    Massive hairloss - increased scalp sensitivity to hair loss? Possible (crazy) solution

    just realized which version of RU you meant- ( thanks for the heads up mnk) no, what ultimately gave me PFS was lipogaine's topical combination of 5ar1/2 blockers in their minox. I took fin in the past and developed nasty sides pretty quick, so I stopped. like a lot of people, it was after...

    Massive hairloss - increased scalp sensitivity to hair loss? Possible (crazy) solution

    amino/mineral route seems to have just increased hair loss even more, but with the benefit of decreasing all other negative sides as well. could be unrelated, but it's worth looking into some more. ghk-cu is interesting, been thinking about using a topical with derma rolling. I normalized my...

    Reverse penile fibrosis and testicular shrinkage

    so I wanted to update everyone on some fibrosis remedies that will work for us from the research I've done (sorry, can't be bothered for links atm, you're gonna have to look it up on your own until I have some time to dig again. I'm gonna start collecting links for my write up when I post my...

    Massive hairloss - increased scalp sensitivity to hair loss? Possible (crazy) solution

    Hello, now that I'm out of my "PFS-State" my hair loss has returned, of course it is expected that you'd be on track to lose the hair you would've had, but the hair I lose every day is just absurd, even pre Anti androgen usage. A normal day of hair loss before taking AA's to control it, I...

    Rid's Log (return to Pre-PFS State and the final stretch)

    wanted to update people on a recent rec from @mattyb - he suggested beet juicing, and it has been working phenomenally. lots of good in juicing as many of you know- you should all be doing it. beet juices, coupled with a few other anti inflam ingreds I've been using, have really restored me...

    Rid's Log (return to Pre-PFS State and the final stretch)

    I've had pfs since october 2016. I had penile numbness, and what was worse was coldness. It's almost completely back to normal. especially these last few weeks.

    Chi PFS RECOVERY DIET

    definitely think there's a component, especially considering that our HPA (thyroid plays a big part in regulation) axis is messed up after our initial fin crash, and it gets damaged every time we crash, which just prolongs our recovery. I know my symptoms, and many others, were pretty similar to...

    Article Posted About PFS by VICE

    Apologies, didn't mean to sound like I said you weren't free from your struggle canari, I think just about everyone here has an "invisible illness" or at least an illness that isn't yet understood by western medicine (therefore it doesn't exist in their books, fuckers.) PFS, CFS, PSSD, PAS, etc...

    Article Posted About PFS by VICE

    damn that's disheartening... my computer told me it was more recent for some reason. thanks for the correction. I expect it to be quite a struggle to get more mainstream acceptance until we can really narrow down the underlying causes and issues going on. I see the point the guy's making, even...

    Article Posted About PFS by VICE

    Not sure if anyone saw this article from vice, but I think it's important for the community: The Medical Mystery Behind America's Best-Selling Hair-loss Drug It talks about the men who have commited suicide from PFS and the 1,400+ that are bringing merck to court. It's really awful that so...

    Chi PFS RECOVERY DIET

    I am one of the people who does very well on low carbs and have very bad reactions to fluctuations of my blood sugar. I seriously believe PFS, at least in some cases, are some form of insulin resistance. the symptoms and even the research behind what 5ar inhibs do would support this. My...

    ZINC FINGER THEORY DISCUSSION for PFS - 2 cases

    exactly the same here... I get especially red when I binge or eat a lot of carbs, I've noticed that my redness has come back with my libido (maybe just test rising to baseline?) and my oilyness is directly related to it. Hist + cyst might be helping that, but the biggest thing for me is control...

    ZINC FINGER THEORY DISCUSSION for PFS - 2 cases

    question: I've been taking 500mg cys + hist for the last few weeks and have gotten some pretty great improvements on top of the "normalization" my body has gone through over the last few months. I'm noticing my results are starting to wax and wane and I'm just curious how long someone would rec...

    NITRIC OXIDE - Viagra, Arginine, Lysine Discussion

    @gbolduev @mattyb what about low dose cialis comparatively? from the research I've done, it's much better to actually get blood to the genitals and use something that is very mild (5mg cialis EOD) to get that blood flow, libido and sensitivity back, especially if the theory regarding penile...

    Rid's Log (return to Pre-PFS State and the final stretch)

    yeah, in my experience I'd say go lower dose, and when you start feeling better, give yourself a little time and dose again. personally, my anxiety has gone through patterns of being in and out of control, it definitely spiraled to the worst it's ever been at the start of all this, and it was...

    struggle with maintaining a healthy foundation for a more recovery focused life. routine is hard for me too, i'm a very in the moment, spontaneous kind of person. i'm on the US east coast, but have lived on both for many years, yourself?

    Rid's Log (return to Pre-PFS State and the final stretch)

    appreciate it ghost, been following your journey for most of this year after finding you on reddit way back. I believe low dose is key with lic root, I was taking around 1/4 a tsp, which may have even been a little much to start as it would start to crash me if I wasn't careful the next day. It...

    Rid's Log (return to Pre-PFS State and the final stretch)

    I think this is one of the more important things simply because it's often so hard to do with our busy modern lives. Most aren't fortunate enough to be able to restart their lives and focus on a healthy foundation like this. I'm fortunate enough that I am but I still struggle with this. I...
