Can someone please name the tests Dr.WillPowers recommends. Dont just say blood test, and sequencing. Tell me what type of blood tests what should it include, any specific sequencing package? Dutch is just the Dutch test I believe so nothing special there, unless there are different types.
After seeing the videos and reading the theory it sounds very good and explains alot of things that happen with the disease. My one question is, if the theory suggest one has a build up of weak metabolites because of blocking 5ar but then we come off but out 5ar is still not working or how Dr.WillPowers phrased it, out body became selective of which metabolites to use, shouldn't we still keep seeing very low Dht? Cause this is not the case for me at all, my dht is actually quite high now which would definitely suggest my 5ar is doing something. So my question is what is the explanation for that, and would someone with high Dht but still having all these symptoms, would that mean I have just epigenetic silencing? That part has me very confused.
I know Dr.WillPowers recommended a couple of tests in order to gather data, I wanna get them done. Can you guys tell me which those are and where you got them from. Once I get them done I will make a detailed post with the results and my story on finasteride, if the theory is correct we should eventually be able to diagnose the pfs phenotype just by symptoms and when/how you got pfs.
I think it's almost over for me, idk how much mote I can take. 24 y.o. Male got pfs at 22. When I first crashed I had brainfog, penile fibrosis, all the sexual symptoms etc. Fast forward 2 years pretty much nothing has changed. The penile fibrosis and pelvic floor pain got alot better, brain fog went away after 2 weeks of quitting fin. That being said, libido, orgasm sensation, gut issues lack of dopamine that causes me to be able to enjoy music is all there. Ive been trying thing to get better but nothing helps. At this point I would rather you guys tell me suspected cures or protocols and I can do then and report back, idc what happens to me anymore I just wanna get better so im willing to try anything.
