Hello everyone,
I am quite a new member here, but it’s been almost 3 years since I took 2 pills of finasteride at the age of 19. I experienced most of the common symptoms.
I have tried many “soft” solutions like vitamine E, magnesium, nofap, etc. I do feel better mentally, and there is less muscle tension in my body. Though, I am still experiencing the sexual sides (numb, hard flaccid/shrunken…).
I did a blood test and I would really like to have your opinion on that please, what it means to you and if you know subjects which treat the same type of results…
