As i go to sleep tonight, i am in disbelief of how much my body has changed inside and out, from head to toe. Too many things to list here are ruined because of this cosmetic medication. I know my attitude is negative right now but im disgusted at this. I keep asking myself when this nightmare will end. Some mornings i actually laugh at how rediculous my situation is. Its so fucked up that i just laugh. Look at everyone else living normal lives. I, at twenty three, start my adult life not with hope for the future, but with a life sentence of a shitty quality of life. 9 pills of FUCKING RAT POISON PROPECIA!!! Someone needs to pay for this. I cant even sleep in peace. Life is one big meaningless fucking joke now. Fuck it all.
it truly is unbelievable. I understand leaving finasteride on the market for those with prostate problems (you can make a risk/reward argument), but the FDA turning its head when there are thousands of reports of continued and persistent sexual, physical, and mental problems from propecia is down right disgusting. What should shock them is people having side effects OFF the fucking medication!! People who were completely fine on the drug, and now have problems. There head in the sand is a disgrace. Those who had knowledge, have knowledge, or should have had knowledge of what this drug can do I curse for eternity.
hey man, this will be my second christmas with some seriously hardcore pfs, and i can totally relate to how you are feeling, especially at a time like this … there was a board member who made a post around christmas last year that really changed my frame of mind in dealing with this dog shit illness … he said he was driving home from work and had to stop for gas if i recall, and he saw a young man who had a very serious physical abnormality, though i do not remember what exactly, and it did make me realize that it can always be worse, and that sadly there are many people who have to fight through some very tough things in their lives … i try to go out of my way now to count my blessings instead of all of the bad things, because i am lucky in a lot of way because i have a roof over my head and i dont go hungry like so many others out there do etc. etc. … i know this is shit bro, but go out of your way to count your blessings, because it could be much worse, and i really do feel that you will make some improvements as time passes … just try to stay positive, count your blessings, take care of yourself and do not “wallow in the pit of despair” so to speak because it will not help … we are here for you man, just stay positive because the future will only be brighter, without any doubt! stay strong, good things will come your way
Yes i hear you. I have good days, and i have bad. Yesterday was extreemely bad.
Many of us do. I wouldn’t say I have good days thou because I don’t really have days like that. I have ok days and I have days where I want nothing more than this nightmare to be over anyway possible.
Scared, I was thinking the same thing as you while lying awake last night, it’s really hard when you never know what the next day (or sometimes hour) will bring. I find myself thinking, “Oh, now THIS is happening to me??” all the time. Holidays can be a tough time but hang in there!! You are really young and have not been off the poison for all that long (if I am reading your profile correctly), so you still may very well recover. Stay positive and just think what a godsend this group is! 20 years ago we would all be isolated in our suffering. At least now we can help each other out. I know for me the forum is great on sleepless, anxious nights. When everything else fails I try meditation, yoga, even praying (and I was never religious in the past). I wish you a speedy recovery.
I would say using Fin/Saw Palmetto is the legal murder. If you want to revenge on your someone just convince him to take theses shits and you will never be charged legally after destroying his life or forcing him to take his own life.What a joke our legal system is. you slap any one and you will be behind the bars but you destroy lives of thousands of innocent youngsters but no Police will ever touch you.
Thanks faded. And sp i know what you mean. I dont expect much from society or legal system.
Another note, why does my hair look shitty? Not that im worried about hair, but its just one more thing thats fucked up now. It almost looks like fake hair or something. I cant even grow it i keep shaving .
mine were healthy and thick now they are curly and very thin. I read the same about Accutane users. I can say for sure DHT and hair loss is a big lie. It is BS. there is no relation whatsoever. Just to sell their snake oil the whole story was fabricated. I know many in their 60ties and 70ties with full head and still sexually active. Now by Merck’r theory these people should be impotent since they have full head that means DHT is not working in these people. What Fin/SP does is slow down your body metabolism and you stop shedding hair.
My face looks like death. I havent even drank alcohol once in two months. Trying to stay sober. But still i look/feel like hell
To believe last Christmas I was completely fine. I can’t even eat what i want right now. It’s unbelievable how such a small thing can destroy lives, not even a poison does this.
a mass protest would be awesome so long as we can count on each other to show up and be prepared to finish the job … second ammendment did awesome, we should all join forces and follow in his footsteps … a mass protest would get the word out, no doubt … who knows, maybe some very rich or athlete celeb sees us and decides to donate to our cause … it could happen guys
Agreed.
Im waiting for a celebrity to get on propecia, get fucked over, and raise hell over it.
this is really very good idea. Do one protest in few cities of in USA then in Canada then in UK etc each protest one week apart. Even if few guys show up that can draw the attention and will send a very strong message to general public, Celebrities, Media and after all Merck.
We should hold a informal convention somewhere.
Groups dissolve quickly without leadership. In this case, someone would have to become the leader through action rather than appointment.
Check out the 1995 Proscar warning label. It says side effects USUALLY resolve upon discontinuation.
If symptoms persist, they usually resolve upon
discontinuing ‘Proscar’.
