PFS Foundation: Patients & Loved Ones Crying Out
The PFS Foundation has been dedicated to research since its inception in 2012, focusing on understanding the underlying biological mechanisms of post-finasteride syndrome (PFS) and exploring potential treatments. However, the sheer volume of cries for help from patients and their families led to the creation of the PFS Quilt—a powerful collection of testimonials that echo the devastating impact of PFS on lives around the world.
The PFS Quilt shares real stories from those affected by PFS, revealing the often overlooked and heart-wrenching consequences of this condition. From persistent physical and mental health struggles to the tragic loss of loved ones, these testimonials are a stark reminder of the need for awareness and research.
By exploring the PFS Quilt, you can gain insight into the profound challenges faced by PFS sufferers and their families. The foundation hopes that by sharing these stories, they can not only raise awareness but also provide a glimmer of hope for those in the early stages of PFS, showing that some patients have seen incremental improvements over time.
