    Why do essential amino acids make me so tired?

    I've recently added essential aminos to my diet and I find that they make me incredibly tired. Not just that they make me tired after taking them, but that they make my sleep less restful and I feel much more tired the next day also.

    Does Cialis help you guys to maintain an erection?

    Pretty straightforward question. I struggle a lot with zero libido, but can still get an erection with a girl or watching porn, as long as there is some manual stimulation. My issue in the bedroom is one in maintaining my erection once I get it. I find often I end up with a semi and it is pretty...

    Is there any evidence that taking Finasteride for a longer time period is more detrimental

    It seems like most PFS cases that I read about involve someone who took the drug for a few weeks or a few months and quit immediately. The onset of my symptoms were far more cryptic and I stayed on the medication for 4 years. Am I going to have a harder time getting back to normal than someone...

    Potassium and Magnesium Megadosing

    For the past few weeks I have been megadosing both Potassium and Magnesium. Probably around 2000mg of each per day. I have actually felt pretty good as far as mood goes, have seen a return in nocturnal erections, and a return in body hair. Libido remains at 0% however. My question is should I be...

    Question about Prolactin/Cabergoline

    This may not be the best place to ask because obviously the fact we are here means we are some of the worst of the worst PFS sufferers. With that said, I recently had a test and my prolactin came back at 22. Over the past year, three tests have all been high prolactin. My endo has prescribed...

    Nocturnal Erection Recovery

    Since I have began to supplement potassium, magnesium, vitamin D, and B-complex, I have seen a 100% recovery in my nocturnal erections for about 1-month. Unfortunately I have seen no increase in my libido or spontaneous erection function, and a possible worsening of my frequent urination...

    Opiates & PFS Side Effects

    I've recently had an accident and have been prescribed opiates for pain management. What I have noticed is a massive spike in my libido, relative to 0% libido for 2 years. I had presented my test results on here a few weeks ago which shows that I had prolactin at around 17 points. Due to the...

    Question about electrolytes

    I am currently taking potassium, magnesium citrate, and a range of B vitamins, following the electrolyte protocol. Is this the type of thing that I want to cycle or do I just keep supplementing indefinitely? I noticed at first that I was getting far more nocturnal erections. That has subsixed...

    Thoughts on my bloodwork?

    This was bloodwork that I had done in July 2017 and January 2018. I figured I would post it to get some opinions on if anything stands out as problematic. EDIT: The images are actually labelled incorrectly - "Test 1" is the more recent test

    Is it a bad idea to be taking L-Lysine

    For my entire life I have suffered from cold sores which I get nearly every month. Lysine has been an incredibly helpful supplement in this regard. I have read some things about it's effect on NO and wanted to get a more informed opinion on how it could effect my PFS.

    Frequent Urination

    Has anyone had a symptom of frequent urination? I cannot recall how long this has been going on, and it may well span beyond the 3 years I've had PFS. But, given the possible effects on the prostate, I figured I'd run it by you guys.

    Feeling low and Seeking Support

    This past weekend, and for the first time in two years, I had a girl in my room and had sex (if you could call it that). My erection was good for about 10 seconds then I could just feel it deflate and be completely half hard while I went through the motions. On top of this, I had zero sensation...

    Why do some of us develop gyno if our hormones stay in range?

    Unfortunately I've developed gynecomastia over the course of my Fin use/PFS, not exactly sure when. If my hormones have been tested and came back in range, why did this happen? Has anyone on here had gyno removed surgically?

    Masturbation and PFS

    Is it agreed upon that we should be refraining from masturbating while in recovery? If so, why is that?

    Are there any hormone/steroid therapies that have shown success for PFS libido issues?

    I know that things like TRT haven't done much of anything for PFS sufferers. Is there any evidence that stuff like caber, clomid, masteron, etc. can help at all? I suffer mostly from libido/sexual sides. I've tried the healthy eating and active route. I've tried tribulus, horny goat weed. I've...

    Is it possible that PFS makes you less attractive to women?

    I should preface this question by saying that I have had my hormonal profile tested a few times and all of my hormones came back in a normal range. Despite this, I have minor erection problems and have had absolutely zero libido/sex drive for years now. Is it possible that whatever is wrong with...

    Tianeptine and Libido

    I am not sure if anyone is familiar with a nootropic called tianeptine. I have taken it occasionally over the course of my PFS battle and I find it really restores me libido. At every other point my libido has been at 0% and it has been this way for 19 months (since I quit). Does anybody know...

    The Issue of Sweating and Body Hair

    I've noticed more and more that I don't seem to sweat much nor produce body odor. Furthermore, I have very little body hair and areas like my pubes and armpits have grown sparse. I've been to see and endo who ran labs on my whole hormonal profile including pituitary signalling. She said that...

    Question about Androgen Insensitivity

    Is there any truth to the fact that PFS symptoms are a cause of the body no longer responding to androgens. This would certainly make sense. I recently had my hormonal profile tested and my Test level was quite high (800 ng/dl). If this is true, then what do the protocols on here that suggest...
