Hello guys,

I used finasteride from the beginning of 2014 till the spring of 2015. Only symptom I had was decreased libido and erectile strength, nothing at all apart from these and got crazy hair regrowth.
What was strange that my libido did not return after stopping fin at spring, my lowish libido stayed till the middle of summer but still not even a single problem was present. My libido started to come back after I went on a holiday to Italy in the end of july 2015. I had a lot of sunshine there, was doing nofap that time and my libido was increasing back. After the holiday I came home and crashed. Horrible brain fog, fatigue, depersonalization, dead dick, slurry speech, etc I had them all.

Fast forward two years I finished dentistry school and I had time to start a serious fast now. (During the 2 years I had temporary recoveries from aromatase inhibitor, from 5ari substances like tomato juice and coconut oil but always crashed with ejaculation and these improvements never stayed.)
I stopped caring about one pill cures and copying miracle recoveries and decided to get as good health as its possible and do the protocol which everyone improves on. I accepted that life gave me this and I need to do my best out of it regardless of the outcome. Of course I want to recover but life is not a wishlist.

I started a water fast on the 8th of july and finished it on the 18th morning when I drank some juice. Currently I am on juicing and plan to do it for 3 days altogether before I eat some well cooked veggies and high water content fruits. The water fast was a challange, first 5 days I was just laying and trying to survive but I knew I am not going to die as people do fasts for 30 days so it was more of a mind game. The juice fasting is ridiculously easy compared to the water fast imo. I lost 10 kgs during the water fast 81.5->71.5 and my height is 180 cm (5.11)

I ordered some herbs so I will have:

Tongkat
Tribulus (have worldabs and mediherb brands)
He shou wu
Magnolia bark (lift mode)
Pine pollen powder and extract
Shilajit resin
Cordyceps militaris
Schisandra

Im gonna go for paleo diet first then adding some cottage cheese, greek yoghurt, sour cream and cheese as I really like these things. We will see how I react. I also want to add normal potatos and white rice.

Will do some body weight exercises before I return to the gym. Working out and sports was my life pre pfs.
Now I learned that muscles, hair and looks are not everything. I want to build a life, work as a dentist, eat healthy food, have healthy relationships (more time with my family) and working out is gonna be a part of it but not as big part as before.
This pfs teaches a lot of things. I will stop going to other forums as its not good to constantly browse them. Here the mentality is good and you do not need to understand every mechanism why things work, its just health optimization.

Good luck to us,
Freeflow
