Well, it is with great pleasure that I announce that today, ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-tam ! I started losing my hair again !!!
I’m so happy, I have tears in the corner of my eyes… I’m producing enough 5ar to lose hair !!!
I’ve read that "The pharmacokinetics of finasteride and dutasteride are as such that they are nearly irreversible inhibitor of 5α-Rs, with slow rate of dissociation, leading to a long-lasting effect of the drug, regardless of dose administered. " . Ha ha ! Slow rate of dissociation but not impossible to dissociate mother f**ker !
It’s been some 22 years since I stopped losing hair. I though I was done, they would never fall again but the miracle occurred ! This means I slowly but steadily produce more 5ar, more DHT, more allopregnanolone and 5a-THDOC (well, maybe. Im not sure…Lol). But anyway, I was losing my hair in my early 30’s, fin stopped it, stopping fin changed nothing (well beside getting pfs) so losing my hair again after crashing 3 years and 2 months ago means my body is Oh so ever slowly going back to some of what it was before…
Maybe, just maybe, I will eventually be able to sleep without meds !!! Or will have to use deodorant again !
Anyway. I just wanted to share. (I’m really happy !) Plus I’ll get to look like a clown in a few years. Isn’t life full of surprise ?

My pleasure. And to be honest, my previous post didn’t look so full of wisdom. But if it means anything to you, there is progress that can be made and that’s one more proof. Of course, this thread is full of proofs progress can be made !
All the best to you my friend !

Wow, awesome news! About 3 years since you quit fin and started your diet/epigenetic repair and now you have this to add to your progress. Really happy for you and hopeful for the rest of us. Funny how I too am hoping for my hair to start receding again when losing hair was my worst nightmare 2 months ago xD You never know with life. Made my day brother. It’s a beautiful day. Thank you for sharing
Hope this counts as a recovery story and isn’t one you already listed.
Thank you for sharing !
It shows some changes but recoveries are people who are completely symptom free for a duration of at least 3 months as per my own definition (which may vary for others). Longer is better but we usually don’t hear from them after they get better. There’s been cases of 1 year recovery and then a drawback. Nonetheless, I think such cases have the ability to recover again.
Any stories that shows improvements is an inspiration.

Another recovery story focused on gut health as advised by his doctors. Looks like a full recovery. Hope this is a new story. Apologize for my grammar. I’m 7 weeks in to this and not thinking straight but wanted to share. Lots of love to everyone!

Thank you for sharing ! The more success stories,the more hope. Much appreciated.
I’m working on gut health as well. 2 tbsp of potato starch a day, a resistant starch that bacteria feeds on, and some pro-biotics to supply more bacteria. I’ve read many people are doing it with good results. My sleep has improved and so did my mood !

Bump, Any more recovery stories?
Did anyone return to 100% pre-PFS state sexually?
Hi, I recovered to 80-95% pre-pfs after 1 year and 9 months. I have been stable for 7 months now.

Hi,
I am in a very similar position to you were in.
I am now where you were seven months ago. I am one year and two months off the poison and I feel about 60 to 70% recovered.
Please tell us:
- What were some signs you were REALLY starting to recover sexually?
-Did you have penile numbness? did that reocver - are you back pre-fin erections?
this is all I need to know at this point in my journey

-Did you have penile numbness? did that reocver
During that time I could perform sex normally if I use cialis and sometimes I had spotaneous erections that I did not have before that when I realize I started to recover. At some point I just stopped cialis and my performance stayed. I has some kind of penile numbness that made me enjoy sex less than before but it gradually recovered.
- are you back pre-fin erections?
Yes basically. maybe 90 percent.

nothing just change of environment and mood. (I moved back from US to China and it was a big change for me overall). I think L-arginine helped a little.

dude that is absolutely amazing, it give me so much hope at a time of desperate need. especially because I am getting closer to the time period when you started recovering (I am 1 year 4 months in)
Sexual / Erection quality recovery is the absolute best. I simply cannot wait! I also use cialis and it does help.
How long were you on Cialis for? what was your dose and did it stay effective during the entire time you took it?
thnx
I was on it for 9-10 months? I was sexually active and could perform well 90 percent of the time. I used 5mg and it could give me strength for 3-4 days. I’m glad my story helped you. I hope you can get better soon.
Is there anyone suffering from dry lips? I know it hardly counts as a major side effect of pfs but it really bothers me even after most pfs symptoms subsided.
My lips dried up and peeled away layer by layer. This was more pronounced in the first month or so when they were constantly chapped and flaking. It still comes in phases as part of overall tissue loss…lips deflated along with my other facial features and gums. And head, feet, and everything in between really.
