Immune or at risk against Coronavirus?

General Discussion
#8

I closed a topic about this earlier because I felt the topic would raise people’s anxiety.

As the issue isn’t going away, I think it’s worth revisiting the subject to say that it’s well documented that people who have our condition often feel better after or even during an illness, including myself.

We don’t know what the reason for this is, but as @bunny88 says, it’s more likely that our bodies aren’t reacting in the same way as before, rather than there being some kind of super hero response to illness where we have attained some sort of immunity.

At this point, I am of the opinion that everyone here should be mindful of the official advice from your health authority regarding the Corona Virus and that while we have no indication that pfs patients should consider themselves at greater risk, being vigilant and careful is in your best interest.

Can you explain your recovery? What symptoms reversed? Was it like pre-pfs? Did you regain your penis size back? Thanks.

Just a thought…does anyone have evidence that we have heightened immunity? Also, children at this time are not currently getting sick as middle aged and elderly populace from Coronavirus which is strange because kids typically have a weaker immune system. Not exactly sure that if we have a heightened immune system, we will be lucky…reference regarding children and Coronavirus below in link.

I don’t really care about another disease after PAS. :joy: Corona is just a whistle in cemetery. Let it come.

I also cannot remember the last time I caught a cold. What if PFS has made us immune to all disease with the exception of ED, depression and will extend our lives to 150?

Could you fill out the survey so we might be able to attract scientific assistance to help us get back to the good old days of getting occasionally unwell, please.

literally complete reversal of my symptoms it’s just crazy you realise how different it is when it all comes back, and yes I now have a sore and flemy throat now. God I hope it sticks

#15

My penis physical sides aren’t my most serious, mostly just shrivelled weird looking flaccid penis which I think is due to lack of blood flow. Completely normal right now.

Jesus man. So you recovered because of some flu? How long you have been suffering? Are you sure it is 100% all back? How it feels to orgasm? How is your erection size and semen volume? Im happy for you brother. Even its temporary.

Around 5 months, not sure if flu but seems like a cold of some description. Yes all normal can get an erection when ever I want, can fall asleep actually feel sleepy at night, wake up sleepy feeling like I’ve been asleep (as opposed to feeling like I’ve just had a coffee). This is the third time it’s happened, it’s not a coincidence I feel back to normal the day before the cold symptoms actually manifest. Just so bizarre.

I don’t think I’ve had any changes in erection size when I eventually manage to get a full one (very hard in pfs state). Semen volume is less watery and ejaculation size is more normal not sure if 100%. Orgasm feeling is 100% improved. I suspect things like semen parameters would take a decent stint of recovery to normalise, ie need to be recovered for over a week.

Also please don’t go get sick because of my experience. Improvements following sickness is not consistent based on what I’ve read.

IL-6 was statistically significantly associated with death

On what level does that relate to us?

Hopefully someone smarter can separate the wheat from the chaff here.

What I’m seeing is if post finasteride use elevates interleukin 6 in our bodies as an animal study has shown that to be the case at least in the kidney, then that’s not good news for us.

Actemra (tocilizumab) – an interleukin-6 inhibitor – can be used to treat patients infected with the new coronavirus:

However neutrophilia is also associated with death from covid-19 according to this study. Luckily for us, post finasteride use is associated with decreased neutrophil infiltration of the lungs.

I am home sick with something. I don’t know what it is because a senior government executive really fucked up the testing and I can’t get tested. But I can at least say with PFS I am not immune to whatever it is that I have. What I have is mild and not serious, at least for now. The vast majority of people on here are people in their 20s and 30s who have really high recovery rates well north of 99%.

Here is my survival advice. Do your best to not get the virus. If you get it, there is an overwhelming chance it will be fine for you, but not a guarantee. It is very important to pull yourself out of society until you recover to protect the more vulnerable members of our society. Get a few masks to wear if you get sick and absolutely have to leave. Stock up on a couple weeks of food before you get isolated because you might get stuck. Online grocery deliveries are very delayed and next day deliveries may now take 5 days. If you are in a jam, Seamless is still working for now. That’s basically what you need to know about this. Self isolation is boring so plan some things to do if you get stuck.

Are your PFS symptoms any different?

LOL, no, unfortunately not because I’m very bored here

just to inform people. Coronavirus isn’t something new this virus existed for very long time. in life everyone had corona virus at least once in there life. The average flue that we got in our life was likely coronavirus.

This one is different little bit. it has no vaccine and for that reason that is why it is 10 times dangers as average flue.

keep in mind it is dangers not because it is deadlier, it is deadlier because we don’t have vaccine for it and people with asthma and underline conditions. alarm is because it is a new virus and it is highly cottages. Risks to people are is about same if you think about it.
This is my belief and what I have read and seen.
Keep in mind 81% of the people have very mild symptoms when they get new coronavirus only 19% are the once that you see on the news.
I work with lot of professors and doctors and everyone tells me that is just panic and hysteria.

wash your hands, don’t touch your face and you will be fine.

don’t worry to much people. we survived PFS Shit will be okay.

SARS caused testicular damage. SARS 2 may very well do the same.
The UK is using eugenics to deal with this global pandemic. Shit is beyond fucked.
