Not Sure If I Should Keep Using Minoxidil

[neddy2016]

This is a tough one thats driving me nuts, i was using it for 1ml a day for frontial receding hairline for 4 months and didn't really notice any difference apart from possible side effects like i noticed oddly i was getting knee pain that started as just a slight ache when i sat down but got alot worse to the point of always being there and i also had itchy bumps on my lower back which left me really confused as to what was going on so i stopped minoxidil and my knee has felt abit better, still aches abit but overall its barely noticable as it was and my back doesn't itch anymore.

Now all this could be coincidence but a weird coincidence at that

Now obvious my receding hairline is noticeably still going back and now i am back to the question of what do i do? should i try minoxidil again since i dunno what else to do, did i quit to quickly? i can't say i lost or gained any hair any different from now, if i can stop the receding id rather stop it but i don't want more harm then good here.

I am thinking about trying imu oil but its not likely to be as tried and tested as Minoxidil.

I need advice

i was definitely getting some weird symptoms after 4 months of use which could be coincidence but for the most part they went away after i stopped using minoxidil so its all very weird.

Its frustrating because i want to have faith that the product will work.

Just stop, minoxidil has no effect for male pattern baldness other than imaginary. All minoxidil supporters disappear after a while, when they realize the progress was just a fantasy they clinged to like a ugly virgin to a rich man.

Minoxidil still is a petulant band-aid to me and not meant to combat the source.

You really only hear about the horror stories vs the success stories w/finasteride. I've been on it on/off for years w/out issue and currently back on it w/stronger dose without issues. Getting older is 99% of mens actual issue morning wood is no longer what your body is designed to do after 30. Get on finny 1mg and be thankful you can stop it for 5-10+ years while we get safe and non-surgical follicle stem cell injections past FDA by 2020. Add a good biotin/b complex and keto shampoo 2x week and wallah. I myself am not taking monixidil and debating if it's worth it for my little baby hairs on my sides. It doesn't stop dht though. Just throwa blood floor at scalp, and you can massage your scalp and go for a run if you want scalp blood flow. Stopping dht is your primary goal.

Is this a joke??

Lol I do think the variations of expectations are largely to blame. That or people who opt for surgical sometimes bash non-surgical treatments, etc. Minoxidil is still a quandary for me but I admit it's worth a shot for anyone who is debating to at least try it. Wish education was better but people's bodies and minds are just too dang different as well.
