Loss of IQ points due to post finasteride syndrome

What do you fellas think about this?
Since my son was hit by PFS his cognitive self has been declining, at least that’s what he has told me and what I’ve seen from him in this past 2 months.

Is it possible to regain the fluid IQ that he had or is he destined to live in this carrusell that might worsen his inelect more and more?

I’ve experienced it for 2 years now… I do hope there is a way to get restored to normal…

I don’t think I’ve lost ability to reason, but I do have less concentration power and awareness which leads to feeling like I lost IQ.

I do think its restorable because people try different homebrew methods and get their cognitives back if they are lucky.

Ive also experienced restoration very temporarily a couple of years ago, but I didnt know how that happened. I also didn’t know I had PFS back then, so I can’t really tell you much.

But based on all that, I think there is a mechanism for it to come back, we just have to be patient.

I tend to agree, on the physical and mental aspects. Even a temporary recovery, to me, says that the physical “stuff” to make us work properly is still there, we (or someone) just have to figure out how to fix whatever is making things not work right

yeah I feel a lot more stupid since getting PFS

Same man, same.
I remember a few months ago logging into omegle and having conversations with strangers.
The conversations were so filled with meaningfull content. I got once or twice that they had never had a conversation with someone like me before.

I miss those times.
