Ignore my last message. my bad

So just back to the main point I posted this evening.
The best explanations for my recovery are time and good diet and exercise.
It took many years.

But the fact I took quercetin/bromolain complex so close to the recovery start is interesting.
I read online it can affect prostatitis.
I do not remember what I took, or quantity. I think I only used it for 2 weeks.

Just my two cents. maybe will help someone.

Hey StartingOver:

First of all, congrats on the recovery and making good progress on life.

Long story short. My experience is very similar to yours: 26 yo when I
started Fin, quit about 2 years later, was good for like 6 months, then
experienced the crash and has only been slowly recovering since March 2013.
It’s been about a year and a half now since I crashed. All symptoms are
better compared to when I was the worst, however I still suffer from the
following on and off, some days better then others: muscle fatigue (lack of
muscle tone and growth in spite of exercise), brain fog, slow learning,
retaining, and recalling new information, insomnia (I can fall asleep, but
sometimes wake up 1 or 2 times in the middle of the night, no refresh
feeling in the morning), adhedonia (not just when it comes to sex, but
pretty much everything in life, eg, music, taste, emotions etc),
mild/moderate depression, problem with spontaneous erection, however ok
with stimulation, low semen volume.

I have a few questions hope you can provide some answers to:

  1. I can’t recall if you had problem with sleeping. If you did, did that
    resolve completely for you? Specifically, do you sleep sound and nice now
    and can wake up with a refreshed feeling?

  2. ever since I crashed, my skin has aged a lot. My skin used to be smooth,
    soft and elastic, but now appears rough, blemished as a result of
    sedimentation of pigments, and inelastic. I didn’t come across this issue
    in your post. Did you experience this problem? If you did, is that
    something that’s resolved for you over time?

  3. The decline in intellect capacity is something you mentioned. I wondered
    if that’s resolved for you? Nowadays, do you feel like your intellect
    capacity has come back to pre-fin?

Thank you very much for answering my questions. Overall I am optimistic but
sometimes I feel like all I do is mourning over the loss of something that
I was taking for granted before.

Ive also recovered two times when I traveled from europe to usa. it was in 2015 summer and 2016 summer. few days of complete recovery. but after I was back in to anhedonial depression (no strong emotions,lack of pleasure) and no libido. but for a few days after travel, I was fine for a few days. circadian rhytm restarted or something. Ive emailed you pls get back to me.

That is exactly what I was been thinking about. Maybe we have a very small prostate because of Finas.
have you ever checked your prostate size? How do you know that your prostate have grown?

This is exaclty what I experienced. I moved back from US to China and things gradully started to get better since then. Now I’m 95 percent recovered.
