Hey. I heard that propecia may damage the immune system.
So in blood test i got low wbc below the low range and low vitamin d.
What is it mean maybe my liver is’nt good?
Almost everybody here has low Vit D. My Vit D is very low. It definitely is an indication.
What is wbc?
Thanks for explaining.
White blood cell count, I’d guess. Those two issues may not be directly related. Vit D receptor gene is part of the receptor super family of genes so it’s not inconcievable there might be an issue there since they have found a problem with the AR. Just a guess. As all these guys know here, 5AR is expressed in liver tissue so who knows what sort of damage has been done there. Probably should go easy on your liver from here out. Another reason why you probably want to steer clear of alcohol.
I also have below range white blood cells and vitamin D. I have had both tested 3 times.
What can we do about it?
Johnson, To be politically correct this is speculation on our part at the moment. There are no proven studies that this is what it has done. I personally do believe it has effected our immune systems though.
There are a lot of us that have a low white blood cell count. This is indicative that our bodies are trying to fight off a serious high grade infection. Even this, could even be a symptom of a larger problem. We just don’t know.
The low Vit D is also very common with guys who have taken this drug. A large majority of us have Thyroid & Adrenal gland issues now. Vitamin D is very commonly low in people who have Thyriod issues.
And don’t forget there are many different kinds of speculation. There’s the kind based on the microbiological investigations of PFS by research institutions considering known mechanisms of Finasteride, the clinical presentation of PFS, common denominators (such as low vid d, low 3 adiol g) and the kind that’s not. For me personally I just know that an infection didn’t cause my penis to shrink overnight.
