Prostatitis treatment as a novel insight into Finasteride related problems

Hi salon, when are you retesting blood levels?

.

You just dont get it.You REALLY need to STOP with this nonsense. Since when did you become a prostate expert? Would you be able to give yourself a liver transplant and let us know how it goes?..its just another organ, not that hard to know what youre doing with itā€¦

ANY other medical problem I have I will fix it ON MY OWN. Dentistry and all!!! Give us a break son.

I donā€™t remember if this has been answered already;

I understant problems with the prostate can/will inhibit the effects of Testosterone on the sexual organs; but can prostate problems inhibit how Testo affects other parts of the body ie. skeletal muscle. brain fog, etc. ?

How quickly does Pavlos usually respond to emails? Im waiting 2 days nowā€¦

Hes probably been over-flooded by everyone on this board.

Iā€™m just about fed up with PFS. Iā€™m exhausted. I see a new specialist every other fucking week, Iā€™m so sick of hospitals, copays, waiting rooms, paperwork, unsatisfying visits.

I just had a TRUS done.

I find out that itā€™s a cute chick thatā€™s gonna perform the test, with the doctor observing. So I donā€™t get the time to reiterate my points about this whole unique prostatitis angle.

So she rams the testing apparatus up my ass (which hurt, but I think it was the irritation of my hemorrhoid) as the doctor observes and says that everything looks completely normal. He was anticipating a normal-sized prostate of 20-30cc, but my prostate was 14cc. What about the seminal vesicles? Normal. No inflammation, he says.

I didnā€™t get a copy of the pictures, and before I knew it, with my head in a cloud, disoriented from having the cute chick in the room with me, the doctor was off. Didnā€™t get to ask him why I get these random radiating pains in my testicle/prostate if everything is normal.

Iā€™m just as confused as ever. I was expecting to hear that everything was ā€œnormal.ā€ But if their normal was 25 or 30cc, then I might be less convinced. Now, at 14cc (8 years of 1.25mg/Proscar usage here) what does this all mean?

Iā€™m exhausted, I just really am. Iā€™m so sick of this shit.

Xhorndog,
you are so right. I feel with you. I am also so fed up with this shit. I am exhausted and frustrated. I am in this shit now for 8 years. I even havenā€™t had fluctuations. Itā€™s all the time the same for me (not getting better at any point).
And what sucks very much is that nobody really recognizes how much you suffer. Stupid and ignorant doctors who are only performing their daily routine work and stick to what they have learned years ago at university. Not interested in helping you.
The problem is that we are a minority (I guess that most Finasteride users do not have serious problems or if they discontinue the medication their side effects disappear).
I do not have much hope anymore. Not after 8 horrible years - years which I usually supposed to be the best in my life.

Hey man, I feel your pain, but Iā€™m not quitting, Iā€™m not abandoning hope. I just had to vent my frustration; it sucks just walking into yet another specialistā€™s office on auto-pilot, not expecting much revelation. We do have some feedback to await from the several guys who are seeing Dr. Georgiadis. Letā€™s see what we find out. Maybe this is our answer still, maybe the Chilln/101 stuff has some merit, maybe after a couple more shots at interventions, the best thing for me will be to stop visiting this board every day, stop chasing answers, and just continue to eat healthy and allow time to do itā€™s thing, whether thatā€™s time for natural healing, or time for major medical epiphanies to surface.

Iā€™m sorry to hear that xhorndog. Sounding polite but you know what i mean. Iā€™m off to Kos in 6 hours. Wish me luck men.

Thanks man, I wish you nothing but the best of luck, brotha! Report back here as soon as you can, good, bad, ugly, whatever! lol Thanks.

Iā€™m booked for Kos on the 10th of July. I am in the US, so I am not looking forward to the flight.

Thats great man. I wish you the bestā€¦

Getafinuser- Good luck man. I am hopeful sir.

All the best to all you brave souls headed to Kos.

As Xhorndog said, please keep us informed. Weā€™re pulling for you!

Just sayinā€™, I think Iā€™m going to Kos around july 7th.
Wish us luck. (hope Iā€™m not gonna pay 3000euros just to get my rectum brutalized daily for a month by an old pervert crook!)

If we all succed, we shall create the International Kos brotherhood of ex-propecia victims. We would vow to burn incense and candles to a giant picture of Dr Pavlos Georgiadis every day of july while we all gather around skype to talk about the goodā€™ol days of sunbathing and snorkeling in Kos with a painful rear endā€¦
(I guess that if we fail we will just be the international association of analy violated suckers with a limp dick)

Hahaha, Vence. I am in the most terrible mood but that post cracked me up. Nothing about our situation is genuinely funny but if you actually think about the process here it is ridiculous.

We took a drug to stop balding, that drug made us impotent and the cure might be getting intensely fingered by a man :laughing: :laughing:

Good luck to you all. That means there is about 4 of you heading over!

Ahahahahhaa. I needed that laugh too, man, today was just a shitty day. I hope you and all of us end up creating that altar to Pavlos and doing periodic trips back to Kos to celebrate. That makes 6 total guys paying a visit to the doc now, by my count: Blase & Venceremos, Getfinauser, J89, HarryP, Poga. Good luck to all!

Good Luck guys. Hopefully we will finally catch a break.

This is great work guys! I really admire your efforts for the cause! Cant wait to hear progress reportsā€¦

Good luck dudes :slight_smile:
