We sound very similar in terms of symptoms @voice. Very weak to nonexistent orgasms are my only symptom that hasn’t improved.
That’s terrible that lawyers only take PFS cases as class action lawsuits
I’m sorry for asking such a “bad taste” question . I have always wanted to know.
When you say a low amount are we taking less then 100 grand ?

First off before I vent over this I’m sorry for every thing you have gone through
But that pisses me off!!! Like really bad
The lawyers are literally selling you out in exchange for the settlement from Merk that fills their pockets only through the class action settlement. I wouldn’t even be surprised if there is a back room deal worked out where Merks lawyers get your former attorney to agree to not bring anymore PFS lawsuits on behalf of additional PFS victims in exchange for the easy settlement that only your former lawyer benefits from. This is speculative. But it’s also smart for them. It does seem like the lawsuits in the US against Merk have been limited in spite of the relatively large amount of people who have suffered greatly.
If I ever recover and can now invest my time and energy into something else I’m going to law school so I can bring as many non class action single contingency fee cases as possibly against Merk. That’s what it will take. A loan wolf small nobody firm who does not care about money or anything other then getting cases all the way to trial.
Have you ever heard of anyone trying
Oxytocin for poor orgasm ?
I searched the forum to see how many people have tried it. It looks under explored
I have also heard before that in PFS poor orgasm may be related to problem with noradrenaline. Don’t know how tested of a theory this is though
I have bigger fishes to fry right now with a severe insomnia relapse but once I figure out how to beat this insomnia I may explore both of these paths as possibly ways to beat the poor orgasm
It apparently was on the small print that I would except the deal because my supposed lawyer just took the deal without my consent. I think it’s a good idea to pursue law and make there life hell. I think we all have different talents we can use I wrote a play but now I’m trying to write a book it’s a fiction story that is based off of a drug company. If I get it published I will mention Merck and what they did to me. It’s a long shot but if enough of us keep using are talents we can chip away at the giant known as Merck

Unfortunately, this is just how the system works. Everything regarding PFS is such a complicated situation that institutions in mainstream western society don’t really know how to deal with us. The FDA regulatory process is not properly designed to handle rare side effects, esp with the way clinical trials are conducted. PFS is a misunderstood connection and I believe we need a new scientific paradigm to develop a proper understanding for it, and the legal system has an outdated set of rules for proving causality that made it almost impossible for us to win.
We’re kind of like a small group of societal orphans that nobody knows what to do with so all systems fail us. It’s a horrible situation to be in for us, but I’ve committed to accepting that as a fact and pulling myself up by my bootstraps and returning to life as normal as best I can. In the two years since I decided to do that, my outlook on life is many times better. It will still be much harder for me than many, but its the best possible option I decided that I had once I exhausted all options I had to deal with this PFS thing in the way that I thought I was supposed to be able to.

I’ve long wondered about this myself. I imagine oxytocin is badly dysregulated in PFS patients. If not as a primary effect of PFS, but as a result of the reduced trust in everything and everyone as a result of what has happened to us.
My hunch is that exogenous supplementation may possibly help, but wouldn’t be the same as boosting endogenous production by figuring out ways to learn to trust things again through commitment of will. Strengthen your social standing and skills can absolutely affect your hormone production, reduce stress etc. which may very well have a positive impact on PFS.
