“I had absolute trust in drugs and medicine”.
I did so too. Even after I read of cases of long lasting ED at the Citalopram leaflet. I believed the criminal leaflet of Finasterid. Without further checks.
There only mentioning ED can hold on after quitting. Nothing said of long lasting side effects, persistent for years.
And in the internet so much gaslighting missinformation. On the other hand clear warnings. But I ideot didn’t check it. Not for 10 second.
For you I hope time is on your side. Maybe your symptoms become better with time. There are some true stories of members with a good recovery, no fakes.
And many, many members here arrange with their new lives or fight daily for every little recovery. Younger ones much more often feel much better after some years.
Only we elder ones are totally frustrated, because we cannot adjust to our new life anymore.
Or research projects going to have a lucky punch and PFS is only one alteration in the epigenetic regulation only one key gen (region) coding for all, only one genetic marker and not a complex mechanism. (My thoughts as an armchair scientist, based on the actual state of research released here, but I studied microbiology once).
Your professor said he has hundreds of cases with decreased response to adrenals. It would be interesting how many of them PFS cases. Because I think we here on propecia help only representing 10 % of all PFS cases in Europe and North America and only 1 % in China, India and other countries with a language barrier. Here are 20 - 50 German cases registered. The PFS specialists talk about hunderts.
