Hi Casual. I was reading your thread and saw you saying about problems with premature ejaculation. I’m having problems with this as well. Is it okay again along with the other symptoms that got better?
Also, i’d like to know if your diet was only including healthy foods or if it involved also strict strategies like avoiding anything.
Congrats for the recovery. Enjoy life, it’s a beautiful road.
hey Brother,
I had premature ejaculation from until about 6 to 8 months post fin.
This symptom recovered but it took almost the longest. Currently I am 11 months post fin use.
I do try to eat healthy foods weekly and only have ‘cheat’ meals during the weekend.
Think of avocado, salmon, lemon (e.g. in tea), broccoli, mixed nuts etc. etc. I also workout at least 3x a week (mix of cardio and weightlifting).
Good luck on your recovery and stay positive, time heals a lot of your symptoms.
You are my favorite recovery story on this site. I keep coming back to it to give myself HOPE when im feeling down. Currently at 3 months post fin and 2 months post Min.
I was gonna ask, how important would you say NoFap and NoPorn is to recovery? Did you ever try it?
Is this the entire result from this saliva hormone test or just a section of the report ?
Is “pregnenolone sulfate” included in this saliva hormone test ?
Did you have saliva DHT tested?
It’s my understanding that saliva hormone testing is showing the amount of free hormones of a particular hormone not bound. It’s also my understanding that the amount of free hormone of a particular hormone is what makes it to the receptor. So in the case of testosterone and Estradiol we are talking the AR receptors and ERa and ERb the estrogen receptors.
Your free estrogen (saliva) is towards the top of the reference range. My free estrogen (saliva) is towards the bottom of the reference range.
Same with free testosterone (saliva). Yours toward the top of the reference range and mine towards the bottom
I wonder if this is evidence that your receptors are down regulated and mine are up regulated. Maybe this is why your body binds less of the testosterone and estradiol and mine binds more
After reading several recovery posts and talking to people personally, it seems like the 6 months mark is a recurring theme. I’m quite curious what is happening in the body?
I know Saliva hormones represents free amounts. Did you have Saliva DHT tested?
I had that done after PFS hit me hard, after about 6 weeks post. No DHT, only Test levels.
Around the 4th month mark I did a bloodtest incl. DHT levels.
Hope this answers your question.
For all my brothers that have kept me sane during times of distress and horror.
I want to give you some hope by saying that i have completely recovered from all my symptoms post fin (now 14 months post fin use). Somehow I cannot change the title of this thread, as far as I am considered this can be changed to 100% recovered.
Hope that this will give some hope for some that are still in it struggling. I wish you all will find some improvements with time. I hope that I wont make a mistake like taking a fin type of drug in the future and frying my nervous system again.
Stay positive, bless.
How severe was your penile insensitivity, and it took around 8 months to notice a major change?
It was pretty severe, I had all the symptoms you can imagine (flaccid, rubbery, no libido, difficulties/unable getting it hard and so on).
After 6 months I had some improvement in the penile department, however still zig-zaggy.
It started to restore after 8months post and onwards.
I currently have zero penile issues.
Did your hair loss increase during recovery?My PFS is almost six months .
I’m on 2 months and my hair loss has continued.
Did you have testicle shrinkage?
I believe I did, I have recovered from all symptoms though.
Hey casual I am currently 2 months into suffering from really bad tinnitus and 4 months post fin. You are one of the few stories that have claimed to recover from this. Could you give a time line or offer any advice for things that helped?
Sorry for your situation brother.
As you might have read, I have had dexamethasone injected into my ear, which helped.
I havent read your story, but it for me it took around 6 to 9 months in total for it to resolve.
Your recovery story literally gives me hope and will to hang on to life.
Im currently 14 months in , everything recovered except ED, rubbery dick, no sensitivity etc…
Can you tell me exactly how you started notice improvements specifically in penile numbness and visual libido sides
Please tell me there is hope… please
Bro, im not familiar with all the symptoms you had. The rubberydick/sensitivity issue was the last thing I recovered from, so there is hope.
After the one year mark I started to notice difference each month or so in the penile department, this lingered but around the 18 months mark I was fully recovered. I used some supps in the beginning like L-Arginine and Zinc.
Till this day I use 1 scoop of L-Arginine a week and 3x Zinc. I workout cardio 3x a week icm with strength training. Hope this helps.
Thanks for the help.
Once again, glad you recovered. I am simply left with ED and Penile numbness and really hoping I can recover soon.
Did your fog/cognitive issues resolve pretty early? Or was it 6+ months out?
