Hello everybody.
Here I'm adding all my progress, meds, supplements, etc. Hope I can win (regrowth) or stop balding for some years.
Background.
Mother family. No balding until 50's.
Father family. Balding kicks at 30's.
My skull/skin matches mother genes. Kind of confused here.
Health issues.
-Autoimmune thyroiditis. Last check a month ago TSH almost suppressed but I went on T3 in previous days (self experiment -i'm thinking my hairloss might be because of low t3 due to stress-) so endo told my to stay on T4 again and wait 4 weeks and retest. This week retest.
---Leaky gut associated? Working on diet+intermittent fasting
---Chronic inflammation issues?
-Stress, massive load lately. Loss of family members, fight, stress at work.
---High cortisol associated? Sleep disturbances, circadian rhythm gone mad.
---Adrenal fatigue?
---Low T3, high RT3?
---Telogen effluvium?
---or male pattern baldness? Receding hairline 2cm now. Receding temples. Density everywhere pretty bad and since Finasteride even worse.
Lab test this week
-All thyroid ABs, t4, t3, tsh.
-Liver health.
-Renal health. ACTH, cortisol. (24 hs cortisol next time)
-Ferritin, transferrin
-Complete blood test
Treatment from October 2015
-Finasteride 0.25 during week, 0.5 during weekend. Sublingual administration. Thinking in going 0.5 sublingual everyday but i think i'm pretty sensitive to med because my shedding is massive.
-Scalp oils massage. Extra virgin olive oil. Coconut oil.
-Biotin 5mg 2 per week.
-Stresstab added in november. B1 30mg, B2 10mg, B6 10mg, B12 25mcg, B5 25mg, Niacinamide 100mg, VitE 45UI, Folic acid 500mcg, Cu 3mg, Zn 23,9mg
-Magnesium 200mg added in november.
-500mg cystin.
-Minoxidil discontinued in november didnt like side effects
Hair loss Status December 2015
No visible regrowth yet.... Shedding almost 200 hairs per day!!! Hair density pretty bad now. Crown starting to bald. Hair thin everywhere. From NWI to NWII really fast, now entering in NW3 territory. I think finasteride is accelerating the balding rate but if that means regrowth with more density.... wishes #$#$
Diet
Antiiflammatory, antihistaminic focus.
Sardines 80gr-100gr everyday. with mustard, thyme (anti dht), oregano, rosemary (upregulates NGF bad for hair but it's also a powerfull antiinflammatory)
1 Apple
1 Avocado
2 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil.
1 tbsp coconut oil (to fight candida -leaky gut autoimmune disease, guessing-
1 or 2 glucerna drink (complex carbs, calcium intake, al little processed soy estrogenic maybe helps
2 boiled eggs. 1 whole, 1 white.
Boiled sweet potato every other day.
Zucchini every other day (boil to lower lectin?).
Some capers (quercetin)
Buckwheat pasta (quercetin), with a little butter (butyrate GI antiinflammatory)
Cinnamon 1 teaspoonful (insulin resistance, blood flow)
Ginger/curcumin 1 day one, 1 day the other.
Jasmine tea after breakfast, after lunch, afternoon snack.
No dinner.
Chamomille tea without sugar at dinner time. (to lower adrenal stress, night cortisol spike)
Pizza or other recipe out of programme (friends, date etc) once or two a week.
Removed: whole wheat bread. Searching substitute.
Considering adding to diet: Watercress, Basil or holy basil, Red onion.
Other
Om chanting at night before bed.
Soothing music whenever i can/remember in youtube.
Next steps
Lab test. (july before finasteride test went all good -liver, T4, TSH, etc- but didn't test T3, thyroid abs, cortisol, acth, renin, etc...)
Going to endocrinologist again.
Going to a good dermatologist with endo health diagnosis, labs. I think is a mix of hypo with male pattern baldness and Telogen effluvium (or just diffuse thinner?) since july my hair loss rate went mad and finasteride is shedding all my telogen hairs (all my hair practically) really fast
Thats all for now.
