Return of an old member... to remind you guys all is not lost

Symptoms Sexual

Hello guys, I don’t know if anyone would remember me. I was here some time back, perhaps 2 or 3 years.

I had low libido, sexual dysfunction and occasional sleep disturbance, mild brain fog and hot flashes around 8 months after quitting Fin (took for around 1 year maybe).
But the mental sides/ sleep issues have completely resolved now. Only persisting side is low libido (much improved now) and low ejaculate volume.

When I joined this forum and was reading threads, I have always wondered what happened to some old members, how come they do not reply or update us after 2-3 years. Whether they had recovered or moved on.

So I know I haven’t been around too. But I wanted to reconnect and to share my experience during the past 2-3 years, especially with the newer members. Cause it’s frightening when PFS hits you first.

Glad to hear your mental sides and sleep are better. Thanks for reporting back! So your erectile dysfunction did not improve at all? I was confused because it wasn’t listed as a persisting side. I get confused easily these days lol

Hi, How about your ED and testicular shrinkage? any improvement in these 2 years?

#6

Hey sorry for the late reply.

So what’s improved are:

  • Libido (70-80% recovered) , have morning wood.
  • Mood 100%
  • Sleep 100%
  • Hot Flashes 100%
  • Sexual function 70-80% (can have sex weekly or less)

Not improved:

  • Tesrticular shrinkage
  • Low ejaculate volume
  • Occasional low libido
  • Body composition (flab on abdomen and boobs) like pseudogynecomastoa. Am working on this with gym and diet

I haven’t taken any supplements, or medication. Just occasionally took Zinc Tablets and Whey Protein. I don’t think I’ll ever be 100% libido wise.
But can function at current level.

I think structural changes / shrinkage of Prostate and Testis are Permanent hence the small testis and low ejaculate volume

But all in all, compared to before a major improvement which occurred gradually over time

I’m very serious about lifting , gym and diet now. Will see how much I can lose fat. If I can do that, that’s another addition to the recovery.

To anyone in despair, give it time. Try not to stress about it, and hopefully with time you’ll see some improvement.

Good to hear from you :slight_smile:
Which diet are you following?

#10

don’t you feel tired, without energy?

#11

have you ever used viagra or cialis before getting better?

#12

I have tried cialis and it helped. EQ improved and confidence went up.

Haven’t used in a while and haven’t had to. Sensitivity and refractory are not fully the same but are manageable.
