I would also like to pass on some news about how im going.
I’m doing my honors in uni, and my stress levels are through the roof. I actually cry sometimes i get so agitated about having to do uni. I have a mountain of work to do its awful. The stress i go through is a combination of a) hating uni and my course b) low motivation and c) propecia effects. I cant handle stress at the moment, and im sure its because of propecia to some extent. I feel like my thyroid is being affected. Im fatigued, have heart tachycardias occasionally, im getting a few grey hairs, diahorrea, feeling confused etc. I feel an apathy that is often all encompassing, i wonder if i should be alive anymore. I also have been binge eating like crazy, and not putting on any weight.
Recently, in the last 3 or so months my sexual sides have been getting better. Mainly in the area of feeling downstairs. I feel like there is a pressure down there, like an ache, and it actually makes me horny to an extent. Also, ive had a few orgasms that were through the roof and felt wonderful, masturbation feels better now.
Strangely though as contradictory as it sounds, i now have this small amount of hope. I actually don’t think i will ever be quite the same, but i have this odd feeling my sexual sides are going to sort themselves out. Things are slowly getting better, and i’m almost at the stage i recon i could put myself back in the game again. Having a nice feeling when you are masturbating seems to create a feedback loop to your arousal system that gets it going.
My nice feeling downstairs started when i masturbated softly. Its kind of embarrassing to say, but i did it with my thumb and pointing finger, almost like a baby? It would take me like 30-40 mins to arrive at orgasm this way, but my god, it felt amazing like a full penis orgasm?? Then, ever since doing that things have been improving.
The only thing i wonder is if the extreme stress i’m going through hasn’t elevated my hormones enough to give me some relief from sexual sides. I will only know after November if things are really improving when uni is all over. My hunch though is i’m on the mend. I was on propecia for 11 years so if i can get some relief there is hope for us all.
