Tired of this thread, not going to update it anymore. It’s not inciting discussion and no cure or progress has been found so I don’t really see a point in bumping it regularly with empty updates.
I visited my doctor recently and he confirmed that there is something wrong with the proliferation and activity of my cells and we are monitoring my progress. I told him about the anti-proliferation studies of Minoxidil and he said that is the most likely factor. We’ve also done a wide variety of labs, making sure I’m healthy everywhere else. The sides are real. No it’s not because of puberty, and no it’s not psychogenic.
And yes, I did have hairloss before starting minoxidil, and many people I know in real life pointed it out and a few even made fun of it. I got on this drug as a result of insecurity, I admit it, and now I’ve learned my lesson. The hairloss was most likely caused by another internal health problem that has since been solved. But now I know there are no magical drugs, if you are gaining in one place you are sacrificing in another.
This forum is mainly filled with depressed middle aged men who think a head of hair will solve all their problems and I don’t really belong here. Life ain’t about hair, it’s about being healthy, happy, and a high testosterone beast. That’s how you attract people, not with hair, and being like that is good for your hair anyways. Its embarrassing that I even got on this drug in the first place. I’m 6 months off Minoxidil and 10% recovered at best in the DHT and collagen departments. I’m not going to return to or update this thread.
