NumbDuck story - 95% recovered after 7 years

point taken, but you are still sabotaging this thread. You sound like a five year old. This forum is for people who need support cease this behaviour. You.ve made your point . I won’t say anything more because we are distracting from the point of this thread.

Alright, fine. But if you ask me I think this forum should be more about finding out ways to get better and raise awareness then giving out wishy washy advice on relationships Dr Phil style.

He’s some real advice. Whether you like it or not even if you did not take finasteride you would have had days that your just not interested. You need to explain that to her and say not today but definable tomorrow.

Just shut your trap, stalker.

I ge may emails of people asking me about my progress. I point them to my thread here, so please do not screw my thread by going on a tangent especially if you are attacking each other, no place for that here.

Thanks all for advice. Remember i told uro about my problem with fin and he almost laughed. I am much more comfortable telling her i took an antidepressant and it did this to me, she does not need to know it was finasteride, i told her a drug, but she does NOT seem to unerstand and shee keeps putting me in the unpleasant position of being unable to perform. She keeps talking about how much she wants me, because when it works it is good for her, but i don’t think this is a good idea. I like her and i am really afraid of being alone again but i am a human and have some pride. When i was horny all girls were much less horny than me, and now i keep women who are real horny and always talk about sex…funny stuff,…

Whatever you say pervert/weirdo/douche.

It is very odd that while i was having problem perform with this girl a week ago, i have been much hornier than usual this week, not common at all. Is this the progesterone starting to work? I hope so, cause now i am in my second off cycle.

What is weirded is that i have been having really explosive orgasms, i have not had that in YEARS. What the hell, i mean that is great, but like you all we become suspicious and afraid that the party wil not last. it has been only couple of weeks like this. It could be due to the dht cream that i put on last weeks on and off sometimes…

Another thing i have been doing is rubbing olive oil on my legs and penis as a moisterizer to replace the cocnut oil since peole say coconut is bad but frankly have not noticed a side effect from it at all, if anything the contrary…

Life would have been good without all this sht we deal with

i crashed
it has been two days I have been experiencing major fatigue, cold body, cold feet and hands, tingling in my feet, a state of malaise and depression.
I have been reading about hypothyroidism and i have many of the symptoms including increased fatigue after lunch, vertical ridges on my nails, itchy skin, depression, sexual problems, although they do not mention genital numbness…

i can’t believe i fucked myself that hard with that pill

What could be the cause of my crash? the only thing I have different in the last week is to exercise everyday, lifting and some running, for 5 days in a row, I was planning to take a break for 2 days, but my first day of break was my crash… is it possible for exercise to lead to that?

Hey did you do another progesterone cycle or are you still off of it?

Could it be just the lack of progesterone?

Are you taking anything else or all natural?

Supplements included

It’s likely that the crash is due to LH suppression by progesterone. Try to use something that boosts LH such as Tongkat Ali / Tribulus, just once a week though, or your body will get used to that.

My new tests confirmed the old: I have low androstenedione level. Interestingly, progesterone is a precursor of that it seems, specifically:17-Hydroxyprogesterone.

My question is: are you guys testing androstenedione too?

Hah my dr tested all the major hormones like test esto tsh cortisol … they all came wacky but in range and told me to change my diet.

So I changed my diet and funny enough its helped… Although im still not 100%

Have you gone back on progesteron… its the only thing i think that has any merit here…

Although i am taking creatine

my doc asked me to stop everything so we can get a more accurate test next time, so I am stopping for a month or two, not sure I can do that, let’s see…
In the meantime I can probably work on eating healthier, light exercise (so I don’t crash,…),…

Bjamin,
I am not sure if I understand you correctly. Did the change of your diet improve your situation? What kind of diet are you on and what got better?

Eating more veggies and less carbs in the morning helped. Lifting weights and doing cardio helps.

Living like a monk helps. I have another appointment with an endo but I doubt ill see anything beneficial coming out of it other than useless blood tests and another textbook dr not knowing what to do.

The problem we have is one of enzymes genes receptors neurotransmitters its a cascade effect. How could any dr possibly figure out how to help us.

Either way I push on because we must.

I was feeling better than average until today. This morning I had farm salmon (from chile) and blackberries for breakfast, and boom, I crashed after. I had brain fog which I haven’t had to any serious extent for several months, and all the other sides followed.

It might be a coincident. This is not the first time I have the same brand of salmon and I cannot recall whether I crashed after that, maybe I felt worse but did not link it.

All I know is that farm salmon are given astaxanthin to create the pinkish color in nature. Now astaxanthin is a 5-alpha reeducates inhibitor. enough said. Any thoughts?

Numbduck how you doing no update to your thread in a while are you still using progesterone?

I mentioned earlier that a girl was visiting me and i was very stressed about that, especially that I was not doing well at all. Here is what I have done and has worked much better than expected:

a week before I took some progesterone followed by a very small dose of andactrim, the size of a pea really not more every day. Taking less seems to work better since i did not have pimples this time.

The day she came I started taking Tongat ali (TA), i felt immediately better on TA, I took it every day for the first 4 days. I got libido and I took ED medications so I was able to perform. TA helped with the depression too.

The effects have worn out since the last dose, after 3 days of the last dose, so my libido dropped again, but mentally I still feel quite OK.

This is what I have taken but my feeling is that TA made the difference. On the third day I felt symptoms of an impending crash but took TA again and felt better after few hours. I am just taking one pill (Have to check how many mg).

The question is: now she is gone and I do not have to perform, DO I CONTINUE TA? It seems to have helped mentally and with numbness too, would be amazing if I could stay like this forever. It is FAR FAR from ideal/normal, but hell beats the numbness/fog/depression and other symptoms I have…

Thoughts appreciated…

Mate good results with prog.

I found progesterone along with 6mg clomid once a week makes it work for me… stacked with dht probably amazing.
