It’s about anxiety, stress, depression, social abilities, speech, focus and concentration, motivation, clarity, happiness, mental/physical energy, memory, emotions, appetite, libido, sleep, dexterity, and probably lots of other things that I’m forgetting to list. PFS hit me hard in all of these areas. With time alone, the heaviest brain fog subsided in 18 months, but only really two things helped me, and god knows I have tried everything. This stem cell therapy helped and also the alpha-stim I bought on ebay also helped. I think the brain is where all PFS issues lie and we need to treat PFS the way doctors treat dementia. Detoxing works but, in my experience, not permanently
I’ve made really strong improvements in some areas and in other areas still need work. But my status is STILL CHANGING. More importantly I am still improving overall. I have my good days and I have my bad days. On a good day, I have almost everything I lost, including much of my sexual function. On a bad day I just try to remind myself how incredibly far I have come since my darkest days in 2009.
Ive made a lot of changes to my life. I’m definitely a lot more social than I was, enjoy the company of others, enjoy going out, look forward to exercise, and look forward to whatever life has to offer. I used to just sit around all day in my room
Sex is a big part of our lives and it’s what we notice first, but this drug has hit us in every aspect of our lives. I’m a happy person and I’m sure 100% sexual function will come eventually, probably around 2016, but I’m not going to let it stop me from going out and enjoying life.
I thought I only had sexual sides until I started really making gains in other areas and now, looking back, I’m really starting to realize how bad I was across the board. The biggest gains have been with mental side effects.
My eyes are a lot better, but my left eye is still sticky/crusty in the morning at times. I think the sticky-eyes and blurry vision has subsided to the point where I can go back to wearing contact lenses again. I never had tinnitus, but my hearing does kind of suck. I have no idea if that has anything to do with PFS though.
There is a clinic in my area that does this stem cell procedure. What did you tell them you had to get them to give you treatment? PFS doesn’t fit into any of their little boxes. Did you just say you had ED?
I saw you talking about cerebrolysin on the board and I’m just wondering
how many cycles you’ve run of it and if you are still maintaing the
positive cognitive effects. Im really interested in taking it so any advice
you could give me would be much appreciated.
I made first contact to the stem cell clinic. Hopefully they call me back. If not I will be calling them back soon. This crash just happened to me ~3 weeks ago and it hit me hard in a lot of areas. I probably can’t tell them that. Probably have to say its been an issue for a couple years or something. Anyway, This is the only thread on this entire site that gave me some hope. I had considered a consult with Dr. G, but that would have cost me a bunch of cash and no one has reported any worthwhile outcome sexual or mental. I am going to give this a go before I run out of cash on doctors that can’t help us anyway. I will keep you posted.
oh then that means our damage is transmitter related not tissue, correct?
also joe, sorry to ask another question but how many stem cells did you get injected the second round? the person i talked to said a man after drug addition damage, was completely healed after 10 rounds of stem cells, but i suppose that also depends on how many were injected as well. my family is willing to give me a lot of money towards this so, if it keeps working i’ll get the injections as much as needed, and hopefully a better outcome will come with embryonic stem cells.
you are such a positive person!! i have suffered so much from psychiatric damages and have been so close to committing suicide, i can’t feel ANY emotion, nothing, life is hollow and empty, but I’m not even joking your story and your will i repeat it to myself and it keeps me going, i swear, so i hope you know that your not only changing peoples lives but you truly helped mine not because of you getting stem cells but because of how hard you try and how strong you and your mindset are
Just looking at your profile… you’re 23 and used Fin for 13 years? You went on Fin at 10?
According to the people who work at or own the clinic they “sold” him ten rounds of “treatment” and he was allegedly better. Are they willing to describe to you the EXACT methods they are using and what the science is behind it?
Have you considered talking to actual research scientists like Bhasian about the potential of this type of “treatment” before forking over thousands of dollars to a clinic?
If you want to get legitimate stem cell treatment, go see Dr. Khera at Baylor. He is conducting clinical trials for ED by giving testosterone and injecting patient’s own stem cells. While your there, please participate in the PFS study.
I wonder if you would have had better results doing the second round of stem cell injection after a longer period. They recommended doing it after 6 months, but maybe waiting until all the stem cells from the first round had died was better. You indicated your libido was strong while active stem cells were in your system. This way would keep active cells in there longer.
Hi guys. Just wanted to do an update on my status. I had bloodwork done, the whole nine yards and there are some changes I wanted to document for the benefit of everyone here before I get completely banned from this forum. I’ve already been banned from accessing the site on my mobile device:
"You have been permanently banned from this board.

Reason given for ban: Continued posting of theories, countless 100% reversal claims, complaints from other users. It is best if both sites maintain their distinctions, keep Theories on solvepfs.com going forward. Best of luck to you in the future.

I can still log in via my laptop though to type this:
There has been a steady upward trend of my FERRITIN SERUM level. Last lab was 48, lab before that was 24, current lab is 66 mg/mL
So it went from 24 to 48 to 66. My doctor says this is a good overall indicator of my overall health and my absorbing of nutrients. My Luteinizing Hormone and FSH Serum are right smack in the middle of normal range. Both values are substantially higher. My free T is right outside of normal range (but double what is was in previous labs). My vitamin D is normal but I have been supplementing on and off so its hard to know if that means anything.
Overall I feel like my mental side effects are gone and mood and well being is way better than it’s ever been. However, my sexual ability is not where it was in the 12 months following the stem cell therapy. As everyone who has been following this thread knows, I have been very reluctant to recommend stem cell therapy because it’s very expensive and wanted to take a wait and see approach. At this point I am still not sure because I am approaching year seven off finasteride and a lot of people recovered after seven years with time alone.
I’d like to continue updating this thread because I have heard that benefits of stem cell therapy can continue for many years and I have at least another 2 years or so I’d like to report on, but I might be banned from every IP of every computer I have access to at that point. So this may be my last post. If so I wish everyone the best of luck if I disappear completely…one day we’ll all be ok and look at this fiasco as something that made us into stronger people
