You can find my old stories under this user ID on propeciahelp. TL;DR is i took it for 2 years, ignored symptoms I should not have, came off, felt great for two weeks and then crashed. I took Tyrosine about 6 months after the crash at 1500mg per and day was cured for several months without interruption. But I stopped due to pain in my liver region. I tried other things like mucuna and l-dopa and when I finally tried tyrosine again after all those, it helped and then faded away. I could not recreate the permanence of the first time i used tyrosine. Since then I have tried other things and I cannot get back to a decent baseline. I have started taking cabergoline recently in the hopes of getting a steady dopamine flow but i feel like i got the same initial burst and then drop off. Testes having pain again and other symptoms resurfacing.
I decided to get some bloodwork done while on cabergoline, some tests that I have never done before. Those are here. Is there another method I could try based on the bloodwork being out of range?
Maybe @haidut or some other experts can weigh in on the leads in my bloodwork?
Thanks for the guidance here. I may post this on some other forums as I know there is expertise here but also in other places. Thanks everyone.
