Reaching Out to Wives/Girlfriends/Partners

General Discussion
#1

Hi all,

I am the girlfriend of someone who has been suffering from Propecia side effects for 2 years now. I’d love to get in touch with other long term partners. I’m dedicated to my partner’s wellbeing and to our relationship but it just gets hard sometimes, and I sometimes feel all alone.

I’d just love to hear experiences, coping strategies, etc. I’m most happy to be helpful where I can as well. Please PM me if interested (guys, if you could ask your partners, that would be great).

Please know that I send all you guys much goodwill, warm thoughts, prayers, compassion, and strength as you continue in this fight.

the best way to help would be to create general public awareness about this condition, through print media, electronic media etc.

That’s very kind of you, but alas my girlfriend left me.

#4

My girlfriend is very supportive but I wish that she would leave as the sexual sides are definitely frustrating to her and are kind of depressing for me, if I was single life would be easier

Hey Heyder,

I’m really sorry to hear that. I wish I could help you.

Dear Korombozoo,

My boyfriend has expressed the same sentiments. He has said that it would be easier if I chose to leave–“at least then at some point the pain would end.” It breaks my heart. It is also obviously not so simple. I wish you all the best.

I actually disagree with the original post Gazelle i think it is better to lead a different life when the symptoms kick in, because the stress and pressure that will come with being in a relationship will not help the situation, it is better to go into meditation and yoga, lead a healthy lifestyle and forget about your pleasure sexual, food, drink, smoking, etc for a while until you feel better

haha i wish she had not left… it was the darkest year of my life, the stress of the break up did very weird things to my body thanks to the co existing PFS.

I’m so sorry, Heyder. I hope the road is a little brighter now?
