I echo this sentiment. In fact, at this point I would probably still say most of my problems are caused by severe health anxiety, and not necessarily “PFS”. It runs in the family too as my mother had a yearlong battle with the same kind of shit because she was convinced she had cancer (she didn’t). You could look at the protocol as some sort of therapy, giving something to focus all that restless energy on.
I’m going to go even further here and say something controversial like: a lot of people that have PFS are probably dealing with health anxiety too. Severe chronic anxiety just covers so many of the symptoms, even decreased allopregnanolone levels. Stress can fuck you up so much that you need some kind of healthy regimen to being your body back to homeostasis.
