It has only been 9-10 days and I’m aware that PFS is defined as symptoms which persist for 3 months after quitting, and in honour of this, I’m not going to post on this forum again until August (if my symptoms still persist then).
I’m just facing unbearable mental anguish right now, I’ve been through a lot in life and nothing possibly compares to what I’m feeling right now. I feel like a dead man walking and the thought that this could be permanent is driving me crazy.
I have noticed some slight improvements, I’m getting 90% nocturnal/morning erections but during the day absolutely nothing, my libido is still absolutely 0 and my testicles hang low and cold like a rooster’s wattles (sorry for the details. I feel like a castrate and at 21 this is the worst possible feeling I’ve experienced, this is a fate worse than death.
I just want to know what are my chances? Is it likely that I do have PFS or is it more probable that I just have regular side effects which will resolve soon? I’ve always been somewhat of a hypochondriac and I’m seeking an objective opinion.
p.s. my symptoms are a result of topical SP (and topical minoxidil) though I was microneedling meanwhile which could have caused it to go systemic.
