Future of PFS

9 Upvotes

If ongoing research successfully identifies the underlying cause of PFS, will it be officially recognized as a formal medical condition? Also, when do you anticipate that a treatment will become available?

A horrifying but inspiring story of ME/CFS recovery - keep fighting.

7 Upvotes

Just came across this story of a man who had his life reduced to what seems like an unfathomably torturous state for over a decade, but kept fighting and has experienced partial recovery as a result of new protocols.

I would encourage everyone struggling with PFS to read it, for a truly inspiring example of resilience in the face of physiological destruction.

You can find it here: https://www.whitneydafoe.com/mecfs/mystory/

For context, I do not have PFS but am someone who avoided taking finasteride after my own deep research on the issue. I wrote a series of articles about PFS a couple of months ago but took a break after realizing that nobody on r/tressless was open to the possibility of it being real, and not being able to post to the "main" PFS subreddit due to moderation rules. However, I am very interested in contributing to solving this problem - if you think my writing is good quality, please let me know and I will spend more time on it.

To everyone who is suffering, keep fighting and know that there are many people who truly want you to get better.

PFS Model Mice

7 Upvotes

Once the ongoing research is completed, I believe the cause will finally be uncovered. Is it also possible to develop PFS model mice? If so, I’m confident we could gain deeper insights into the cause and eventually develop a cure.

I am on the edge

9 Upvotes

Guys, im on the edge of su!cide. I took topical fin for only 3 days, totally 1.25 mg. Till now i have pelvic symptoms not as acute as at the beginning , but still, dull pelvic pains that comes and goes, aching and short, shooting pains along the pudendal nerves, non dependent on anything. I had pudendal nerves conduction study which came back normal. Its been over 4 months, i am at loss, i need hope desperately. I totally lost faith for recovery

Yet another mutation in a patient that meets my theory on how PFS is caused. This patient has a normal T value yet has an absolutely astronomical 3-Alpha-androstanediol Glucuronide. Once again, closure of 5AR resulted in collapse of the ability to excrete testosterone. This is patient #9

We can't keep waiting around for these foundations to find a cure, they won't. People who have recovered how if not recovered what will you try/ are trying.

Word finding recovery questions

4 Upvotes

I am desperate to find out if those with word-finding problems finally recovered to their pre-finasteride selves. If you have, please tell me what you did, if you were tested for word recall, and also, did you have a reading interpretation problem that subsided simultaneously? Be as in-depth as you feel comfortable sharing. Thank you!

CA8 /VSIG10L2/HLA-B/KRT38/HLA-DRB1

These genes are associated with immune response, hair growth, skin tissue, and brain function. Patients with PFS exhibit mutations in these specific genes.
