@stillhope If you have a good doctor in NYC who you’d recommend, or who’d like to see another pfs victim, please let me know. Perhaps with more testing, they may see a pattern…
Bump.So I took finasteride for 4 months last year and ended in September of 2018. I stopped taking it cold turkey and for the first month for full sexual function back. I am not 7 months off and have not recovered. I have no spontaneous, nocturnals, weak erections, my flaccid penis is shrunken and I’m severely depressed. I am at a loss about what to do. I will be taking clomid soon as recommended by Dr Jacobs. I am very scared about my future and would just like to hear insight on chances of recovery and what you guys think. Is 7 months off too soon to tell if I will snap back to reality ever. Please be honest about your thoughts. I hope the clomid helps but I’m not sure what is going to happen. I am contemplating penile implant surgery if things don’t work out for me so I just hope someone has some feedback on this. Is it a mistake to get the surgery after one year? My hormone panels came back complete normal. Testosterone at 500 which Jacobs called fairly low, which I understand but I am pretty sure this has do more with the conversion process to DHT. Dr Jacobs mentioned to me that DHT does not affect adult men and only in development. This was hard for me to believe that, if I just simply bring up my testosterone to the upper part of the range for my age, I will get full function back and my symptoms will be relieved. Can someone please provide feedback when they get a chan
I’m at least ten years off propecia, and pfs’ing for much of that time, when I didn’t even know what was happening.
What’s been consistent during that time is exercise, diet and weight, being the only things to keep me “normal”. Viagra works most of the time, and I think better than an implant. I don’t know much about the hormones, like clomid, but they worry me. I would consider Proviron before clomid. Personally, I’d rather have consistency than a roller coaster ride.

Yo said that you have improve your depression and anxiety.thats a step so dont give up the first step is to recover your mood and by the things your telling your improving a bit in that way,go to a psycologhist or a psychiatrican. And then when you feel more recovered try to do a more healthy life with exercises meditation and so,i dont want to say that you will sexually or nerulogically fully recover but with a great mood and a healthy life you will improve the other symptoms and live better with this
