Long story short, I got PFS when I upgraded from finasteride to dutasteride back in 2019. I had pretty bad symptoms to the point where I wasn't able to sleep for several days straight and my mind was all kinds of fucked up.
Upon researching my condition I stumbled upon the infamous Propeciahelp forum. After reading through a dozen threads on there I thought I was actually permanently fucked.
I was desperately looking for a way out before I accepted my fate and lo and behold, CDNuts pointed me to this forum.
It is still so crazy that CD was just a dude who had recovered from PFS and genuinely wanted to help people recover too.
Your act of kindness has literally turned around my entire life.
It's been almost 3 years now since contracting PFS.
I'm fully recovered now and have learned a ton of things about health that I otherwise never would have.
I've been Paleo ever since starting your protocol and have never felt better.
It feels great knowing the objective truth to the age-old question of what is the optimal human diet.
Not to get all religious in here but I'm also starting to believe in God again after being Agnostic for so many years.
I just can't wrap my head around me being saved from the permanent hell that is PFS.
I was literally praying for a solution and the universe gave me one in the form of CD's protocol. Like holy shit that's so crazy to me.
Anyways, it's weird to say but I'm actually so grateful to have had PFS.
Before, I was a prisoner to my own vanity about my hair. Now, I am free.
I mean, my hair is still there - not as good as when I was on Fin, but I realized that there's so much more to life than our appearances.
It's almost like the universe has called each of us to learn that lesson the hard way. But in the end it's so worth it.
Sorry for going on a rant, I meant to make this short but there's so much to say about this haha.
To the guys who are still struggling with PFS, don't give up! This procotol works 100%!
I was super skeptical at the beginning, I was like "there's no way recovering from PFS can be as simple as eating Paleo and exercising and sunning your balls" etc.
Especially when you see forums like Ray Peat and PH where guys are trying to concoct different potions to alter their hormones to fix this shit lmao.
But yea follow the protocol and stick to it and you won't just be cured - you will be a massively improved version of your previous self!
Almost like Gandalf in LOTR fought the Balrog and almost died but eventually emerged as Gandalf the White.
To CDNuts - thank you. You're an actual hero bro, no joke.
Still amazes me that there are people like that out there. I will strive to pay it forward and help advance humanity when my time comes as well.
I don't come on here very often anymore, but if anyone has any questions on the protocol or symptoms or anything, feel free to hit me up.
Anyways, thanks guys and good luck!
