[Guest guest]

Hi, I just wanted to share a full sexual recovery story from the Propecia help

forum.

I am copying and pasting from this link:

A full discussion follows.

He confirms that he recovered from total genital numbness and a list of life

wrecking symptoms.

His story is below.

There is hope!

" Hello all, I hope everyone is doing well, at least as well as they can with

this god awful disease.

I just want to report that I have made full sexual recovery. All that is

remaining is residual brain fog, which is improving monthly. If all continues at

this rate, I should be mentally recovered by June/July. Also, I have been fully

sexually recovered since October give or take, and I have been med/supp free.

Given the many false recoveries, I have decided to wait these 4 months, because

we all know that PFS can easily come back. So far, it has not come back.

Just a little background:

I had all the side effects, everything. Here is a list I had to make for legal.

HOW DID SYMPTOMS START?

In 5/04, intermittent at first and then gradually increasing, the first symptoms

were:

• stuttering

• word slurring

• word searching

• word confusion

• poor memory

• word hesitation

• change in handwriting (signature)

• digestive issues: indigestion, belching, flatulence, constipation & feces were

small dark brown and pellet sized

• bloating in the lower abdomen

• testicular pain

• bloody stools

• intermittent anal itch

• heart palpations

• shortness of breath

• extreme thirst

• minor food cravings

HOW DID SYMPTOMS PROGRESS?

Developing around 10/04: All previous symptoms increased in severity with the

addition:

• poor libido

• erectile dysfunction

• decreased ejaculate volume w/ clumpy sperm

• loss of erectile sensitivity

• acne

• rosacea-like skin

• wrinkling of skin on the hands and around the eyes

• blurry vision

• nail beds began to fan out

• sensitivity to light

• frothy urine

• frequent burning urination

• insomnia

• depression/anxiety/suicidal thoughts

• extreme lower back pain especially when laying down

• headaches beginning to develop in sleep

• stopped up ears

• earwax build-up

• ringing in ears

• white tongue

• extreme fatigue

• increase in breast tissue (similar to a female's breast)

• dry lips

• weight gain

• ridges in finger nails, finger nails no longer smooth, but ridged

HONEYMOON PERIOD:

I stopped taking Propecia 12/04, within 6 weeks, all symptoms subsided. I

started Propecia again around 6/05. The symptoms resurfaced around 10/05 with

the same severity as before.

HOW DID THEY PROGRESS?

Symptoms remained constant until 5/06 when present symptoms increased in

severity with the addition of muscle wastage and sensitive teeth.

HONEYMOON PERIOD II:

In 6/06, I stopped taking Propecia again, within 8 weeks all symptoms

disappeared. I started taking Propecia again around 11/06 and in about 2 months

the symptoms slowly started emerging again with a general increase in severity

continuing to increase in severity up to cessation of Propecia in 6/08

..

HOW DID SYMPTOMS PROGRESS

At 8 weeks post Propecia, symptoms resolved to about 75%. At 12 weeks, most

symptoms returned with more severity than ever before especially severe acne and

rosacea-like appearance.

New additional symptoms surfaced:

• penile shrinkage with a sort of hardening of the tissue

• rounding of face/chin

WHAT I DID

Now, I'm going to tell you what I did, and I understand it may be controversial,

and a few will want to challenge it saying I never had " real " PFS, etc. To that,

I'm going to say up front that I will not respond, and I will leave that debate

to the more able and those among you who spend all day studying the " science " . I

only cared about what worked, and more specifically, what worked for me. You can

speak about hormone regulation, genome theory, etc. Don't ask me any of those

questions because I DON'T KNOW.

My theory is basically that the drug weakened our liver and gut, they couldn't

process properly, detox, whatever, then bile flow stopped, we got constipated,

infection grew, the immune system became stressed, metal may have built up for

some, and we never recovered. We are at differing degrees of compromise. Once

again, is this right? I don't know. Is it wrong? I don't know. Did I recover

treating this angle and theory? – Yes. You can argue the details.

Let me preface my recovery protocol with this – I DO NOT remember the exact

dates, amounts, etc. It has been a year or so long process and I don't recall to

the last detail the dosing, times, etc. With that I will give you the basic

outline of what I did. Oh, also, I have previously tried everything under the

sun except TRT. You name it, I either have it, or have tried it pretty much.

Ok, so what did I do?

1. I had a very strict diet – I started with a 10 day fast (only water

basically). I then eased into kefir and yogurt. I eventually started to add

veggies and some chicken breast. No Carbs! I had this diet for about 4-6 months.

I also started juicing, and I noticed that it helped a lot. After about 4-6

months I started adding some things like once a week sushi ( I know rice carbs,

but it was only once a week). I stayed with this diet up to around middle of

August.

2. What supps did I take? – I started taking TONS of digestive enzymes with

everything I ate. I also took them periodically throughout the day on an empty

stomach. Not just one or two – I took 8-20!! With every meal! My reasoning? – I

didn't want ANY undigested food sitting around in my gut. I also started taking

TONS of probiotics. Also at this time I started taking Wobenzyme, but after

about two months I stopped because I felt it wasn't helping.

3. What Meds did I take? – NYSTATIN! – I started out with the liquid taking 3

teaspoons a day, Again, let me reiterate, I don't remember how I graduated the

exact dosing, so don't ask please. After about a week I notice it was really

helping. After about 3-4 weeks of use I regained nocturnals. So what did I do?

Yup, I doubled the dose to 6 teaspoons a day, then up to 9, topping out around

12-15. It was great and I continued to see improvements. I was now getting

mornings. So, continuing with my logic, I eventually was able to source the

nystatin tabs (don't ask where I got it from) and I started taking 3 tabs a day

with the liquid. I eventually worked up to 12-15 tabs a day plus 12-15 teaspoons

liquid. I eventually stopped the liquid and just stayed on tabs as I felt they

were more effective. Then I got a script for Diflucan and started rotating that.

I would take 600-1000MG for a couple of days, then take a month or so off. I

didn't want to tax the liver too much. I continued this from March/April to

around the middle of August give or take. I also cycled Phellostatin at 3 pills

3 times a day with the Diflucan. I would also stay on it a week or two after

cycling off the Diflucan, though I didn't always do that. There was no set

pattern here. I took Lufenuron – whole bags at a time for a week on, a week off,

and just cycle it. I also took it periodically. Again, no set pattern.

4. So life was going good, then I hit a break through – I started using these

Chinese herbs. http://www.chinamedcure.com/ What did these herbs do? Well, they

really hurt my stomach. I was shitting all the time (5+ times a day) and was

very fatigued. They also made my erections near perfect after about 4-6weeks

use. Libido was almost normal as well.

5. Colloidal Silver – I took 16oz a day for a month or so, and then went down to

8oz a day.

6. Diatomaceous Earth – The heaping teaspoon three times a day. This helped as

well, and it also improved my mental faculties.

7. Black walnut, wormwood, cloves – I took this cocktail in the morning, 14 days

on, 14 days off.

Supp/Med Summary:

1. Digestive enzymes with every meal.

2. Probiotics before every meal

3. Two Nystatin tabs upon waking, 2 at 10am, 2 at noon, 2 at 4, 2 at 8, 2 before

bed

4. Diflucan – 600-1000mg 4-6 days on, take 30-45 days off. Repeat

5. Phellostatin – I took three pills three times a day. I took it normal when I

took the Diflucan, but I also took it without the Diflucan as well. It is herbal

based.

6. Lufenuron – was intermittent and was not present during recovery section,

though it could have played a part. I took an entire pack a day for a week, then

took a week off. The dosing was not always consistent.

7. Colloidal Silver – 8oz in morning, 8oz before bed. After about 6 weeks I went

to just 8oz before bed.

8. Diatomaceous Earth – 1 heaping teaspoon in morning, afternoon, evening.

9. Black Walnut Hull, Wormwood, Clove Tinctures – all in the morning. Make a

cocktail of it and drink it down. Use dosing listed on the bottles.

What brand of supps did I use?

1. Digestive Enzymes – MRM Digest All and Enzymedica Digest Gold – Yes I used

both simultaneously.

Great, now that is my supps and meds, now I'll provide a little timeline so you

could see what I did. I recovered right around the end of September early

October.

11/10 – Started fast, new diet, started wobenzyme

12/10 - introduced nystatin liquid, still new diet, still wobenzyme

1/11 – Still on diet and nystatin liquid, stopped wobenzyme, starting getting

good nocturnals

2/11 – Still on diet and have upped nystatin, great nocturnals and returns of

morning

3/11 – still on diet, got nystatin tabs, tried some Diflucan, started banging

again. Granted, it was difficult, but was able to work.

4/11 - Same as 3/11 added Lufenuron and Phellostatin – more banging libido

improving.

5/11 - Same as 4/11 – sexual improvements continue, erection quicker and easier

to obtain.

6/11 – Same as 5/11 but started Chinese Herbs – almost normal erections, libido

improved further. Alsp, around this time I started taking more liberties with my

diet – hamburger, tacos, not much, but a little.

7/11 – Same as 6/11, added DE, Black Walnut, Wormwood, Cloves and Colloidal

Silver – WHOA! Big break through this month. Sexually almost normal.

8/11 – Same as 7/11, kept going, pretty much normal.

9/11 – Same as 8/11 – had eye surgery, stop taking all supps/meds 2-3 weeks post

op I recovered. I have not taken any supps/meds since. Actually, I'm kinda

nervous to try anything.

10/11-present sexually recovered, working on remaining brain fog, which has

improved

immensely. My diet has been pretty normal. I can eat anything and no changes in

health.

FAQs

Ok, I'm going to answer a few quick questions I know you all have. Being a

member for this board for years, I know the common questions. Basically, I can

only tell you what I did, not what you should do.

1. Hey IHP bro, can I take supplement such and such instead of the one you took?

– I don't know, can you? I'm not sure if it will work the same. I can only tell

you what I did.

2. Hey IHP bro, can I take different dosing from what you did? – I don't know,

try it. I can only tell you what I did.

3. IHP bro, can I try this other med instead of what you used? They are supposed

to " do " the same things in theory – I DON'T KNOW. I can only tell you what I

did.

4. IHP bro, I just read a cool article/study/doctor told me that I should try

such and such, can I do that with your reg? – I DON'T KNOW!!! I only know what I

did. You can give it a try I guess.

5. Hey IHP bro, I was thinking that you take too much of such and such, can I

change the dose? – I DON'T FREAKING KNOW!! I only know what I did.

6. Hey IHP bro, I have been doing such and such, do you think I can throw your

reg on top? – I DON'T KNOW!! Give it a shot.

7. Hey IHP bro, can you tell me in detail when your erections came back, how did

they feel, etc? – Look, I didn't write all this down in detail – my dick works

great.

8. Hey IHP bro, just how bad was symptom such and such? – Look, they were ALL

BAD!! I'm not getting into details of every single one. I was VERY sick. I know

what PFS is.

9. Hey IHP bro, I don't understand how a 5ar inhibitor caused infection. I mean

look, there are numerous studies all showing how it affects hormones, don't you

think it was that? Or a genetic change? Or something else? – Look, I DON'T

KNOW!!!! I used to read studies, theories, abstracts as well. NONE of it worked

for me – the end. I don't give 2-shits about freakin theory anymore. I know what

got me better- THE END.

10. Hey IHP bro, do you have hormone tests? I always read about hormones, and

the testing, and I really have to see some numbers. I mean, I " don't " know if

you are recovered. We really need some testing. Can you post your tests? What

was your T? etc, etc. – Look, I have TONS of testings..TOOONNSSS. I'm not

posting it or outlining it. I will say this, at my worst E was 60, T was around

410, and DHT was 8. I'm now around E at 31, T at 824, DHT 57. I'm not going

through my records to post hormones. I didn't treat the hormone angel. I

recovered from doing what I did above, not stupid hormones. I believe hormones

are a symptoms of the body being sick. When it became sick it down regulated

their production in order to provide energy, whatever, to critical systems such

as the heart, etc. Once again, is this right? I don't know! Also, I don't really

care about the theory at this potin. Just saying. Still have love for all the

theory freak though. I used to be one.

11.Hey IHP Bro, I have tried one of your supps/meds and I didn't work. What

should I do? - Dude, I DONT KNOW! Did you try all of them simultaneously? What

about diet? I'm not going to entertain this questions beyond what I put here. I

dont know! I listed everything I did that allowed me to recover.

12. Hey IHP bro, can I send you a ton of emails and ask you to be my

coach/medical assistant and beat this thing? – NO. If you have a pertinent

question, then ask it in the thread. Since recovery I have had tons of energy,

working like crazy and enjoying my returned life. Dude – I GOT MY LIFE BACK! I

don't really think about PFS anymore. Now, the board was like an extended family

for me, and you all my brothers, and that is why I'm here. I'm doing my service

to the family and reporting my recovery. I will make it a point to visit from

time to time to answer questions publicly on the thread. "
