    Need help with dehydration and ED

    Hey all, asking for ideas and thoughts on what could be going on with me.

    I've been on this forum for a year now, it has been a place of great support and help to get out of hell caused by Minoxidil. You guys are amazing and special thanks to CD

    A backstory of this. Started the protocol with a 3day fast a year ago from now in January 2022. Worth noting I went for 100% of it - lifting weights 3 days a week, Paleo diet, herbs, supplements, cold showers, breathing, ultra hard cycle.

    I was truly getting better for the first half the year. My performance and sex drive was up, mood and confidence got better, I was able to sleep 6-8hours per day and did not have panic attacks.

    Then I started getting gut issues in June 2022. After a couple months of struggling with it and being extremely bloated every dayfrom any food, my gastro doctor found gastritus that was treated with antibiotics for a few weeks. As I cured gastritus, the discomfort was gone and I have never felt so much better.

    After this I have had a month of October of a really good upswing. I was confident talking to girls, enjoying work, just generally having euphoric feeling going through life. You know what I am talking about.

    This is where the problem begins. After October, things really took turn and I jumped into the downswing I have never able to get out of, regardless of still strictly doing 100% protocol non-stop. Here are my general symptoms now:

    Constant dehydration for no reason
    I drink two gallons of water per day and I am still always thirsty
    My urine changed color from being watery to yellow, which indicates some dehydration going on internally
    My skin and lips always dry and cracking
    Regular minox crash downswing symptoms but not as bad as a year ago
    ED
    Limp veiny penis
    No morning wood
    More moody
    Hard to smile and feel positive
    Interesting notices
    After trying alcohol once or twice in half a year - it makes me horny and makes my penis hard like Viagra does not do that to me- alcohol did not do that before
    I started feeling alcohol and feeling euphoric with it, it wasn't like that before.

    Definitely not consuming alcohol as that is not part of the protocol. I'm staying on the protocol 100%, as well, considering another round of prohormones soon. I want to hear from you guys if there's anything similar you experienced and how I can get out of this plateau. It is really awful that a downswing can last that long and start so abruptly . It is demoralizing that just staying on a protocol does not do an inch to make it easier or better. Something else can be the issue.

    Do you know if I can do any gut test or any blood test to figure out what's going on?

    Hey man! I am a new PFSer so I don't think I will be of much use, but I have read many stories and am willing to brainstorm ideas.

    My first thought is that there is something consistent in your diet that could trigger a response like this. Try altering some foods and see what happens maybe?

    My Second thought is hypokalemia. This would be caused by too much pine pollen usually but can be corrected by increasing potassium intake. I've seen that hypokalemia can cause excessive thirst along with making PFS symptoms worse so it's a possibility. Also, this is a fucking long shot in the dark but you might feel better drinking alcohol because some alcohol contains potassium which is helping correct this issue.

    Let me know if this helps man and wish you well in your recovery

    Thanks man,I appreciate your thoughts. hypokalemia is interesting. I'm definitely eating 2-5 bananas/day so that should be able to help with potassium levels. However, I went through a few rounds of antibiotics this fall and they could be causing some funky stuff in my body.
