stay positive brother, i recovered from all symptoms in the list that i marked, just that minor tinnitus in my left ear remains.
what symptoms do you still have @wellshoot?
Did your scalp itch and hair loss go away?
Mate, what did you to recover?
the hair loss has picked up where it left like the pre-fin days slow but steady thinning/diffuse hair loss.
I had sometimes had an itchy skin pre-fin and the itchiness also is back like the pre-fin days.
nothing special really, just waited a long time. Picked up my workout routine, thats about it. No supps or anything else.

Sounds like your body is going back to normal. Really happy for you.
I think my hormones still havenāt balanced out yet. My scalp rarely itches now and my hair grew back a lot.
But the good news is that I can do some resistance training without getting extreme shoulder pain the next day.

Pretty much just sexual sides. Hypogonadal i.e. ED and low libido. My blood test showed my T below normal range so Iām hoping if I can get that up, Iāll be better.
Congrats man, really glad you managed a nice recovery!
May I ask,
- did you experience penile or testicular atrophy? Did any of those recover?
- did you get back libido?
- would you mind doing an endocrine bloodwork now, to show the community what values can indicate a recovered sufferer?
Thanks man
thank you brother.
I had penile atrophy, however it was on/off meaning some days it would be really shrunken while on other days it would be more of its normal size (without being erect). Nowadays it gets back to its full size when rock hard and is its normal size when flaccid.
libido is up for sure
I would if I could, but I dont think i can convince my doctor to do such a test. Since they do not believe in these horrible side effects, I payed for the hormonal tests myself early onā¦

its all gone bro. No fog no blunting. brain functions like pre-fin days. I didnt do anything special, apart from excersise and diet.
How long you need until your sexual sides start to disappear and you had also a hard flaccid?
it took a long while. I guess around 8 months, where it was quite zigzagy. some days were better than others.
Wow Iām almost in my 3rd month after quitting saw palmetto, and my sexual symptoms like hard flaccid and ED still persist. Your story gives me a bit hope that this symptoms can improve with time.
make sure you do some exercise cardio and strength training and give it some more time. thats all you can do really.
Sure I have no choice. I can just try to live a healthy lifestyle and to pray day by day that this nightmare will end someday or at least improve significantly.
What diet, bro?
No specific diet. I just try to eat as healthy as possible. Foods like salmon, ginger, chicken, rice, sweet potatoes, vegetables, onions, garlic, lemon. I eat candy/sweets and chips only once a week kind of like a cheatday.
The only addition of supplements that I use every now and then is a scoop of L-Arginine perhaps once every two weeks. I do notice that this has a direct impact on my muscles (since I workout) and increases my libido even more.

Thanks, bro. Do you feel you can lift the same weights you used to before PFS?
Do not know to be honest. Since all the gyms are closed. I work out at home with some 2x 20kg dumbbellsā and a bench.
