The 3 Stages to my Recovery from 5 AR Inhibitors (PFS)

Unread postby tigerbloodforever » Sun Jul 15, 2018 11:40 pm

Check out my website to see the stages to my recovery.

I am currently nearing the end of stage 2.

My mood, sleep, sexual functioning has greatly improved from the beginning of my recovery.

Can you specify in your title that this is from Propecia and PFS? We appreciate your progress update but this isn't exactly related to a PSSD recovery. There are way more PFS recoveries and stories of improvements with propecia than there are for PSSD.

Thanks for posting this! Looks like you've put a lot of work into the site.

I've added (PFS) to your title so people know that it's a PFS recovery.

Because of the similarities to PSSD, I think it's worth it for someone to look over this. I'll take a peek at your site.

Keep us updated!

Thanks Ghost, i have been keeping records of everything that i have done and charting the progress as i go.

I have seen a guy's story who took Accutane, his name is Lamme, check out his post from April 7 2017, it is about half way down the page.

https://www.acne.org/messageboard/profi ... ost&page=2

He lists all his symptoms and outlines what he did to recover. His story is identical to mine, heating up his kidneys daily by going to a sauna, semen retention ( no ejaculations or limiting them ), a couple of T shots, exercise , nutritional balancing program which includes meditation.

Also check out the article on the Rxisk website on Accutane where they say that the problem with Accutane closely resembles the PFS and PSSD guys.

https://rxisk.org/accutane-30-years-of- ... ment-19185

If someone who took Accutane, had all the same issues as me who took a 5ar inhibitor and has recovered by doing the exact same treatment program as me, then it is highly likely that the PSSD guys will respond in the same way.

There are way to many similarities in both the symptoms and the recovery program of this guy who took Accutane and me who took Saw Palmetto ( 5ar inhibitor ) to ignore.

If this is a symptom of yours, go get hormones measured, namely LH and FSH.

I don't want to disappoint you, but in stage 1 if you take testosterone shots ir will of course raise your testosterone levels, but it will algo supress the natural production, worsening the hormonal imbalance that you are trying to fix. It's a good idea only if you want to take testosterone shots for the rest of your life, and if you don't mind being azoospermic.

No testicular atrophy at all. Part of my program is reducing ejaculations to 2 times a month so as to build up my own hormones which have been depleted by this condition. Basically the gas tank is empty, it is a form of sexual exhaustion. You slowly fill it up and restore your body by building up your own hormones and allowing them to be absorbed into the body. If anything my testicles feel full.

You are correct about long term use of T shots shutting down natural production of testosterone in the body, but i am only talking about 2 shots to correct the imbalance and that is all.

You can read in my story on my website that i actually corrected the imbalance by taking viagra for 4 days straight under my urologist's advice and masturbating as long as i could each day without ejaculating. This is actually what corrected the imbalance and stopped the endocrine crashes. I built up a large supply of testosterone in a short space of time and i believe that this is what is required to correct the now estrogen dominant reproductive system and correct the imbalance and stop the endocrine crashes from happening.

Same results can be achieved with maybe a single T shot or 2. The T shots are easier than taking viagra ( half tablet daily ) for 4 days and literally masturbating for a total of about 7 hours over the 4 days without ejaculating so i could build up a huge supply of my own testosterone to correct the imbalance.

When i had the reaction from 5 ar inhibitors, there was total impotence, no morning wood, daytime or any time. All the while estrogen is being produced in my testes daily with no testosterone to counteract it. This is where i believe the problem stems from in the beginning. Men produce both estrogen and testosterone daily and the more dominant testosterone production keeps the smaller amount of estrogen in check. But when the testosterone completely stops due to a bad reaction to medication or in my case supplement, the estrogen keeps growing and growing. This needs to be corrected first before everything else.

After the viagra for 4 days straight i took 2 shots as well, got a boost from the first shot ( good morning wood day after ) but the second one did nothing and made me feel weird so that was my total T shot regimen.

I believe that you can correct the imbalance and stop the endocrine crashes either way, it just is an easier option to take 1 or maybe 2 at most T shots.

I believe that the endocrine crashes are the big factor in terms of making this recovery a very long difficult process, the 3 or 4 crashes are literally the reason why my slow recovery has taken me years so far.

I would encourage everyone with PSSD, PFS and also the Accutane guys to just get a couple of T shots before you start anything as a precaution because if you are still in the crashing stage and you do not get a T shot or 2 , you could have more endocrine crashes which will just dump more estrogen into your body that has to be cleared first, before you go on to the final stage of this recovery.

I am not a doctor but i really do not think that 1 or 2 shots of T will shut down your body's ability to naturally produce T and i recommend you ask one yourself if you are worried about this.

A doctor is far more likely to prescribe clomiphene and anastrazole/aromasin to raise free test and lower estrogen before giving test shots. Especially at a young age.
