Day 6: mood and outlook positive
Last night had the dullest orgasm in a while, but I’m not gonna worry about it unless it happens consistently.
Today woke up with erection and felt a little libido surge doing yoga.

Special coffee around 9
mineral water
2pm: 2 eggs, ground beef, ghee, spinach, chicken, mayo, sauerkraut, cheese

Sprained my wrist a while back so I haven’t been able to lift or bike as much.
Genitals hanging more normally. Tomorrow I’ll take a day off coffee. It’s a great pickmeup and way to get some healthy fats but I don’t want a caffeine addiction.

Tinnitus has made a bit of a comeback which is a little disappointing and penis is more shriveled today. There’s gonna be fluctuations and I have to be patient. I’m gonna keep going with low carbs high fats.

#81

Reintroduced some carbs and tinnitus chilled out. I still plan to keep it high meats, high veggies, low carbs, moderate fats, but I think if tinnitus vanished for as long as it did just to reappear when I go on a restrictive diet, that can’t be a good sign so I’ll keep it less restrictive. I’ll aim for less than 50 carbs a day.

Don’t want to speak hastily, but I think my baseline might have improved. Not doing anything special right now, but my erections have been consistently good, some response to visual stimuli and generally higher libido as of late. And my semen looks how it did prefin. I am feeling really hopeful.

#83

Great to hear.

Thats all i want back my visual libido and ability to get 100% hard from it. Literally all i ask for

Hey I came back to hopefully give someone some hope. Over the past several months I had been relying on tadalifil and sometimes amino acids to be confident in the bedroom. I randomly stopped altogether and noticed I really didn’t need them. It’s been a few weeks now since then and I’m still doing well as far as libido and erections. Not perfect sexually, my penis will still look shriveled when flaccid sometimes, and erections aren’t quite as quick as prefin, semen quality fluctuates quite a bit, etc. but I am thrilled at the improvement and to not be so dependent on a pill. Since I was on tadalifil all the time prior, I can’t really track exactly when this improvement happened. Nor can I attribute it to anything in my behavior because I haven’t been doing anything special, just using tadalifil as a crutch and forgetting about it and hoping. My urologist said that sometimes just being on tadalifil for a few months can mysteriously help ED even after you’re off it, by maybe repairing blood vessels or something. He didn’t really know. I called bull when I heard it, but maybe that’s what happened. I don’t know.
Otherwise, I’ve been trying to meditate recently, not for PFS necessarily but it could contribute? And I’m still pretty active. I bike, swim, play basketball. No dieting aside from trying to incorporate more mushrooms and probiotics. No supplements.
My sexual improvements did come at a price. My sleep has been cut short a little. I now wake up around 7 without fail, which is kind of annoying, but I’m hoping that resolves itself. This change coincided with my noticing my sexual improvements.
I know this post isn’t super helpful because this happened out of the blue, but if nothing else I hope it gives someone hope. As I told another member on here, I am well past a year off fin and I am still seeing improvements and fluctuations.

Best

When u started meditation u were already good? And how about libido?

#86

Like I said, I can’t really pinpoint when the improvements happened because of the tadalifil variable. But meditation and getting your parasympathetic nervous system going can’t hurt. I’ve been inconsistent with it, only a few times a week. Libido is pretty good. I respond better to visual stimuli and want to have sex more often. Not the raging libido of prefin but I’m happy about it. A couple times, I’ve fantasized while meditating and have been able to get it up

Yeah this is probably true. There’s evidence for it in the literature.

It upregulates VEGF (growth factor for angiogenesis). And can also upregulate eNOS expression.

It’s been showed that using PDE5I together with dutasteride will conserve this pathways. But I also recently read a study it can work when the pathways are already downregulated.

I’m very happy for you that you’re feeling better! I’ll hold my thumbs you’ll see even more improvements in the future.

I would also like to use cialis, but I’m to afraid of ototoxicty. As I need good hearing to keep the license for my work.

#88

Interesting, I had no idea. I was hesitant to use it too, and used less than was prescribed, but saw no obvious adverse side effects fortunately. Could be something to try for others whose main concerns are sexual. Bummer that you can’t give it a go. Thank you for the kind words. And best of luck to you too.

How are you now well shoot?

#90

Hey bro I hope your doing good. How are you feeling?

#91

hey, I’m doing well, thanks.

I had a downswing for a second brought on, I think, by stress and/or pesticide? I recently went through a rough patch with my partner, and a roommate got bed bugs so I had some harsh pesticide sprayed all through the house three different times, not to mention the stress from having bed bugs. So insomnia came back, digestive issues, even tinnitus which hadn’t made an appearance for quite some time. Shit sucked for a little bit, but I made a speedy recovery back to normal (the new normal anyway) and I feel pretty good right now. Bowel movements feel really good too right now, which is new lol. I can’t speak on sexual stuff too much, because I did decide to get back on tadalifil until the bottle’s finished, but I will let you know how that goes.

Best.

Hi, glad to hear you’re doing better. I was just wondering what your Tadailifil prescription was? What mg and how often? Thanks

#93

5mg daily, which I don’t do. I take 10mg only as needed and try to do that as little as possible and never more than once a week.

#95

In January I got COVID and with that came some digestive issues that have yet to totally resolve themselves still. I had gotten to a point where I could eat pretty much what I wanted without issue, but now my gut is easily irritated again. Not much else to report.

#96

I feel you. I also got hit with Covid last month. Worsened my PFS-related symptoms as well and have also yet to resolve. Take care!

#97

Oof sorry to hear that. Hoping you see some relief soon. What symptoms did it worsen?
I’ve decided to go carnivore because I think that’s how I managed to heal my digestive issues in the past. Day 4 and it’s rough withdrawing from sugar, but my stool has been more normal and no stomach issues. Looking forward to being over the hump. I’ve committed to a full 45 days at least.

#98

Day 5: Feel proper sated for the first time since starting. My penis is hanging nicely and nocturnal erections are back. I’m feeling very grateful because I think I’m nearly over the initial hump. I should note that I’m still drinking coffee. I’ve been adding a pat of Kerrygold butter to it. I also love how cut my body looks after shedding water and probably fat, but I can’t really afford to lose any more weight. I’m pretty skinny as is. Might even ride this through to Easter Sunday if all goes well. Who knows.

Something else I’ve noticed is sleep seems to have improved. I think? I wake up and feel totally floored. Before I could be alert pretty soon after waking, but now I wake up and my bed feels incredible and I don’t want to leave. That’s how I remember prefin being so I’m happy about it haha.
