I will say that it’s a good breakfast. You can take that as a solid recommendation.

Yes indeed. Could well have been coincidence, but for me it was definitely around that time. Really odd that I couldn’t tolerate it before. Could also have been the sulforaphane (which I definitely don’t recommend anyone touch.)
It has continued to get worse. Squeezing it I feel nothing now. I’m losing my mind.
Is there any chance I regain feeling? I’m paniced I feel nothing. I feel my life is ruined I’m fucking 26.
In short, yes. There is a chance it’ll all get back to how it was in “PFS normal” as it did for me. I’ve been in that very panic. It’s not pretty (and I’m the biggest, most defeatist panic-merchant out there) but hang in there. Mine got better and back to baseline.
Took me days and days though. It really sucks, don’t envy you.
Hey Jin, and you had the numbness/sexual side effects that got a little better?
Or just the suicidal thoughts?
Hey man it sad that you crashed again after a steady recovery. It is up and down. I have been crashed for the second and third time too after a year with marijuana and coffee.
Just hold on to your life my friend, you will get back on track to recovery. Just take a step back from any drugs and medicine. Let your body adjust itself. Just take a bullets at a time. We all had been there.
Now you probably have learn from your mistake.
Just hold on, I know how stress it feel to crash again.
Evening buddy - yes, just to be proper plain about it, I got EXTREME suicidal thoughts, but I’m not disclosing how bad or extreme. At this point I’d well imagine you are right there yourself and not sleeping and just in dread-panic, but it will gradually let up. In fact it was so bad I didn’t care one bit about the sexual stuff, but that came back to “PFS-normal” after a few days. Maybe a week. But LOTS of ups and downs, hard-flaccid etc, you know the score.
I am also still producing no semen, it’s so weird. Do you think that will turn back to normal in a couple weeks? Last crash it took I think 2-3 weeks for that to return.
I went to my Derm to report this and he basically dismissed all of it and wondering if the generic finasteride was “tainted”. So fucking idiotic it pissed me off.

I’d be optimistic that if it recovered before that you will get back again.
One year ago I had numbness and almost no ejaculate, and what there was was watery or clumpy. My sensitivity has recovered as has semen volume and thickness. You can recover, so don’t twist your mind in knots convincing yourself you can’t. I can’t remember the exact time scale of improvement in these areas. However I would say that for a few months I was habitually trying to masturbate multiple times a day, trying to see if I had got better since the last time, and every time when I hadn’t I was freaking out. You are not going to get better in a day or a week, so if you persistently focus on the lack of improvement you see, you can only make yourself feel worse. There are plenty of people who have recovered sensitivity and semen quantity, so don’t convince yourself otherwise. If you are producing no semen, stop ejaculating for a week or so and then see. I remember one of the biggest moments of relief for me was when I finally managed to force myself to abstain for 2 weeks and then found it much easier to get hard and ejaculated the same sort of quantity I used to produce daily. It told me that my symptoms reflected a slowing down rather than a total stop to those functions.
Yeah, it was tainted with finasteride - the worst poison in the word.

Anyone with numbness notice super dry skin on the penis. It looks and feels totally different. I don’t see how this will reverse but it seems some guys have had recovery so I will hold out hope. For now, I am not messing with my body with supplements. My recovery is give my body 4-6 months and then maybe try recoveries guys have tried here.

I’m the same I wouldn’t touch supplements. They’ve brought nothing but further deteriation and crashes. Out of desperation Ive revisited supps trying others they are like fools gold. For those that it’s helped is great but for me personally it’s a no no. I would recommend fasting though as this certainly does help and you can be re assured your not putting anything into your body that can further upset our delicate hormonal imbalances
For information, Licorice root, recovered someone from PFS so I don’t consider it’s bad just because you see an Androgen decrease or something like that written somewhere.
I have taken it as well, things get bad after 2 days, and if you stop you get better again.
I think we should clean up as much as possible our gut before taking it. and we should not taking it too much at a time bu only by cycle.
I think the big deal with it its that it’s increasing your tension so you will feel bad if taking too much of it.

People are crashing from this shit for a reason.

Could you link to whoever recovered? Be interested to read.
Hey guys,
Checking in.
Positives: I now produce a normal amount of semen when I cum, and the numbness has gotten better. It doesn’t feel the same as before, but sexually I function normally and my semen is normal now which is great news. This all started getting better when I stopped rogaine. My sexual side effects are now tolerable and I don’t worry about them.
Negatives: Mentally this drugs seems to have destroyed me. I have insane crashes of fatigue, mood swings and anxiety I never had in the past. Suicidal thoughts etc. It’s horrible.
Random: Recently I’ve look at pictures and I feel I look different. I look like I’ve aged 10 years in a year. My skin is different and my chin seems smaller. I then looked online to see some people with pfs report facial changes. This I am not sure whether this is in my head, or I just look different because my hairline receded. I look sick. Pale and my
Face has lost fat.

Following up. I might look different because I’ve lost so much weight in this stressful time. I don’t want to get too in my head and jump to paranoid conclusions here. To be positive, I swing from moods of feeling normal and moods of extreme fatigue and suicidal thoughts so life I still great sometimes. Each has lasted 2 weeks and seem to cycle.
I hope this is positive to men who have experienced penile numbness and sexual issues. I thought for months it would never get better. 4 months no improvement and once I stopped minoxidil it got better. I would pinch the skin every morning and feel nothing. It felt like anesthesia. I now have morning wood as well. My hair went through a horrible shed, but I don’t give a fuck anymore.
Good luck guys. Always hold on to hope.
