A bit better so far and it’s only been two weeks. Also I have noticed that semen color has changed from yellow to the proper color, like a whitish clear
Well all my recent bloodwork prior to the stem cells was actually quite good. My testosterone level was actually that of someone ten years younger than myself. When I was at very worst point of PFS in 2009 I did have some bottom of the range testosterone numbers, but the last year or so everything looked pretty good. I’m interested in seeing how my vitamin d looks, which was really the only thing that has always been way off unless I supplemented.
I’ll probably get some bloodwork done in the next several months or so, but how I feel is really the most important thing to me. If I feel good, thats really the only barometer that means anything to me. I’ve had more than my fair share of doctors telling me I should feel good because my bloodwork looked good
Bad and annoying. I was actually seeing blood in my underwear because this area got so inflamed. Eventually at one point it spread backwards and I got a nasty anal fissure and I needed medical attention. I was prescribed fluocinonide to control the fissure and I kept the tube on hand and used a small amount on my perenium area to keep the inflammation at bay. Since the stem cell therapy I haven’t needed my fluocinonide cream anymore. The inflammation is gone

how your T increased? b/c of LDN therapy? what might be the reason?
I think it’s just a matter of time gradually leveling things out after many years. When I first quit finasteride my hormone levels crashed to a very low point and many years later they have settled at a decent point in range. The body does heal a little bit in time. Almost everyone with very severe brain fog will experience it lifting at the 12-18 month point. I don’t know if LDN did or didn’t help
I’m not really sure bloodwork is really the be all end all. If you feel amazing sexually, mentally, and physically, are you really going to care what your bloodwork looks like? For years I’ve been told that I SHOULD feel normal because my bloodwork looks good but felt like my body was dying. I’m really interested in feeling better, my blood could be green and I don’t care as long as I am happy
It’s been a while since I’ve had bloodwork but the total T has always been good. It’s the free testosterone that’s left a bit to be desired. Never outside of range but I did have some labs where it was in the low end of the range when for a relatively young person it should be at the top third of the range
Hey Joe, are the improvements you’re having staying consistent? A few days ago you said your mind was very clear, has this improvement lasted? Please let us know and thanks.
Yes, so far I am still very sharp. I think things should continue to get better. From what I understand the stem cells continue to duplicate themselves for quite some time.
A few other changes I’ve been noticing:
Scalp is very oily when I wake up in the morning
Acne has increased
My skin feels softer, less dry
Blurry vision is getting better
Hair loss has accelerated
The last point about the hair loss kind of surprised me because I had scalp injections done at were supposed to prevent or reverse hair loss. On the other hand if the hair loss means my body is going back to normal then I welcome the loss and hope more hair loss comes
ferris bueller, your my hero! … joetz, i think i want to do this, just for the mental improvements man! i am in California, where is this doctor located?
interesting about the hair loss my friend, who knows, maybe it will kick in around the two month time frame they mentioned … one thing is, when i quit finasteride, my hair started poring out of my head, but as i crashed, it completely stopped and i have literally not lost another hair since, and the texture is horrible … so, perhaps the fact hair loss is starting up again is a sign things are starting to kick into gear for you
if you dont mind, can you talk about sexual and physical changes when you get a chance? my body has been thrashed by this, including bloody fucking gyno and feminine fat patterns (I look like fucking kathy bates) and i am wondering if testosterone etc. starts kicking back in as it should, will this help to reverse these things
thank you so, so much! i really, really want to do this procedure, and sooner vs later
I was a bit surprised they offered to inject your scalp with stem cells to “regrow” your hair. If they are making such claims their ethics are in serious doubt as they are well aware there is not a single shred of scientific evidence to support it.
deluxxxxx, I know English is a second language for you but that sentence and some of your other posts are completely unintelligible.
I think doing the procedure would be a big risk and not a wise decision. I only had stem cell therapy three weeks ago. I do feel better and have noticed some improvements but for all we know I could come back next month and tell everyone I crashed, feel like shit, and this thing didn’t work. I’ve had to go back on those kinds of claims many times before and hope I don’t have to do that again but anything is possible
I know we are all desperate and feel like our lives are being wasted but I need months, not weeks to know if this worked. I haven’t had enough time to verify that the effects I am experiencing are long term.
