PFS Patient (male)

I had some consultations with urologist, endocrinologist, dermatologist, etc. They just ignore my condition and said is all in my head.

My name is …Alex… iam 30 ys old male from Portugal. I dont smoke, no alcohol no drugs no meds, practice swimming etc. I work as a Heath care profissional I took finasteride 1mg daily bases during 2 years (2013-2015) i had 23-25 yes old. During this 2 year i had experience side effects gradually like prostatitis, weak urinary flow, num penis, penis and balls atrophy, 0 libido, extreme brain fog, extreme extreme fatigue, suicidal thoughts, insomnia, ED, 0 morning wood or spontaneous erections, i dont had sperm right like i was castrated, cold penis, my skin is like paper and list go on and on.  The side effects went more severe after i stopped the drug like i had crash. During the period 20 months off the drug and no recovery. I had some consultations with urologist, endocrinologist, dermatologist, etc. They just ignore my condition and said is all in my head…unbelievable […] They know nothing about post finasteride syndrome in Portugal. I felt It was impossible live with this condition (i cant date marriage or have kids like this. I am useless and iam worth more like crap.  I can’t wait longer for a cure, that is very unrealistic…its a rare condition… I’m going to kill myself in a short term…).
