@LazarusRy Thank you for the kind words, but some of the sides I have especially the sexual (especially, especially the physical changes that run me straight to the ground every time I visit bathroom) and neurological do not have many miraculous ‘cure’ stories here, so I think I am going to stay on this forum ‘persistently’ for the time being.
As for now the only supplement I take consistently is ALCAR after reading that Itookfinanddutast had some success with it. I guess ALCAR did not make anybody here worse and I think that it makes me feel a little better mentally after all.
@Huehueh96 I was taking those probiotics after an initial visit to gastroentrologist, but I think she really underestimated my problems. I think she totally ignored me mentioning finasteride as the culprit and treated it as a simple mild dysbiosis. I guess I will do comprehensive stool test to see what is exactly going on. But the problems with my gut are most likely caused by something being damaged by sudden hormonal crash, so I don’t know how much of my PFS problems can my gut cause (probably not much at all), but still potential neurotoxicity does not sound good.
And one more thing I don’t wanna get right now is a massive pot belly on top of PFS @25yo so I’ll do my best to fix the gut.
As far as I am concerned the problem with my gut can be only standard PFS constipation that is being turned to direarrhea by probiotics without significant dysbiosis, but who knows. And who knows what is exactly standard PFS constipation?
Funny how I went from thinking about my life in terms of finding a lovely wife, getting a better position at work, buying a house to watching out not to get a pot belly by some kind of weird syndrome that probably only 10-30 people have in my country. And a syndrome that I didn’t have to get at all. Well, that nobody here had to actually get. Such a great shame.
(Well at least for now I don’t have big muscle+skeletal+skin problems and I was spared from insomnia and brain fog)
Also I was lately thinking about the newest genetic study that is being funded and how it really is a shot in the dark as the PFS might easily not be genetic but dependent on ex. some conditions during development in the womb or even taking some 5ari supplements or foods at some point in life leading to epigenetic changes and leaving one vulnerable to the suicide inhibitor aka the magic, safe hairloss pill. I know that there is a pair of brothers that got PFS here, but the womb or taking some 5ari food or supplement hypothesis seem to still make sense next to genetic predisposition hypothesis. But I really hope the study will be successful and will keep donating. Additionally I hope that the Kiel study will be even more successful and will open a door to some further studies or even treatments (hopefully effective for more than a few months).
EDIT After reading notna and pvdl stories I have realised that the have developed the same symptoms within the same time intervals which would strongly indicate the genetic predisposition theory I guess.
