The Examiner: latest vicitm an aspiring school teacher...

General Discussion Media & Awareness
#1

Just came across this – the latest PFS victim profile from John Peige at The Examiner:

examiner.com/article/propeci … es?cid=rss

Glad to see that Peige mentioned the Post-Finasteride Syndrome Foundation and the progress it’s making.

And whoever this Matthew Garner is, I give him his props for joining the ranks of men who are sharing their Propecia nightmares with the media. He makes some compelling points:

“Merck CEO Kenneth Frazier may choose to bury his head in the sand while his public relations minions claim that Propecia is safe and effective. But certainly at least one of the company’s 86,000 employees—or one of their friends or relatives—took Propecia and had long-term adverse reactions.”

a typical after effect, taken from the above link

“A week after I stopped, those side effects resolved themselves,” says Garner (whose prescription records were reviewed by The Examiner). “But then I crashed a few days later. All my original side effects—and more—returned with a vengeance.”

and what lack of responsibility, also lack of justice

Merck has not responded to repeated requests by The Examiner for comment on Propecia’s role in causing persistent side effects in men who have quit the drug. Nor has the company, to The Examiner’s knowledge, done anything to help its thousands of customers whose physical and mental health have been devastated by the drug.

great article, very, very sad, he sounds like a nice person, but it speaks loud and clear about how this drug destroys our world …

any yes, KEN FRAZIER does hide his head in the sand, but we cannot rest until we bring he and his minions to justice

DOWN GOES FRAZIER, DOWN GOES FRAZIER !!!

At least Vitamin D, Prazosin, and a healthy diet have helped him…

and by him, I mean me.

Thanks for the kind words, guys. I wanted to help in any way I could.

#7

Thanks brainbug and lennon, I’m just glad to be of assistance.

#8

Great job Domino! So glad to see other symptoms such as dry skin etc being highlighted! You come across just like many of us, young, ambitious, energetic and destroyed by this drug. Also can’t help but notice you have a full head of hair which furthers my theory of what happened to all of us

#9

Not all of us have full heads of hair; I, for one, do not.

Nice job, Domino. You’ve done everyone here a service.

#10

Clampdown, full bald or diffused thinning ?

#11

My hair had been slowly, gradually thinning in an even, symmetrical, male pattern baldness pattern for about seven years before I took finasteride and developed PFS. I had probably lost 50 percent of my hair, I’d estimate.
