist or murderer I would wish this on.
