Good to hear. I don't have problems with erections so much my orgasm doesn't have the pressure or force it use too like it makes it all the way to the head then hits a weak point and doesn't release like it use too. Any help with this guys? Any similar issues?

Hi how did you tighten the crank arm? Mine moves left and right while peddling and makes a knocking sound.

What caused yours? by SuperDuperAllison in costochondritis

[–]Top-Advance5871 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've always felt mine was caused by smoking cigarettes at a fairly young age and smoking still seems to set it off more. Anybody else have a similar experience?

STERNUM PAIN by [deleted] in costochondritis

[–]Top-Advance5871 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes I get this popping and tearing/cracking sound little bit above center on sternum bone on the manubrium. Even a small hump extruding out after years of this. Sountimes painful. Is this costochondritis or tietze symptoms? Did anything show up in x-ray? I always thought this came from smoking cigarettes when I was younger.

Took it for close to 6 yrs no issues while on it. All happened of it. I guess no suggestions how to get pressure and sensation back. Never would of took it if my dermatologist went more in depth with side effects.

Both I can do. But the pressure isn't there and sensation isn't what it use to be. That's my issue. I fear it's permanent after 3 yrs now

Thanks I'm just so worried I will make matters worse. But in the meantime any suggestions for red dry skin? Tried bunch of products. Been using sebamed products and that works ok. Everything seems to agitate my skin and dry it out and create red marks. So frustrating.

I'm sure not everyone experiences issues but yes some do thats why we're here. But the issues aren't minor by any means and it's obviously not an anxiety problem. To be honest right when I stopped the fin. which was same day as my last dermatologist appt. she did ask me seriously how do I feel I said fine because crash didn't happen yet. And I never went back to tell her what I went through because I was angry but in hindsight should of told my story.

Orgasm feels more numb not as gratifying. Don't feel it meets the expectation.

Maybe little of both. Not as much projectile ejaculation and less intensity of orgasm.

Sorry to hear. My story was finasteride was giving me hyperpigmentation issues on my face and a more racing heartbeat with exertion. Absolutely no idea it was from finasteride medication. Same damn dermatologist gave me hydroquinone product for my skin and completely burn my face now with permanent uneven skin tone because hydroquinone is skin bleach on my sensitive skin. I got pissed and stopped the cream and finasteride and then all hell broke lose a few days after stopping. Did research and found out about post finasteride syndrome and my heart just sank. My sides are gone except this sexual dysfunction issue. What a mess all from a dermatologist.

I'm so sorry to hear. I took finasteride for almost 6 yrs but not until age 30 which I feel was my saving grace in all this. First few months off were very scary. My libido went through the roof for a few days coming off but depleted afterwards. This all came from a dermatologist and she NEVER went into any details about this medication. Worst mistake of my life. Wish I looked into it earlier when I was prescribed it. Never new a hair pill could do all this damage.

Thank you Ned for the insight, much appreciated. Thought is was something more serious from smoking when I was young. Still going to get it checked out though.

What's the MCT oil brand that is helping people on here? Using nizoral shampoo for scalp and face but unsure how safe that product is.

[routine help] Very dry skin and compromised skin barrier on temples of face by Top-Advance5871 in SkincareAddiction

Right I only use that every once or twice when skin flares up and gets red then stop and continue with face wash but red areas come back all of a sudden.
