I just want to check with everyone. If you have PFS, do you get better with time? Or do you worsen with time?
For example, what the hope of making a natural recovery in a few years?
Please respond, your input is important.
Good thread for everyone to say what there situation is. I am only worsening with time, although i have had brief periods of recovery. Nobody can really say what the chances are for a real recovery because each person is different. Personally, i do not hold much hope of ‘natural recovery’ at all, as much as i hate to say it.
in which ways are you worsening? how bad were your sides and how have they changed over time?
body reactions r different
maybe i guess that sides worsening in the first year but after tend to improve or at least stabilize
Fluctuations are a part of my daily life now, but I’m waaaaaay better now than in the months immediately after stopping fin. Those days were horrible, as I was experiencing the full side effect profile. The mental fog has cleared alot and penis size has recovered somewhat.
how bad was ur beginning situation?
it recovered step by step or suddendly?
it was VERY bad in the beginning…scary bad. Thin, hour glass, shrivelled, embarrassingly small, like a chess bishop (lol).
i noticed the improvement rather suddenly. i know i was on mag at the time and had some large bowel movements.
i been off fin for 1.5 years. For me is been a slow but progressive worsen of effects. Nothing seems to hault it for me. The worst side effect is this numbess i have in my penis and surrounding area. It has a huge phycologial effect on me. Libido or interest in woman have improved, but now im so numbess that sex is impossible. If i take calis i get hard and can please a girl, but i feel nothing. I dont even know if im still hard or not. Its very sad.
I belive sensativty does improve for some over time, and others claim a fully restoration of sensativity. For me its been a waste of 1.5 years of my life with no sight of any improvments or any glimmer of hope
1.5 years for me too. Flaccid numbness is also one of my biggest complaints as well as; shrinkage, anxiety, disturbed sleep, lack of brain to penis connection. There is stuff i would rather not even think about too. My joints are always popping, i get periodic pains in my perineum and prostate, sometimes it feels as though my pelvis is just stuffed up or as if someone had put something up my ass, i am beginning to look quite ill, 0 morning erections. I focus on the main side effects of low libido and erectile dysfunction but in truth i suffer with far more.
This condition has changed my whole body system. I don’t shit the same, my skin isn’t the same, my complexion isn’t the same, i don’t fart the same - i could go on. Everything is just… OFF in some way or another.
It is all very troubling but i have seen my body miraculously recover for up to 10 days so i need to keep the faith.
It’s no surprise considering that many of us have low body temperatures. Our overall metabolism is bound to be affected.
An aspect of my erections has improved. For a very long time, the big dorsal vein on the bottom side was barely filling with blood. When i get a good erection now, this vein fills properly and my penis reaches it’s normal erect size. When i get an erection from stimulation, they can be rock hard at times.
Hi UK20, I thought you said you were worsening, but now you say your erections are improving? I’m a little confused.
Yes? read what i said and you will see that i mentioned the dorsal vein fills with blood as it should now and WHEN i get a full erection they can be rock hard. What is confusing about that? they are not great improvements. Key word WHEN and key aspect of the other point is it’s just the dorsal vein (i think) the one at the bottom of the penis.
So, my numb, dead dick - when erect, which is only when i lay there and manually stimulate it fills with blood properly now and can often be quite solid upon ejaculation. That doesn’t mean i am functioning properly sexually. Most people on this website CAN get an erection.
