Oh crap, that’s the revenge of the chicken pox! I’m not sure what fin could have to do with it. I wouldn’t doubt there’s some sort of link there, though it’s probably an indirect result of your general health. Possibly a weakened immune system that allowed it to re-activate? Either way, please do your best to take care of yourself. I’ll be sure to say a prayer for you tonight.
I’m giving an update on my status. Read my story above so you know what happened to me. I’m not on here much at all any more and dont plan to be. But i feel that i owe to the site to do this.
Ok, so this summer I felt like I was living in hell. Had All the mental, physical, sleep and sexual side effects listed on here. I was just about COMPLETLY impotent. Nothing. I thought that I was stuck like this forever.
This fall I made the bold decision to go back to school for my last year. I go part time. The first few months were rough but I could tell I was improving. By november, I was mentally feeling 90% normal (not sure, maybe I just felt normal but couldn’t really remember my old self)
Recently, i have been making big moves professionally. I have been working very hard and capable of doing things which would have been impossible over the summer. I have been very happy but very busy with what I am doing professionally.
As of about mid decemeber, I my sex drive started to rise. I currently service myself about 2x a day without problem. This also started after I stopped taking clomid and became very happy with myself and my current situation. Not sure how the clomid contributed.
A couple days ago, I had sex for the first time in 5 months. I used a little viagra. The girl wasn’t too attractive and I kinda got soft at points. But I had also taken valium which may have contributed. Last night, I had sex with a beautiful blonde. Used a little cialis but not sure that I needed it. I lasted over an hour and was hard throughout. Needless to say she loved it and so did i.
My natural doc suggested I dont take this stuff but rather go to chinatown and ask them what they can give me. cheaper, better and all natural. I’m thinking that soon I will not need anything.
My progress i believe is mostly due to time. I did go to a 10 day health retreat, took clomid for 6 months, and am still taking a big bag of supplements. I dont eat especially health and am hardly physically active (although i used to be very). I never thought the clomid did much and the supplements I really don’t take everyday as I should. Time and living a fun, productive life have been the most important I belive.
For all of you young ppl, read my story and know that you WILL improve. I’m currently 22. I was living in hell for a while, but now I’m loving life again. I’ll admit I considered ending it over the summer, but I am eternally grateful that I didn’t and how much I have improved.
seems you’re doing well, congratulations on the recovery!
Thanks for the update. We need more positive stories around here. Congrats on getting your life back.
Well done mate, it makes me very happy to hear you are getting laid and enjoying it 
Cong bro, well done. I think you PCT did well.
you wrote the reason, it is clomid that you took for 6 months. you did not mentioned when you stopped it. If you have been off for over 1 month then you are out of danger. Keeping in view your young age I think you are out.
The more I read of the wonderful experiences on viagra, the more I want to try it. It certainly can give you the confidence you need, but then again, it’s another suspicious medication.
What do we all make of this? I know labrea had the hardcore symptoms when he crashed and while he may not be fully recovered this reads like the most progress of any memeber with severe sides I’ve seen on here.
Is it down to getting on a long run of clomid particularly quickly or maybe his relative youth has made it easier for his systme to rejuvenate? I know there are lots of other sufferers in their early 20s without such luck though.
Anyway well done mate.
Labrea are you out there?!
I’m keeping my time on here brief.
Basically as of now, my only issue is sexual stuff. Everything else (as far as I can possibly tell) is fine. I’m able to be happy and work, concentrate as much as I ever have been…
I’m so busy I rarely have time to masturbate. But I know that my libido is much less than it used to be. i can usually get pretty hard about 100%, but it dosent last long and usually leads to premature ejaculation.
I’ve tried Cialis, that worked amazing. Rock hard and lasted forever. But after only about 10 total pills (I usually take half) I think i’ve got a tolerance cause it hardly works now.
I really want something to work. Hoping for that magic pill. I’m gonna start a link on another page about my attempts with Cialis and all natural stuff…
Hi labrea
How bad were your symptoms when you crashed compared to now? I mean like fatigue, muscle loss, fog, concentration? How much do you think clomid helped? You say your libido raised after you came off it?
As far as I can tell, every sypmtom other than sexual stuff is completely gone. I work probably 70 hours a week (run my own company and have become a mini celebrity in my city). I still manage to party 4+ nights a week (I just graduated college). I am far more productive and hardworking than any of my peers. When I was at my worst state, I thought I was gonna be on disability for the rest of my life. I am very grateful.
I think that stuff improved with time. Never really felt any great improvements with Clomid but it may have helped.
All I am concerned with now is sexual stuff. Combination of low libido, not getting full erections and premature ejaculation. Cialis was working, now it is not. I am looking for natural alternatives.
I really wanna to figure this out fast. Girls are throwing themselves at me and I’m avoiding them until I am comfortable. Any suggestions?
do u have any blood report ,after the crash and a recent one? u wrote that ur balls shrank did they come back to normal size
I got blood taken yesterday, will have it again monday, and an appointment Friday.
Yes I had about every symptom on this site. Currently, everything about me mentally, physically is 100% normal. I’m mentally stronger than most of my peers. Amazing considering just a year ago I thought I was gonna be on disability my whole life, couldnt even keep a conversation going with my parents. Yes my genitals feel and look 100% fine.
All I care about now is either raising testosterone or finding a cure for my ED problems. Looking for any advice with that stuff. I know it may take time, but currently I want to find some sort of natural medication because I met an amazing girl and dont want to lose her.
Anyone have suggestions? Cialis was great but dosent work much for me any more, and I’ve been trying Yohimbe but still not sure about it…
This site changed alot for me. I think you’ll find the same in your condition, as you are not very bad and will probably react favorably to these supps
Labrea
Good to see you back and that you got over most of your symptoms. Have you seen an endo recently, the guy who gave you Clomid for example, to see where your hormones are? We traded pms and you were as bad as me so I’m very pleased for you. Perhaps it was just a straightforward low testosterone crash, I read you experienced increased hairloss when you came off which isn’t the norm and perhaps suggests you had not damaged DHT sensitivity.
Labrea I read somewhere you had the loss of pleasure/enjoyment symptom from simple things, did this also improve? and if so via what means, did clomid help?
how low was ur T when u got tested first time? I would say just wait maybe ur T will come back normally. before u try any thing do tons of research. I can tell u some people use tribulus and get high T but on the same time I have read tons of stories of people who got hypogonadal after using Tribulus.
I do not have my past test results, but at one point my testosterone was levels were in the 100’s and my doctor said close to that of a women.
I believe my most recent test was around november and were back at 300. I will know in a week where they are at now.
I havent been on this site in a long time, and I forgot how screwed up I was a year ago. VERY grateful for where I am and sorry for those who have not improved much.
As I said, I feel mentally 100% (as far as I will ever know). The ONLY problem I have now is sexual. I believe because of low testosterone.
I am not sure how or why I improved so much. It seems that many people still have both mental and sexual sides and my mental sides are all gone. The 2 major things I did were Clomid and a 2 weeks health center retreat. However, I do not know how I benefited from these things other than that at some point, I started feeling much better.
To be honest, I stopped going to doctors and almost forgot about any health issues for 9 months. I also hadn’t been on this site in that time. I was so busy with school, friends and starting my business. I think this has a lot to do with my recovery.
I’ve had some hook ups and managed to get by with some Cialis. But recently I’ve been seeing a girl regularly and sex hasn’t been so good. Usually results in PE which I think is because I am struggling to keep it up and bust. Anyways, this has brought me back to the site, in hopes to figure out how to get better ASAP and be able to have the sex life I used to (I was legit a machine in bed before Propecia). Hoping to try things to boost my low T and other natural forms of Viagra.
Good luck. Any advice is appreciated. Sorry but I dont have the power to answer too many questions as I think being away from this site is one of the most beneficial things for me.
