[QUOTE="Vvs1, post: 173280, member: 18041"] Quote from propecia help. [SIZE=15px][FONT=Helvetica][COLOR=rgb(34, 34, 34)]Recently, without much fanfare, PropeciaHelp passed the 5,000 user mark. On this occasion, I will briefly recapitulate on the global PFS catastrophe. It is reasonable to assume that for every 100 people affected with PFS, only 10 will ever find their way to PropeciaHelp, and of these 10 only one will sign up. This is consistent with reports elsewhere that only 1% of serious drug side effect victims sign up to dedicated internet patient forums. (If someone remembers the reference for this, let me know) If this low number sounds crazy, just remember that more than half of the world’s population does not have internet. Older people, who are more likely to receive Proscar, are also less likely to be on the internet or know how to search for information. Finally, non-english language users, who would be the majority of PFS victims, are also highly unlikely to ever find PropeciaHelp. A good example of this low internet forum participation rate is [URL='http://survivingantidepressants.org/'][COLOR=rgb(0, 136, 204)]survivingantidepressants.org [CENTER][COLOR=rgb(145, 145, 145)]2[/COLOR][/CENTER][/COLOR][/URL], which has only 15k members, whereas it has been estimated that more than 50% of long term antidepressant users experience debilitating, life-threatening, protracted withdrawal that takes years, and for which the internet forum is virtually the only source of information and support.
