I’m just checking in and wondering how @irishguy754 is doing, and if anyone else has tied prep, and how they might be progressing.

[Tomas]

How is it going for you?

@irishguy754 : You made a topic about Psilocybe … at the end it was not working ?
Or you try to convince people to use everything that comes to your mind ?

I’m curious, and suspicious.

80% to 90% recovered with Psilocybin(magic mushrooms)

Hey I have been suffering from pfs for about 10 years now. I have tried everything. anti depressants herbal supplements, trt therapy. special diets. chlomid. i could go on. i saw a documentary that vice news were doing about how magic mushrooms helped with depression. so i got a hold of some and have been taking them for the last month and there is something different about this therapy. i actually got aroused for the first time in years. have any other guys tried this

I think that the other post is old, and that’s it.

Also here. So this is the third time he got nearly cured:

Maybe near full recovery, please read and comment

Hi, i used finasteride and it gave me brain fog and chemically castrated me, all the usual symptoms. I have been like this for 12 years, all the general symptoms from pfs. To put it mildly I suffered from anxiety and depression growing up and one of my parents was very abusive, so the anxiety of losing my hair was something I didn’t want to have to go through. For the past 12 years I have tried and failed with so many methods that I won’t list them all here, I will only list the one I feel th…

Read on and he’s quite open about it not working after 2 days.

[vanquish]

Well, people claiming that they got cured by using this or that, and then after a while coming back to the forum with the same problems isn’t very uncommon here. Besides, irishguy says himself that he has psychological problems. I’m glad that he’s feeling better, but I think this and other “recovery” claims aren’t very realistic.

[NewYorker]

So, has anyone else used prep, and have anything to report on it? After more than a decade of this, and watching my life pass by, i’m looking for hope, and eager to try anything promising.

[Rmoney96]

Waiting on my order, Irish and I have contact and he reports feeling a lot better still

[NewYorker]

Thank you Rmoney86. If Prep works for you, i’m also going to get on it.

[Rmoney96]

I’m accutane but I hope it does, I’m not make or break tho I’m also willing to do anything at this point

[NewYorker]

You and me both. I walked past a pharmacy yesterday, and saw all the medications behind the counter, and thought if I had taken a different pill each day, I may have already stumbled upon a “cure”, or become an unfortunate again, like us with PFS.

[Rmoney96]

Not sure what else could be much worse tbh, I work at a hospital… imagine how I feel!! Lol

[NewYorker]

Oh wow, I can only imagine how that feels, but hope it gives you hope in the power of medicine, and hopefully access to lots of testing. I do believe there will eventually be a test to identify PFS.

[irishguy754]

I do believe that I have peeked now for prep use. I am able to have sex as long as it is with a person I find attractive. The depression that I have isn’t as bad and I have slightly more energy.

It defently has helped with all the symptoms but I don’t believe it is a cure. It also only appears to work for finasteride not for anti depressants

[gents93]

which unit do you work in as an RN?

[Cornwellsb]

Just saw this thread. Very interesting. I had what I though was PFS and sought treatment from a cfs doctor in New York City. I also was treated recently on TRT which has almost pushed me to recovery (I have a separate post on here about that) but I also have a post on Phoenix rising about PreP a few times. A lot of my issues got better after antivirals. My cfs specialist prescribed me a ton of anti vitals and I was also starting prep at the time. I eventually stopped the other antivirals but I still take prep for sexual safety. TRT eventually pushed me to 98% recovery but I did notice a huge change after taking prep and commented a few times over at Phoenix about this years ago (My is is the same). My specialist was dr Susan levine who is one of the few CFS specialists in the world. She is really good at trying lots of things. I even did infusions into my blood of vitamins. Did finasteride cause this? Who knows. I discussed this with her once and theoretically there could be some link to fin somehow activating viruses in the body or lowering immune response but there is no way to prove it.
