No issues for me during my procedure. I did however wake up mid procedure but it in a “Saw movie like” daze. No pain, no nothing. Just suddenly awake for a brief minute.
Good to hear mate. Bet it was a strange experience though lmao.

Sure was man. Everything was in blobs and oddly out of place. One of the strangest experiences in my life but wasn’t scary at all.

I got generalized weakness almost instantly (within a few days), by 6 months, I had lost 10-15 lbs of muscle, and it continued for over a year and a half with skin changes, body hair changes, derealization, etc. 3 years after taking Finasteride and I can’t build muscle or lose fat. Body doesn’t respond to exercise. You got lucky.

Same symptoms mean, my muscles feel like they’re turning to mush, also joint issues. This is absolutely insane, I got it after one .25 dose.
Man*
Can definitely relate here. Twitching was non-stop at start. Now comes and goes, but when it’s there, it’s scary. You can see the muscles twitching in a mirror.
Yeah it comes and goes now it’s not constant, but no one fucking believes me when I went to the rheumatologist obviously it wasn’t acting up then and she was like “I don’t see/feel anything and you’re bloodtests don’t show anything you’re fine”.

Ditto. I know your pain all too well. I swear it’s like taking the car in. It was making this clunking noise earlier. Only difference was it was my first Neuromuscular doctor, seeing a Rheumatologist next.
How is your breathing problem? Is it getting better or worse? Can you describe it?Thank u！
I can relate to the loss of muscle. It’s scary the muscle throbs, shrivels and disappears. He doesn’t stop
I’m sorry if it doesn’t come across well because I translated it using AI.
I get asked questions from time to time, and I apologize for the delay in responding.
As long as I’m not writing here, you can think that my physical condition is still bad and hasn’t changed. Unfortunately it won’t improve.
This time, the situation got even worse, so I came here to write.
The skin of my penis has started to change. And my penis is getting smaller.
I’ve been on PFS for almost 10 years now, and it still seems like it’s going to get worse.
Sorry for all the negative posts.

I’m sorry, I was wondering if your muscles are stable? I don’t care about my genitals anymore, my muscles are atrophied because I’m afraid I’ll be paralyzed in bed like ALS，Thank you for your reply
Muscle symptoms are not stable.
It’s gradually getting worse.
This time, the penis deteriorated rapidly, so I wrote it.
I’ve said it many times, but please think that the symptoms are always progressing even during the period when you haven’t written it

I have found magnesium citrate very effective in resolving muscle twitches / fasciculation.
If I don’t take it regularly over the course of the day, the twitches return quickly.
Dose I take is 440mg in morning, 220mg mid day, 440mg at night before sleep. Often more if needed.
Caffeiene, sweating, alcohol, stress - these cause you to excrete magnesium faster. So you will need more depending on circumstances.
Very easy to try - see if it helps.

Pete, also develop post-finasteride fasciculations?
How long have you had pfs and fasciculations?
Have you developed any discomfort or pain?
Does magnesium give you diarrhea? It’s a common side effect.
Yes, I have muscle twitches / fasciculations randomly throughout body. These are resolved when I take magnesium citrate. (For some reason, other forms of magnesium are not effective. I don’t know why. I have tried them all.)
I have Post-Accutane Syndrome. I have had it for 18 years.
I guess you are referring to joint pain? I don’t have any joint pain that I can attribute to Post-Accutane syndrome.
I don’t get diarrhoea from the doses I take. If I take too much, yes.
