Fellas,
Hope you all are hanging in there and that many of you are recovering. I wanted to let you all know that I saw Dr Crisler in Michigan and sent him a 24 hour urine screen and a full blood screen. Apparently my DHEA is the biggest point of concern. You can have a reading of 0 - 1500 DHEA and mine doesnt even break 100. He said for a 27 year old male, my DHEA is INSANELY LOW. My vitamin D is also horribly and unnaturally low.
As of right now, him and I are focusing only on the DHEA and vitamin D and not even bothering to look at other things. He has sent me a very potent trans-dermal DHEA cream (he said the DHEA pills you swallow do absolutely nothing) that I am to rub on my arm twice a day. I’m also taking 5000 units of vitamin D once a day. I am supposed to report back to him in 4 weeks with a new 24 hour urine screen to see what changes in my body this treatment plan has made. He is very confident I will recover from the horrible things finasteride has done to me. I wanted to keep you all posted on my treatment so that i may provide hope to many of you who doubt you will ever get better.
Tomorrow will be my first day on the DHEA cream. I am praying for it to begin bringing my body back to what it used to be. Stay strong.
