Well, I’m still not 100% yet. I was supposed to take a break from this forum until my friend told me he was also interested in finasteride, so I was hoping to gather a case for him to avoid it.
I’ll see you back in a couple of weeks. I will keep you and everyone else on this board in my prayers.
@CO1314 Is it common for people to make full recoveries after 3-4 months like that do you know? And was it a gradual progression or sudden?
It seems like that is the case for some people, especially those taking it for a short amount of time. There are also a number of forum posts with new people who never come back and update and I’m assuming it’s cause they recovered.
It was not sudden but all over the place. Things were always changing in the first 3-4 months. I would recommend not analyzing day by day cause it will be all over the place. I would add I never had a crash that others speak of, just bad symptoms until I recovered.
Thanks for your reply, but did you just have sexual symptoms or also pains and aches all over your body (i.e. joints, muscles, abdomen, legs etc.) Headaches, skin rash, dry eyes and so on and so forth.
I am very worried that I have permanent damage, even though I only used it 4 times topically.
I’ve been experiencing the same thing the past 2 months. Ups and downs with no rhyme or reason. I hope I have as good of luck.
I have had tinnitus for like 8 years now. It bugged me at first but I dont think about it anymore and I do this if it acts up. You might be in a different situation because I got mine from going to very loud music shows constantly for years so idk if this will help. But i think its called sound therapy. The idea is to play a high pitch sound and match it with the pitch of your tinnitus and listen to it for a few minutes. You can use a music program to try to match the Hz till it lines up with what you hear. Its tough to explain but I think you should be able to find some videos on it if you research that
I cant believe this frickin drug damaged me after 5 times of use.
In my case its not just the tinnitus, I also have an ache/throbbing pain in my ear, the ear doesnt pop anymore (its just my left ear). At this moment I would like to believe it still can get better…
Hey man is the ear’s hearing inpaired at all? I had a ton of wax built up in my ear a couple months ago to the point where I was pretty deaf in that ear. I put some drops in it and got 3 big raisin-like chunks of wax out. I didn’t have a throbbing pain though so I don’t know.
I believe it can get better too and I hope it does soon for you man.
Hey Wellshoot, my hearing is fine luckily.
I went to an ENT, but they cant find a cause (its Finasteride induced).
However, its not just the tinnitus but I in combination with ache/pain/fullness behind my left eardrum. Maybe its something in my Eustachian tube, because my left ear doesnt pop.
I’ve used nasal spray (corticosteroids) and I went to a massage specialist and did acupuncture however it still remains.
I dont know what to do anymore.
Damn that really sucks. It’s so frustrating that no one has answers to these symptoms
Hi guys, unfortunately after 6 days of progression I crashed and burned, literally.
Everything is burning, eyes, muscles, nerves. I’ve had good sleep but still my body doesnt feel rested at all, I feel like a train wreck.To to top it off with the continuous tinnitus, which throws me off the cliff. I cant see the pleasure of staying alive anymore. Nobody understands me and nobody can help me.
I dont have any hope of a full recovery anymore, I will be extremely grateful if I can make it back to 80% - 90% of my old self.
Brother, I’m sorry to hear that.
Please tell me you did not take supplements.
just magnesium and ginkgo biloba, i’ve been taking them from the 1st crash.
What is gingko supposed to do?
supposed to be good for mental health as well as ear condition.
If you’re really having a rough time, I’d cut out supplements for the time being, they’re just added variables. Many people here have worsened themselves, in some cases permanently, from the use of something they were using in an attempt at self therapy.
On ginko biloba, I just searched it and found these old posts. Might be causing you added problems.
Wow, i wasnt aware of that. It took it mainly for brain and tinnitus.
Im going to cut it out for a week and see if I notice any changes.
My hormonal test results came in (7 weeks post fin), unfortunately I dont have a baseline since I didnt do one pre-fin use. My symptoms are mainly physical.
Estradiol is a stupid high just as testerone.
Some questions I have:
Maybe your DHT levels are still very low, since your Test + E2 are borderline high.
Surprised your still have muscle weakness and wastage with high testosterone.
