i will win this battle. i´m following this protocol right now:

(1) gluten free diet (about 2 months now)
(2) weight training 4 times a week. heavy lift (12 years)
(3) running 12miles week. (5 months)
(4) hygiene products free. (4 months)
(5) cotton clothes (change my pillow made from polyester/polyurethane)
(6) no sugar, no industrial foods, no spices.
(7) fruits, read meat, white rice
(8) I am not using any medication.

after this protocol, I started to feel better. why?

I think i have developed allergies.

allergy to gluten causes mineral deficiency and anemia. I’m with diarrhea for 4 years.
weight training boost hormones, testosterone and growth hormone
reducing hygiene products help increase bacteria.
running exercise increases lymphocytes and help the immune system. fight depression.

benefits

improved sensitivity in my penis
better quality of sleep
easier to reach orgasm
increased my energy
improved my voice (the voice was fading, too weak)
increased aggressiveness. (I was listless and lifeless)
improved concentration at work.
increased concentration of sex. (One of my biggest problems was the lack of concentration during sex or masturbation. always lost my concentration, as if I had drugged)

there is no medication for this pfs. the only way to fight is his own body. Forget testosterone injections.

hey I am doing pretty much all these things. With PFS I have lived in 3 countries under different conditions. Environment may help somewhat but underlying issue is still here. In the last country I was in had cotton sheets I nevver use products not plant based.

I have had some weeks where i feel a fair bit better but still have PFS no doubt.

seem to develop antibodies against the enzyme 5 alpha reductase. When some substance allergen comes into contact with the body, the immune system attacks the body.

I’m not taking any medication for several months. for me, drugs are completely useless.

I discovered that removing all allergenic substances from skin and remove all food allergens symptoms improve.

increases the will to live and ambition and desires
depression goes away
the perineal area becomes full
morning erection is stronger and filled
the skin becomes oilier
the ear produces more wax
my underarm odor increase
The penis begins to smell as it should be
digestion is normal, normal metabolism
diarrhea disappears, normal stool
increases the strength of orgasms,
better sensitivity in the penis
temperature increase
muscle strength
better sleep

for me it’s like finasteride weakens the immune system. any contact with substances that trigger allergy symptoms all come back slowly.

the first is the increased sweating
accelerated metabolism, the stomach empties quickly, I do poop 4 times a day, always diarrhea
reducing the oiliness of the skin and scalp
blurred vision
dizziness
dry throat
brain fog
diarrhea
mental difficulty
dry Skin
lack of odor on skin
depression
erectile Dysfunction
lack of sensitivity in the penis
difficulty concentrating
insomnia

I need to know if you also had facial fat loss and if you have seen improvements. I actually even have chin, jaw and cheekbone loss… but id expect that you didnt?

How does your face look like? Was it fucked by propecia? Is it better now?

Thanks

after 57 months after stopping the use of finasteride, had some improvements. This can help many people and give strength to continue following on.

  • fully recovered my hormone levels of testosterone.
  • regained strength
  • improved sleep. not entirely. Sometimes sleep is much better. varies from day to day.
  • full recovery of the concentration (brain fog)
  • I’m working with a lot of energy and I’m very competitive.
  • finally recovered from diarrhea. normal stool and 1 time per day.
  • recovery from depression
  • anxiety recovery
  • I’m “feeling” again.
  • few days that my sleep is extremely deep, have more rigid erections, oiliness on the skin of the penis, pleasure, orgasm, good ejaculation.
  • have nocturnal erections every night, but morning erections are less frequent.
  • spontaneous erections only when sleep is very deep.
  • I’m much happier and enjoying life
  • my aggression increased, but not yet fully
  • allergies stopped

increased libido and improved, but not yet returned to the levels prior to finasteride. I still do not get extremely hot.

definitely realized that “deep” sleep improves symptoms. must be that night’s sleep you wake up in the morning totally relaxed and happy to have rested.

#34

Did you have issues with sensitivity in your penis and if so have you noticed feeling return?

#35

I just recently started to get that “oiliness” on the penis skin feeling. It’s been 4 yrs off this month for me.

#36

Nice to hear. :sunglasses:
I’m glad you are going for recovery.

Just to ask:
So I think you had the same usual Sides.
So I must ask, what was your regimen against PFS?
What did you do?

I would do a lot of sports, but what I hate about it is that everything shrivels up and I get this numb feeling even worse the following days, so I’m not sure if this makes things worse in the long run, i.e. shrinking etc.

Else I got more energy for sure when I compare to my situation 3 month ago.
But still the usual sexual sides, light brain fog and floaters.

I would be really glad to hear from you.
Did you take any supplements like Longjack, Maca, Iodine, Tribulus?

Cheers and keep on going!

#37

i´ve tried all kind TPC an testobooster medications like clomid, tamoxifen, arimidex. Tried aromasin, andractim(6months), proviron, maca, tribulus, tongkcat, horny goat, zma, vitamins, triazole, pes erase, melatonin, bcaa, glutamin, l-arginin. gaba and others.

after some time, i started to get better. but I do not associate with any of the above substances. I’ve always done exercise before, during and after finasteride. I never felt that the exercises helped me. in fact sometimes the exercises worsen symptoms.

i think the most efective help is water fast. I made several short fasts and always felt changes. felt improved digestion, reduced anxiety and improved sleep. seems that supplements work better too.

I highly recommend trying the water fast.

cheers!

Hi backfromhell,
How long did it take until the depression and anxiety went away?

#39

Hi Backfromhell.

I want to thank you for your fast response.
Just wanted to ask something more.
In your Member Storie you mentioned you didn’t have sides until you took antibiotics.
mew wrote that antibiotics higher free testosterone.
Many Users got Antibiotics after quiting Fin because it could be a prostate infection in doctors minds.
Do you think that this could be one reason for people to crash? Like I did?
Did you experiance the Fin crash too?
Still having loads of hope from some memers on this board like you, chi, lightattheend and others.

Cheers Rist

Are you on VitD3 now? or have you used it before?

#41

I truly believe that the fin crash has something to do with the use of antibiotics; even people who have abused antibiotics in childhood.

Yes i had a fin crash. All symptoms of PFS. I was so bad it looked like a dead body walking around. I seemed lifeless.

is well established that finasteride unbalanced hormones.

with time the symptoms will improve and life will again have much meaning and pleasure.

#42

I took only 1 tablet of Vitamin D3 5000 IU now foods. disliked. I felt a little stirring. as I live in the tropics, can sunbathe all year. I think it’s the best source of vitamin D.

#43

depression stopped after about 4 years; Anxiety was more difficult. I think I improved after 4.5 years. never used anti-depressants. I am totally against using antidepressants to treat PFS;

#44

What are u calling spontaneous erections in deep sleep??? Are u talking about when u are sleeping

#45

Cómo estás hoy? Soy de argentina tmb y sufro SPF hace más de un año , gracias saludos

#46

A little bit update after some years. I have been recovered for all symptoms except for libido and ED. It´s much better libido and hardness, but not as before finasteride. I can enjoy now with some cialis, but I don´t like to use it, Cialis gives me headache.

Now i´m gonna try the Proviron cycle, as some users have been done. I think after those 12 years I have a better change to recovery from libido.

You mentioned you had stool/digestive issues.

Did you do anything to resolve this symptom? This is my last symptom, and it’s giving me a lot of stress. I keep thinking it’s some kind of liver failure.

#48

intermitent fasting and water fast. But who knows? may be this symptoms reovery for other reasons, I have been off medications for a long years. My stool are normal.
If you recovery from all other symptoms, why don´t you look for a regular doctor? I think it is much helpfull.
