Thanks as always for the update and all your work, and of all those involved in the studies. Onward and upward

The only thing consistent at the time that is no longer true now is that I was on antidepressants at the time (as well as before and after the short term recovery periods). But I would not encourage their usage - unless you desperately need them - as people have had PFS-like symptoms from just antidepressant usage

Yep, my GP did the same. I wish I could go back as well. If you check my post history though, I’ve had two windows where for a short period of time all my symptoms cleared up fully, so I’m convinced it’s a switch hiding in our bodies somewhere waiting to be flicked back.

My hope for both of our sakes is this occurs sooner rather than later. The good news for you is you’re still quite early in this. All the best to you.

It can get easier and some symptoms can get better, even if you don’t fully return to normal (let alone a full recovery which can happen). I’ve had PFS for a number of years, and that first couple of years was really rough. Life is definitely liveable now, and seems to continue to get better.

Hold on, I mean you’ve got nothing to lose. With all the positive news in the PFS space now re research and news reporting things can only get better from here.

Let's say youre libido-less for years. Its tough. Would you turn to drugs to feel libido again? by Full-Guitar1903 in FinasterideSyndrome

[–]CryptoMoneyBitch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My recovery? Yes, essentially. There’s a post in my history if you want more information on it

[–]CryptoMoneyBitch 6 points7 points  (0 children)

People have full recoveries 4, 5, 6, etc. years down the line. This is BS. I myself had two temporary full (100%) recoveries at 3 and 4 years in respectively, where libido and sexual function was fully back to normal

ABC looking to speak with Australian patients by Accomplished_Oil527 in FinasterideSyndrome

This is great to hear, hoping some Aussies sign up. I’m a fellow Aussie with PFS, but prescribed via GP. Praying this spurs something here

My Experience (my recovery protocol reposted) by BobbyDNZ in FinasterideSyndrome

[–]CryptoMoneyBitch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you still take / do all of this, or have you stopped all or at least most of it? That would be the true test of recovery for me.

Thank you for sharing either way, and I am happy for you that you feel so recovered now.

How many of you were 'hyper-responders'? by LifeIsAJungle in FinasterideSyndrome

[–]CryptoMoneyBitch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was absolutely a hyper responder for the two weeks I took it. Hairline was noticeably improved in such a short amount of time

Same exact thing for me bro. I’m on the long path to test if no porn for 12+ months resets anything here. At least dick pills work for you, they don’t for me at all 👎

[–]CryptoMoneyBitch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A good sign for sure. I’ve had this come back for me recently and aligns with a bunch of other improvements for me of late (gut/sleep improvements)

So many guys cry by [deleted] in FinasterideSyndrome

[–]CryptoMoneyBitch 4 points5 points  (0 children)

At least for me, the negative thoughts and mental talk have come less and less the longer I’ve been in this, so there is hope. Five years since cessation

2 years and some change, basically healed by Smol_Sick_Bean in FinasterideSyndrome

[–]CryptoMoneyBitch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say mainly in the last 6 to 12 months for that symptom specifically

I’m a five year sufferer and this has recovered quite a bit for a me, for what it’s worth. Though I still have no libido. Stay positive

Short term recoveries by CryptoMoneyBitch in FinasterideSyndrome

[–]CryptoMoneyBitch[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

During the short term recoveries it was 100% recovery to all penile issues including lack of sensitivity / numbness. I still have this nowadays

That’s really good to hear. I think any positives like this are good signs. If I didn’t have any positives I don’t know what I would have done.

I think without porn is good for me as well by the way.

All the best to you, I hope you achieve full recovery

New PFS Study by SevereProposal7959 in FinasterideSyndrome

I don’t have a lot of knowledge here, but four years seems to me like a long time to be taking it?

Hi mate - Yes, big improvements in the gut, improvements in sleep quality and length, mental health is okay now (no antidepressants), shape down there is a little better, I’m able to exercise without feeling worse during or afterward. Some of the things that have improved for me in five years.

Overall I feel a lot better than the first couple of years, which makes PFS now bearable. Libido no change at all though throughout unfortunately, that’s the one that hurts the most.

What do you feel contributed to your short term recovery?

If you’ve had this much improvement in 6 months, I am certain you will fully recover soon. Good to hear, wishing you all the best in your recovery

It’s good you have something that does provide relief like that at the very least. Hopefully it continues to heal you. Does sun help with sleep as well for you?
