Recovery Journal

[AcesofTennis]

Hi All,

I took propecia for 4.5yrs and experienced sexual sides (ED & low libido). It’s been 7yrs for me and not much improvement, but I’m keeping at it. I’m going to use this thread as a journal for others to follow along and look back at my progress once I’m fully recovered.

I’ll list the things I did today and how I think I can improve the next day.

Today I:
-Did earthing for 20 minutes
-Took a cold-ish shower (my shower didn’t get very cold)
-I foam rolled and stretched my hips/hamstrings
-I did some “hum” breathing and 1 round if Wim Hof
-10 minutes of meditation

I have been doing these activities as much as possible for the last two months. I’ve noticed morning wood starting to come back online. It’s rather weak, like a 1-5/10. BUT, i get morning wood almost every morning now, even if it’s a 1/10 every morning that is wayy better than 0/10. So there’s something positive happening thats working for me. I went 7yrs where I was lucky to get morning wood even once a week.

I haven’t taken supplements yet for today but I will take spirulina, Maca, Cistance and cordyceps.

Tomorrow I will try to sterch/foam roll twice. I will eat more vegetables and sauerkraut as well. I will also do a heavy lifting back workout.

I’ll post again tomorrow.

No need to waste time with earthing. Other than that, good luck.

Good job with your progress so far. I would recommend doing 3 rounds of Wim Hof back to back. He has a video on YouTube with >50 million views and he personally takes you through all 3 rounds in 11 minutes.

If you have the space and money for it, you could get a chest cooler in your backyard, caulk the cracks so it’s water-tight, and get it on a timer so that it keeps the water very cold but not freezing solid. Then you could put a timer next to it and pop in for 3 - 5 minutes after your two daily Wim Hof sessions.

Edit: If you end up getting an ice chest, I think 50 Fahrenheit is probably cold enough. Also I would also have someone watching to prevent accidentally drowning, and never do Wim Hof breathing while you’re in the water. (A few people tragically drowned in their bathtubs…)
