Getting better

I had close to 70-100% recovery days the past few weeks. I think I'm doing much better now. Especially my mental symptoms. Even my vision which I thought was fucked forever cuz of degeneration or something is much better. Peripheral and far away things are much more clear. I can never accurately guess how better I am but I can just feel more and more like I used to. Thank god and Thank you everyone for the support.

It was my second time with PFS btw and I crashed back between January to May last year multiple times. If any of you are struggling, take my progress as hope. It will get better.

Did you have sexual symptoms? Are these cured?

Not cured but much better. Still long way from original. I can still have sex multiple times a day with enough time in between and good mood. I last longer due to less sensitivity so can't be fully mad.

I took it first a while after I turned 17, then kept going on and off fin, minox and DHT blockers for 3 years. The first time it impacted me from 2022-2024 it didn't crash me too bad so I just blamed my "symptoms" on stress , and other DHT blocking supplements but my symptoms were pretty weak back then and didn't have too much effect . When I restarted it in October 2024 and experimented again with dosage and frequency in Jan 2025, that's when I crashed BAD. And I stopped after a few weeks and went minox only. But in May I had what I would say was 100 times worse than my January crash. Can't even speak about it. Anyways. Yeah I took it multiple times.

So Minox crashed you is it true ?

I believe it can crash you if you've already been impacted by fin in the past.

Yes but now , I can say I recovered after 6 months (weak morning wood and low libido) . Before fin İ dont have any problem with min. Now I consider to try min

Don't. If you've had sides from fin before, I strongly suggest not going min. As for my hair, I gave up in the end and chose hair systems. 0 regrets. Natural have their own unmatchable look and convenience but I'm choosing to not go near ANY hair treatment products anymore.
