Physical Therapist Suffering from PFS After Taking One Pill of Finasteride
Damon, who bravely shared his story in an interview on the PFSNetwork channel years ago, returns with a heartfelt update on his ongoing battle. Since taking just one pill of Finasteride in 2018, Damon has been suffering from the debilitating effects of Post-Finasteride Syndrome (PFS). In this video, he provides an honest look at how his condition has affected his life over the past six years.
Post-Finasteride Syndrome (PFS) is the current term for a rare syndrome characterized by devastating physical, neurological, and sexual side effects that persist and progress even after stopping finasteride. This condition occurs primarily in younger men who have taken the drug to treat hair loss, and there is currently no effective treatment available.
PFS has a disastrous impact on patients, their families, and their friends. It often leads to disability, isolation, and even suicide. Every person is valuable, and everyone deserves to make a fully informed choice about their health.
