*list your underlying health issues*

General Discussion
#1

please use this area to list underlying health issues you had before starting finasteride. perhaps we can find a common thread.

do not list NEW health issues caused by finasteride.

Thanks

#2

golf:

  • epilepsy
  • irritable bowel
  • frequent antibiotic usage
  • sever dandruff perhaps seborrheic dermatitis
#3

-frequent adhd drug usage

#4

Nothing

#5

I could swear you mentioned being diagnosed with depression and IBS from what i remember

#6

What? Pre fin, i dont think so.

#7

Nothing here.

#8
  • respiratory allergies and sore throat some times.
  • mild seborrhoeic dermatitis on scalp.
#9

I have never had a diagnosed illness. The only thing i really know about my health is that i was close to dying as a baby.

Golf, have you tried Xyrem for your epilepsy?

#10

None, and I think that’s the point.

The drug manufacturer would probably like to argue that we all suffer from underlying health issues as the source of our problems instead of Fin, however, as shown here:

Golf you should consider restructuring this thread using the POLL tool so people can vote, ie:

"Before Finasteride:

  • Yes, I had a prediagnosed health condition
  • No, I had no prior diagnosed health issues."
#11

Nothing here either.

#12

Nothing. A1 perfect health. Never a day off school, never a day off work.

(Edit: Dandruff - now cured by Propecia!)

    i dont know how - go for it.
#14

I have read through my medical records and finasteride(propecia) was the first prescription medicine i have ever had.

#15

Nothing apart from NSU (Simple Urinary Tract infection) years ago.

Before fin: Hypersexual
Post fin: Hyposexual

#16

Nothing.

#17

Most of us had no health issues and a lot of us were in fact athletic, athletes, and/or tending toward hypersexual. If there were underlying health issues that caused PFS they would have been found by now, just as if diet and exercise were cures we wouldn’t be here.

#18

I only had mild seb dermatitis on the face and scalp at some points in my late teens. Was given creams but it seemed to go away on its own.

Never on a run of prescription drugs in my life before fin. In some ways I wish I was as I would probably been wise enough to not self medicate without a doc’s supervision.

#19

Golf has not said that underlying health issues caused PFS so why are you going off on one of your pathetic rants?

I for one am very interested to see that users suffered serious health issues before PFS, i.e. epilepsy, CFS. Keep the replies coming.

#20

mew - you have mentioned in the past you had seb dermatitis as well. not “nothing”
luckfax - i highly doubt you NEVER took a prescription. never even had the flu?


again, our condition is the fault of finasteride. I am not trying to pass the blame onto us - however, we MUST have something in common that all those who recover do not - could be genetic, perhaps not. until we have more definitive genetic testing available, we can at least see if their is a common factor.
