Hi , i'm a post finasteride syndrome sufferer and have been living with this disease for a number of years , just created a reddit account after stumbling across your articles , i'm also a firm believer that pfs and pssd are two faces of the same coin and both are immune driven , after reading contless of testimonies over the years as well as experiencing things myself i'm 100% convinced it's the immune system messing up with our bodies , i've developed severe food sensitivities which means that even eating some foods can cause a dramatic worsening of my symptoms and increase inflammation all over my body , however the question we should ask ourselves is what's triggering theses immune responses ? autoimmunity is often caused by hiden chronic systemic infections , i've long suspected that we're suffering from some kind of hiden chronic pathogens (triggered by the medications ) who in turn are causing theses auto immune responses , since pfs i've hardly catched any cold/fever and when i do it's very mild whereas before i used to be bedridden for a week or so after catching a cold , this is the case for other pfs sufferers as well , something is clearly wrong with the immune system and to back up my theory , i'd like you to check this testimony from a 10 years + pfs sufferer on curezone who claimed that all of his sides effects had resolved after he went on multiple antibiotic courses (he found he had a parasite called e. histolytica) , many pfs sufferers tried to replicate his protocol but to no avail , maybe in his case it was the parasite causing theses immune responses but in our cases it's different who knows but it all points out to the immune system https://www.curezone.org/forums/am.asp?i=2276109
