Hi every one,
I don’t speak english very well but I’ll try to share with you my story.
Please find below some details about my background.
I took propecia for 4 years and after stopping it I had the side effects listed bellow but I took me a long time to realise that these side effects are caused by propacia.
As time goes on these side effects are less and less severe. I think that recovery It’s a matter of time.
In my case, I think that if I can find how to deal with my non allergic rhinitis most of my illness will heal beause I will breath correctly, sleep enough, and my brain will be oxygenated correctly.
If any one has experienced non allergic rhinitis, please let me know how did you deal with it.
Thank you!
