It says a lot, it could indicate a negative feedback loop, and more. It indicates, as OTHERS, have spoken about that they feel better and worse in cycles. Cycles are important, they can indicate potential hormones that are involved. Every real symptom or key is another piece of the puzzle. I am actually shocked that you wouldn’t think that’s important.
You can test for hormones. If someone had any evidence of this occurring it might mean something. But we have nothing. Also you are focusing on the sexual side effects, they are intrinsically linked with the mental side effects, clearly the entire androgen metabolic pathways have been altered in an extreme way. Until there is some proof in the form of hormonal/nuerosteroids changes going in cyclical periods this is all just speculation. It matters even less now that we have actual scientists looking at our genetic makeup and trying to identify the fundamental reasons that PFS occurs in a subset of men.
So now no discussion of theories or symptoms. Ohhhhh your a blood test guy, since our hormones are normal etc. Well then I don’t believe in PFS because no test as confirmed it, it doesn’t exist
Honestly I don’t give a shit what you say. I’d I listened to jackasses like you I would never believe i would improve so much, that sex Would be enjoyable again, that my memory would improve, that I would enjoy life.
If someone wants to share that he is experiencing periods of hightened sexuality,then let him
Discussion of theories is pointless if you can’t test or confirm those theories. If you look back through what has already been researched and proposed by others on here, including Awor, you will find we have already far more understanding of the condition than simply comparing feelings of high vs low libido.
I am never said anything about not being able to improve, my mental side effects have improved; they had to or else I wouldn’t be alive right now.
I do not care what you think either, as I have done more for you and all PFS victims than you ever will sitting on here talking about your libido and tossing around non-sense theories without any solid research or comprehension of biochemical processes. How many articles have you gone public in discussing your side effects and the dangers of finasteride used your real name? Let me assume zero. OK, so how many actual studies have you contributed to? But its easier for you to be like all the other spineless people who’d rather talk about their dick anonymously on an internet forum which requires no risk or real effort, when we have other guys putting their whole lives and bodies literally under the microscope for all our benefit and just hoping for the best for all of us.
Fina, Do you think that maybe there is a difference between the guys that took this shit for years and were okay like you… And the other guys that took it for a few days and got totally fucked over. BP has done a ton of shit to get better. It just didn’t help. Why/How does that make him a looser. Now he would like to have some scientific answers if possible. How is that unreasonable? Where is the compassion for those that should be able to relate to each others fucked up condition? That’s what I don’t understand. The mentality that we can solve this on our own hasn’t produced good results.
And yes PRE crash sex was good and normal… About the second week on the drug I felt really good in every way. Probably the brief T increase. It didn’t last very long. Everything in life POST crash has been muted. I think I am past the worst part of this (I hope). POST crash I went through an obsessive period not a hypersexuality period. More like a what the fuck is happening to me… Let me see if I can get things to work again type of obsession.
The crash I experienced… If people didn’t get better from that state of existence the suicide rate would be 100%. So sure people do get better but I still have tons of issues from a pill I took for a few days. And no for me its not on any cycle at all.
Wait, so OP, you are taking T4 right? I remember your thread on it. So now, you are cured it sounds like? I remember you said you can’t get off the T4 or you will start feeling too emotional? So that is another win for T4? Someone else should try it. It sounds like you are cured now? What is the problem exactly?
well now its back to 0… 
in the first time i took fin after 2 weeks when i recovered i also became hypersexual for like a month .
i have doubled my thyroid dosage, and i am erected for last 4 hours and 6 ejaculation lots of semen with pressurized loads. that was awesome now i am taking 75mcg t4. my penis hurts. omg guys thats fucking cure i think, i dont believe labs because my dht is low low low : D
i hope this is my last post to this forum
sanane,
is there anything else you are taking besides t4 ( for instance t3)? any vitamin, mineral, med etc? or just t4
also, if you could write, what is your diet like, ie normal/paleo/no sugar? and are you doing any sports/fitness/physical activity?
ty
I had some serious erotic dreams the night I crashed. It was really crazy, like some kind of orgy going on. After that, pretty much no libido.
What brand and where did you get your Thyroid meds Sasane, thanks man.
T4 -levothyroxine, from merck, i am hypo after pfs, prescribed
Thank you Sasane. My girlfriend has thyroid issue and she’s paranoid, coincidently she has about a 2 year supply of Levothyroxine 100mcg in the freezer. I halved one pill yesterday (50mcg) took it for the first time. About 3 hours after taking it, I noticed my body temp rose from 96.8 to 98.7, felt pretty good overall. I took the same 50mcg today, i just found it coincidental that my gal had this T4 in the freezer. I’ll keep this going for a month and report the progress.
Hope all is well and getting better Gents. Anyway just wanted to report that my temperature has been consistently higher, tends to be in the lower 98F range. My temp is usually around 96.8F-97.6F, after one week is it possible for it to rise that much? Last week I started getting weak morning erections, 4 in 7 days. I’ve still been eating sh!t and I haven’t stuck to any workout routine. I’m in Tax Accounting and Real Estate, I work a lot, plus I travel, no excuse I know; without our health we have nothing. I’ve been more touchy-feely with my gal too, since this all started I’ve stopped initiating sex completely due to insecurity; I only make attempts when my girlfriend provokes me these days.
Currently: I’m taking 50mcg on an empty stomach in the morning, every day.
Anyway guys, see you next week.
How you feeling Sasane?
Perfectgent- do you feel increasing your thyroid functioning , ie raise body temp is defintely helping?
I didn’t realize my body temp. was as low as it was until I took my temp. about a year ago. I was so scared I jumped on this forum to let everyone know, unbeknownst to me low body temp is a common side effect of Fin as I found out after using the “search” box on this forum. It’s 1:15pm, Los Angeles time, just took my temp, its at…98.2. Before taking the thyroid my tempt was consistently in the mid 97 range always with severe cold spells.
I will say I feel better overall, but it hasn’t even been a month yet, so who knows. I notice a little more activity in the trousers, but nothing like Sasane speaks of, at least not yet. I know its shallow, but I’m really looking for that sexual healing; I have a gorgeous girlfriend and for the last 2 years its been hell trying to have sex. I’ll keep you guys posted.
About a year ago I went to a doctor to check my thyroid. I was so confident that I had a thyroid issue, as I had/have all the symptoms: low body temperature, very sensitive to the cold, numbness in my hands and feet, and fatigue. However after getting tested my blood work came back completely normal.
Would it be a terrible idea to try levothyroxine anyway? Is it possible to have a thyroid problem without the bloodwork detecting it?
