We’re all pretty miserable on this site. And I’m pretty much suicidal every day, but it’d be nice to see where people have recovered to maybe bring some hope. I’ll start.
Insomnia is pretty much gone
When everything started (the CRASH) i had anxiety, panic attacks, insomnia, complete impotence, penile shrinkage…
Anxiety, panic attacks and insomnia lasts a bit more than a month…Then I basically had complete impotence. Now almost 5 months later, I have improvesd and sometimes I can have erections, sometimes I wake up with erections too…
But I have zero libido, my good feelings when I’m with a girl in bed or taking her clothes off or whatever are completely gone… No feel that excited anymore…
So yes I have improved a bit but still sometimes I cant’s sleep well, and still sometimes I get a bit of anxiety…And of course worst effects the sexual are pretty much present…
I hope improve more and more and one day get rid of all this and take back my life…Hope it is possible…
Good to hear you’re feeling better
I am approaching 2 years off of the drug and a few things have improved for me in this time.
When I came off the drug my t was borderline low in the mid 300s. A year later it was mid 400s which still isn’t great but its an improvement.
Libido has somewhat returned and went from 10% to probably 50%. I can also have sex without the use of ed meds relatively frequently, although it depends on the day. When I first came off of the drug I had weeks where an erection was not possible.
Muscle aches and pains and twitches are significantly reduced or eliminated completely.
Semen volume has improved somewhat, but is still not great and is probably 50% what it should be on good days. On bad days it can still be at 10%, however I used to have dry orgasms at times and this doesn’t happen anymore. It also gets better after a night of drinking for some reason.
Constipation is improved but my bowels are still unpredictable and kinda messed up.
Anxiety is almost completely gone and only rarely comes up once every few months if at all. Sleep is better and some nights I have dreams again although still not as much as normal.
Prostate and testicle pain is no longer an issue and when I first came off i would get pains on and off for a year or so.
Penis curvature is very mild and has not gotten worse or better. But isn’t an issue and I may have always had a slight curve. When fully erect the curve dissapears.
Depression is gone. And was gone after about 6 months off of the drug.
That is all I can think of at this moment. I am not cured yet but I no longer let pfs effect my life. Id say I’m about 50% back to normal from when I was at my worst which was probably about 3 months off of the drug.
My remedies are vitamins, dim on occasion, fish oil, occasional exercise, and most importantly time.
Best of luck to you all!
Braf
Great to hear!

PFS fucking blows and I havent improved at all. WTF. how am I supposed to deal with this??? so frustrating.
That sucks. Tried any treatments?
there are no treatments. nobody even knows what this is, how could there be one?
Idk man. If it’s that bad (like it is for me) I’d throw down everything and try everything.
