My life ruined because of finasteride some restoration after 7 years.. greetings from your Lost Brother

This is comforting to hear. After many years of fighting to gain recognition for PFS, there are these small signs that the truth is gaining a foothold.

Well like i said at first i thought he was inexperienced and just dismissing me but insists on it. He spoke very confidently and said that 5ar blockade does this!! then i started to research and i convinced. I am glad that i went to research hospital.
And informed me the only solution is long term tadadafil 5mg usage. He was sure that this will help.

But tadalafil usage only masks the problem :frowning: not cures it. By the way, how is your symptoms now? Are you better?

Cooper bro, relax for some time, take some vacations sun in a nice beach in the Caribbean forget for awhile about PFS and you will be fine, trust me.

Guys I have to say that i am still improving on 10 mg methylfolate 1g niacin 2g epa fishoil 20mg methylphenidate.

After 5-6 years i got erections in daytime last two days without concentrating on anything.
I think this might be related with high dose floats NO boosting effect or it’s Triamine modulating effect on brain.

And now that you have crashed, do you still say the same…?

What are those subtances?

No. Read please, there is little ups and downs but i am going better gradually two explanations are seasonal related effects or my medication works… i suspect it is the effect of supra-physiological doses of methylfolate and niacin. I also can say that my genital sensibility increased extremely

I am getting better again after the crash, libido is no the same as before the crash, but will going there.

Fantastic work setting this up! I’ve completed my survey too.

Also thanks a lot for copying the answers I already filled in in february before the technical issues to the new survey! First I was surprised I hardly saw questions about sexual dysfunction but then I realised these were skipped because you already copied my old answers to these questions :grinning:

Modest suggestion for an application: The survey results are very usefull to determine which members look like eachother. (“Clustering” in data science language.) For example: I was a long term finasteride user (12 years), had gradual worsening (no “crash”) and have severe sexual issues (ed) but almost no libido/mental issues (fortunately). Most members are quite different and I would find it rather usefull if I could quickly identify similar members (using an automatically calculated “similarity score”) so I can focus on their posts.

In case you have time left and don’t know what to do with it… :wink:

Little update, i tried to stop methylphenidate and Reduced niacin , had a Huge crash even with tadalafil…
Returned back to working regimen I will keep you updated. Also I planned to try Keto DHEA as a Nerosteroid.

By returning old regimen, I have recovered from last crash but sensitivity is still not high as precrash levels I think this also related to dopamine.
I will never ever cut methylphenidate again.
I will add aromatase inhibitor soon.

I’ve started arimidex 0,5 mg first day I got complete recovery for 36 hours. Sensitivity came back libido restored to normal I got a little bit painful morning woods, also spontaneous erections were restored.
Unfortunately second 0.5 mg after 2 days did not give the Same effect. Morning woods were okay but spontaneous erections lost, I also felt a little depressed by the end of the day. Libido was higher but not like pre pfs level.
Next day I took 0.25 mg arimidex libido and sensitivity skyrocketed refraction period reduced to 30 minutes. I exhaust my self but I still have weird horny feelings in my genitals my libido is like adolescence but still do not have spontaneous erections.

Today i hit by extreme fatigue as a side effect of arimidex or diminishing estradiol, I do not know I may I endure this but, I will! My libido almost completely restored refraction period reduced from days to minutes, I Feel horny all the time and my response to visual stimuli is recovering slowly. Also my late ejaculation problem solved.

Wait so you crashed from arimidex but your libido is still good? I can’t even take a small amount of that stuff my bones and spine get shooting pain I would personally never touch that stuff ever again!

Well I cannot say this is a crash. It is a side effect of diminishing estradiol and increased dht. I hope it will be stabilized in a month. Also I am taking 2g of EPA 0,5 g DHA fish oil. It kills joint pain I had some kind of seronegative arthritis. Even with that I barely feel joint pains at the moment. May be in time it will hit me too, I do not know or it will diminish with fatigue we will see I will keep you updated.
