Re: Could the mods add a “cured stories” section?

I was thinking maybe the easiest way would be if we opened up the section and had a pinned post explaining how to make new posts in the section and the template to use. The heading could be “READ BEFORE POSTING”. We could explain that post headings should follow a specific template that includes: - ...

Could the mods add a “cured stories” section?

I think it would be beneficial to have a specific section where we could post and read through all the cured stories.

Re: Numb muscles including heart

That isn't commonly reported, but I can confirm these effects may happen. Anaesthesied muscle, no visible veins, bradycardia etc. Seems our PSSD phenotypes are similar somewhat. Few questions 1) How long, which drugs and for what condition have you taken? 2) Did you intensively exercised while taki...

Re: Blood Results Show Elevated Liver Enzymes and TSH

I completely understand all of that but my TSH has been in check for the past two years. I get regular blood tests done every 6 months and take my medication everyday. My TSH never rises above 2. I just find it odd how after I got PSSD my TSH rises so high. If anything my TSH should be lower than my...

Re: Blood Results Show Elevated Liver Enzymes and TSH

What could cause my TSH to spike after getting PSSD? Also I was fasting for 16 hours for the test.

Re: Liver & Bladder

My blood work recently showed elevated AST and ALT levels which indicate liver damage. My TSH has also increased drastically and is now elevated even though i’ve recently increased my desiccated thyroid dosage. I attribute the cause of my PSSD partly to SJW which is a P450 enzyme inducer. Could it b...

Blood Results Show Elevated Liver Enzymes and TSH

I have been successfully treating my hashimoto’s hypothyroidism for years now and my bloods have always been within range. I increased my desiccated thyroid a few months ago by half a grain so if anything my TSH should be even lower than it was three months ago (~2 mIU/L). What could cause my TSH to...

Re: Can you feel fear, anxiety or panic?

No one seems to listen to me when I say that I believe pssd and anhedonia is caused by nmda downregulation...look at the evidence, fear, anxiety, panic not there any more...that's glutamate....why can't men get a hard on when they are drunk? Bloody nmda blockade that's why... People should try kind...

Re: Numb muscles including heart

Something else that adds up: “ Regulation of the 5-HT2A receptor The regulation of the 5-HT2A receptor is not fully understood, although it seems obvious that changes in the numbers of receptors expressed, i. e., the receptor density, is of major importance [27]. Multiple factors contribute to the c...

Could this be a reason for the neuropathy seen in some PSSD sufferers especially in the peni...
