    Well, it has certainly been a while since i've posted on here. I'm 8 months in to a lifelong streak and PAWS is kicking my butt. The only way I can describe it would be I feel like half a man. For those of you under 90 days, I was were you are for a long LONG time, and I never thought about something like PAWS lasting up to 2 years. It is absolutely brutal in that it is totally random and it plays with your confidence and your mind. Here are my current symptoms 8 months in; these symptoms come and go in varying degrees on an hour by hour basis. I can wake up feeling confident and energetic(rare), and then in 2 hours have horrible symptoms for the remainder of the day. You really just never know.

    Low libido, if any
    Irritable
    Social anxiety
    Unmotivated
    Tired
    High voice
    Brain fog and very slow moments(I've been made fun of for 'acting like an air head')
    Low energy, hard to get up in the morning
    Just overall feeling like half a man
    Every 1-2 months extreme urges that make me go nearly insane

    Those who also have experience with PAWS feel free to chime in.

    I'm leaving this here for the sake of the community, as this subject is largely unstudied and the more information the community can gather on this subject the better. I am also leaving this here for myself to reference in the future to see how far i've come.
