So I have been off any and all supplements lately, while trying to get bloods and hair test and start back at it this summer. The only thing I have added the last few weeks is Bethaine HCL and it dramatically improves all of my symptoms. Is there any reason why? I'm talking the anxiety, brain...

Hi All - Finally got my hairtest completed and would love your thoughts, especially those that have done the TEI tests @m_arch , I believe you mentioned you had some experience there. It looks like I am a slow oxidizer and have a lot of calcium and low magnesium. Any other suggestions would be...

I looked at this and saw that 50mg would be a 5AR inhibitor, but 10-15 mg increases.

Thanks fellas, I'd imagine once I get my hair test back and labs back, I'd be able to have a better picture and try to get out of this mess? Is it possible to decrease DHT to get to an optimal level?

Damn, I just realized that this second wave, crash, excess DHT, whatever you want to call it came about the same time I started using 5a-DHP.... does anything think this may have caused it?

Thanks! I’ll look into it

Yeah, I’ve thought about looking at low dose zinc and cycling that. Although, I don’t really like the idea of playing with Fire.

I’m almost positive it’s a 5AR Inhibitor, based on the way it made me feel but I’m not sure the mechanisms of its success are noted. I can look into it and see if I can find anything.

@TubZy @mattyb @gbolduev @bruschi11 @Canari @Orion @joekool Have y’all seen anything similar to this? An oversensitivity or uptick of the AR receptors causing new issues after a recovery? I’ve tried searching the site and others like sovlepfs and there are a handful, with those being authored...

I really appreciate all the help man! I agree, I don’t know if those channels mean the same as the minerals we’re talking about either. It’s just so frustrating going back and forth on this. Hell, I’d honestly stay on zinc if it wasn’t for the constipation and insomina. I should get my hair test...

This seems really strange, right? Both zinc and minoxidil also caused me to drop ~6lbs overnight. Same with magnesium citrate.

Even any hints as to where I should focus my research would be greatly appreciated. Zinc and minoxidil! Like the swelling in my neck goes down almost immediately to where my neck is normal and no nerve damage. Any help as to channels that could cause this would be fantastic.

Hi all. As the thread says, I’ve tried two 5AR inhibitors over the last couple of weeks, both unintentionally - didn’t know they were inhibitors but what I’m curious about is why these have made me feel better mentally (brain pressure goes down, as does neck pressure and brain fog). Hell, I’d...

You are the man! Thank you so much.

Thanks, it’s just annoying that it and minoxidil have provided the best results and are probably the worst for me.

Oh, good to hear! I was just going based off what I saw that ARL provided and the sample report from TEI. I'll hold all judgment till I get my document back.

I got to say, I really love this forum. Had a buddy that is on here and SolvePFS reach out after seeing my thread. He said I wasn't alone and there are some guys with similar siutations, albete they seem a bit more severe than the normal PFS. That is fine, I am going to work towards defeating...

Ok fellas, could really use some help here as I am completely baffled and at wits end - it has become harder and harder to function and live each day. I'm honestly at a worse place mentally than I was when I first started this PFS journey, any help on how to start is greatly appreciated. I have...

I should've done ARL, I don't think TEI provides the same level of detail. Dammit.

Thanks! One thing I should also note is that when I have sex, right as I finish, i get tingling on the same side and in the same general area as where I am having these issues. Very weird, can't tell if it is nerve related or what.
