Welcome, @azazel !
I’m sorry that you’re in this situation. It’s still fairly early though - the fact that some symptoms are beginning to resolve is a good sign. If you’re able to take good care of yourself, and avoid stress (if you don’t like your job, can you cut down on the hours?), you might see further improvements in the months ahead.
Hello finaduta,
I did it!
Hello M_C,
Thank you for your kindness towards me.
I try to take care of myself. I exercise a lot. I try to eat relatively healthy. I’m going to see a naturopath and the most famous andrologist in France soon.
I’m trying to get through it, as we all are.
Thanks again!
Hello
sorry for you to go through all this,
for me after 19 months things are improving a little and I believe that one day I will recover but I don’t know when;
seen that you can do sport it’s already good, try to improve your quality of life (diet, no stress, no alcohol, ec…),
on the other hand I live in France also if you find an andrologist can help us let me know;
take care
Great to hear! Keep us posted!
Bonjour,
Je vais te répondre en Français alors.
Il s’agit du docteur VIRAG. Le médecin qui a invité le viagra.
La consultation est très chère en revanche…
c’est le docteur Ronald Virag au 8 éme arrondissement, ou autre?
Yes, it seems to me that it is Dr. Virag from the 8th district of Paris.
merci,oui je vois que la consultation est 150e! est ce que tu sais s’il a déja traité des cas comme nous ?
Yes, I know he has dealt with cases like ours before. However, I’m not sure he can help us.
Doctors can prescribe drugs that deal with the symptoms, but they don’t know what’s really going on with PFS.
Many of them have their own pet theories though!
Bonjour M_C, Bonjour à tous,
The last 3 weeks of June were both special and common. After that dull moment, I had a period where I was relatively excited. As usual, it didn’t last long. Always less than a week. However, it was not followed by a mini-crash. I am in a moment where, I am in a low range (between 20% and 40%) and my condition fluctuates not only from day to day but also from hour to hour. I can feel very low now, and feel things more intensely and have sexual desire (even if it remains low) 1 hour later. When I’m in a good period, I tend to think “yes, it’s good, but I’m nowhere near the way I was before taking the medication.” It’s only when I find myself in a dull period - which has become the norm - that I think, “finally, I can live very well on a daily basis in this high moment even if it’s not like it was before.”
I feel like my penis is doing better most of the time. It too, fluctuates in condition but I feel it is improving. The touch and shape seems more normal than a few months ago.
Finally, I also feel like I am feeling things more, anger, joy, hunger, thirst etc. Again, this fluctuates from day to day, hour to hour, but I feel that the trend is up.
I did some hormone tests yesterday. I will have the results in 2 weeks. I will come back to you to keep you informed.
Small update. As I had announced, I had hormone tests. I got a part of it. Everything seems normal except for the progesterone. It tripled in 4.5 months. It was 1ng, it went up to 3ng, which is twice the normal maximum level. I don’t know how to explain it. I didn’t do anything special during those 5 months except taking vitamin D because I had a huge deficiency.
I will post all the results when they are in my possession.
Anecdote:
I had sex very recently. I hadn’t had one in over a year.
When I knew I was going to have it, I was clearly excited, as I was before. During the act, it was like before taking Finasteride. This doesn’t mean that I don’t have any symptoms anymore, on the contrary, I have difficulty feeling desire for women, even if my eyes are always attracted to her, only, visibly, when it comes to taking action, everything is fine.
I wanted you to know that
Sounds great
I’m pretty sure in my case it would be nowhere near my usual experience before taking the drug.
So, was it completely like before Finasteride? Except for some decreased libido?
Have you ever experienced sensitivity issues?
I felt like when I knew I was going to have sex, I was as excited as I was before I took the Finasteride. During the act, it was pleasant, I had a good feeling and I was excited. Did I feel exactly the same as before Finasteride, I can’t say, but at worst, it was very close to it.
Hello to all,
I hope you are feeling better.
A little update on the month of July:
Positive points:
Negative points:
I am almost 8 months since my first crash.
While I was optimistic and keeping my spirits high, learning that my hormones, which were fine on paper a few months ago, are totally out of whack, has affected me.
I hope you are all doing better.
All the best.
Similar case to you and same time. 8 months in pfs and I had two blood tests one in January and one in May. In between then my testosterone dropped from 801 to 487 ngdl or 27.8 to 16.9 in the other metric. Worst off the doctor was supposed to test my free testosterone but didn’t.
Symptoms sexually the same as you but my neurological symptoms are what will drive me to end it. Headpressure and headaches, vision, problems, tinnitus, twitching, brainfog, can’t think
Tried them all. Unfortunately cognitive problems have no real cure and I’ve seen no real change. I reckon I’m a goner and lord the things I’d do to be in your shoes.
I’ve more stabilised my best advice is to live healthily, take certain supplements, sauna, cold showers. I feel you will get better over the years. Just as long as you are comfortable.
