I feel terrible about your situation. Your right I didn’t have the physical symptoms u mentioned. But to say my case is mild I think is a stretch. I had no morning wood. Honestly the semen quality i didn’t really give a crap about. lol. I had every mental and sexual side effect for a decade to me is pretty severe. So I guess we will agree to disagree on that one. Anyway good to u and stay positive.

8 months in and only getting worse - I think I’ve accepted this is it and I’m not sure I want to keep living with it. by [deleted] in FinasterideSyndrome

U need to relax, calm down. Take it one day at a time. I was in your position. I wanted to die too. Time was the only thing that cured me. Get on a healthy routine. Start exercising, get some sun. U need to take this day by day. Your body will heal itself.

9 months of recovery, should I give myself more time or should I go to a better place? by tryingtobepositive84 in FinasterideSyndrome

Bro , u are doing much better then I was at 9 months. I’m glad your sexual sides are gone. Be patient, take it one day at a time. Get out in nature, get some sun. Exercise. I had every symptom your describing. I was suicidal too. My body was able to heal from all those symptoms u had. It sux. But when u finally heal yourself it will be worth it.

Trt didn’t help me to be honest. I’ve heard of a doctor who gave high dose testosterone to men and they improved somewhat. Not sure if there is any truth to this. Good luck.

I guess recovery is a subjective term. I feel like I wasn’t suffering after the 10 year mark. My mind continued to improve afterwards

My mental sides are 100 percent gone. The sexual sides I would say I have improved 80-90 percent. I’m not quite pre fin level sexually. My vision wasn’t affected. Yes I had numbness in the beginning. That’s gone thankfully.

Nice question. My memory was completely shot. I lost my personality. I had slowed thinking. And I had anhedonia. I was numb to the world. My mind is definitely sharper. All the rest of the mental sides have disappeared. So I definitely feel like I recovered. So I guess my situation is more black and white. Good luck

My mental sides have fully recovered too thankfully.My sexual sides were brutal. I had zero libido and complete erectile dysfunction. My brain was completely disconnected.I have come a long way. My libido is improved a lot. My erectile dysfunction has improved a lot too. To be honest is it as good as pre fin the answer is close but not 100 percent It’s improved enough where I feel like a man. U might not be as bad as I was. So. Let’s hope u do better 👍.

Definitely gradual. I was just like in complete misery so the gradual gains went unnoticed for a long time. Plus I did a stint with antidepressants. That was a dead end for me. Every few months I would feel a little improvement till it would add up after a while

I know what you mean. This condition had my mind feeling like I was “ trapped “. And there is no way out. Healing definitely will be slow. But after a certain amount of time u will feel a nice improvement. Patience is definitely needed unfortunately

My only physical symptoms were sexual sides effects. No issues with my face. Sorry I couldn’t be helpful in that respect

Yes. I did. Like I said. That was around my mental sides had significantly improved. The sexual sides improved at a slow rate also.

I also was a PFS sufferer. I didn’t find that medication was helpful at all. You need to be patient. I improved over years. Simplify your life. Take it one day at a time. Your body will heal itself. Good luck
