I took finasteride for about 2 years and stopped taking it on september 2011. I’ve had PFS ever since. Havent done much to try to fight to be truthful. I wanted to ask to the most experienced guys (Mew,etc.) or anyone else who feels is onto something, for some advice. What do u think are the most important things to do to fight this thing? could you tell me 5 things for example?
i did a hormone check a while ago and everything came back in range but i noticed that the results where in the lower end…i suppose like it happens to everyone.
start exercising,it is the only thing that keeps me feeling ok,i do one big weights session per week,full body workout,and a few days cardio,plus supplements,multi vitamin and mineral pill,also cod liver oil cap,zinc,vit d,try and eat healthy,im in my sixth year of pfs,ive tried quite a few things ive read about on here such as welbutrin,5htp,test patches,progesterone cream etc etc and all have made me worse,it has just taken me four months to recover from progesterone cream,i wont be experimenting on myself anymore thats for sure,best keep yourself as fit and healthy as you can and keep donating what you can to the foundation in my humble opinion…
robbo- have you been improving slowly each year at least? Do you get insane itching periods with recoveries? Like itching on your scalp, face, legs, eyebrows etc? The itching seems to push my upward swings.
Oddly enough, the other day when I was feeling pretty normal, I noticed that my penis and scrotum itched pretty intensely for the day. It went away the next day when I went back to feeling shitty but that’s interesting that you’ve noticed the same thing.
to finatruth,my fatigue has improved over the years i must say,there was a time,the first year i would say i could barely get myself off the sofa,the only serious sides i have now are the sexual ones,i never feel horny,never get nocturnal erections,never get morning erections,never get spontanious erections,never had any sexual problems ever before pfs,the only insane itching i can remember having is when i tried the progesterone cream in march for a few weeks,my scalp started to itch like crazy then the hair on my head started shedding like you cant believe,although it does seem to be growing back,i have one inch hairs now sprouting up allover the top of my head,it really does look strange,also about four inches at the bottom of my shins at the front are smooth now aswell since trying the progesterone,previously very hairy as is the rest of my body,that stuff nearly finished me off no shit,four months of pure hell untill a few weeks ago when it finally stopped and i felt normal again,ive been feeling pretty good since…
