Oscar could it not just be be that the resultant effects of fin (elevated estrogen, androgen depriviation etc) has upset an extremely delicate balance in our hormones?
I truly believe this.
This explains everything in my opinion.
It explains why some people suffer more than others and why some people have different complications that others. Because our bodies experience a massive chain of reactions to this imbalanced hormones.
Our hormonal balances have been evolutionarily perfected over millions of years. Its no surprise that many of us experience havoc when weâve distorted them. Most of us have no baselines. Most of us also have experienced a long term chain reaction which is always going ot be difficult to reverse.
You mention JN (or whoever that guy is that has tried everything) but this only testifies what im saying.
It also explains why people have âups and downsâ. Its because their levels just arent right so theyâre erratic.
My personal opinion? Is that alot of us have suffered damage over a sustained period of time (either by being on fin for many months or years or since going of it). The body is a great healer but it would take a long period of time for it to fix itself.
This also explains why people naturally heal
Of course, many donât naturally heal.
IMO here - these people need drug assistance. I know i am simplifying this because everyoneâs levels are going to be different as a result, but my E2 levels are high - something that causes everything really.
What do i need to do? Use arimidex is mega-small doses for a long period of time to drive down my E2 levels (very carefully) and condition my body towards it T/E sweet spot. When i can reach this (give or take), from here my body will slowly and surely undo most of the damage that will have happened.
The problem is most of us have went down extremely complicated paths in that their hormones are now so over the place its almost impossible to tell what kind of âconditioningâ one needs. I do think however, even in the most complicated of instances, if a PFS sufferer can try attain good T/E levels over a prolonged period of time they will see their system slowly recuperate naturally. I mean, how many people on here have actually taken a systematic approach of trying to maintain a stable perceived T/E sweet/spot (and hopefully optimum DHT, SHBG levels) for a sustained period of time mapping this out with say, biweekly bloods? No one? Isnât that strange considering most of our HARM has came from a sustained amount of time with unbalanced hormones? How are we really giving our bodies a chance to heal if we either leave our hormones in their messed up state or, almost worse, just mess about with them? The body needs stability to self-correct.
What JN does is has things coming from all angles in his body⌠What are the chances of him getting all these levels right by this cocktail of drugs? Remote at best. And even more remote that he will have any realistic chance of maintaining any desirable levels. Indeed, alot of these drugs have made the likes of him experience short term ârecoveryâ but in reality theyâve just compensated for the problems via artifically elevated/downregulating something that was potentially unconnected to fin in the first place. Which is why a long term recovery is unlikely
I suppose this approach is outside the realms of people who have developed thyroid problems of course although they would also do well in correcting levels as well as address their thyroid
Over all, sounds simplistic but our bodies are smarter than us we need to help it with a basic approach and condition and tweak where necessary. Longevity might just be the key.
Iâll be keeping everyone updated on my journey.
