I get this sort of thing Bryce. it just creeps up on you and ruins everything that you are doing, even if it is just watching TV.
I am not joking when i say that we really are going though hell, i actually can’t think of much worse than this. I am starting to feel very bitter about the whole situation. It’s a good job i didn’t get it off a doctor because i would probably have killed them by now. I would happily torture and kill the people that put this drug out there knowing it can do this to people.
I was reading stories earlier on the thyroid madness website about people that lost everything because of thyroid problems and low testosterone etc. Families turning against them because of scum bag doctors, losing there jobs, losing there driving license. It’s probably me in a few years.
Just want to revisit this to see if there are any new anecdotes of temporary recoveries, and what may have caused them.
I’m still so confused as to why I had a week long recovery when I went through a week believing that it was mentally induced. I’m curious to hear of others’ temp recoveries.
Also, how do these temp recoveries fit into the theory of altered genetics?
I too believe this problem is mostly mental. I have had several semi-recoveries and my head is the most clear during those stretches. When I overdid weed one night, my anxiety came back full force and my penis was the smallest I have seen it, period. Depression and anxiety don’t account for everything, but a very large part I believe. I think the brain dictates a lot more of this than we realize. Quite honestly, it’s scary. I really wonder if there are anti-depressants I could be taking that would help me out.
I believe it has to do with the anti-bodies. As soon as your body is recovering, probably producing DHT it senses it and then shoots off anti-bodies to combat it and that is why you go back to PFS. We are stuck in an endless negative loop.
And if you read a lot of the stories in this thread you see that many people feel a brief recovery after a stressful situation. Thus, stress increases cortisol probably gets the DHT and test going, so a little brief recovery and then it can not maintain it or for some reason anti-bodies come out and back to PFS.
I seem to be in a cycle of recovery and then returning symptoms.
I’m logging my sleep, diet and sexual activity.
Can others do the same? Once you’ve logged enough days we might be able to find some patterns to encourage more good days. I use a notes app on my phone. It takes seconds every day.
