Did you have diabetes? I read it can cause inflammation and chronical Telogen Effluvium.

No. I dont have. But two friends of me who have diabetes type 1 (they need inject insulin) still have full head of hair (both are in late 20s)

I couldn't find that much info about your experience in biotin. You have written in the beginning that you have got some benefits because of it. Do you still use it (5000mg?) and how much do you think it helped you? Also I'm getting my dermaroller in one week, first I am going to try the once every week/fortnight but maybe later your method also. Thanks in advance.

Hey Alex "Somebody" glad to hear you again and thanks to your time to answer all of our questions!You helped a lot of guys here mine too with your story "from mild bald to full head of thick hair" ! Again thanks and have some questions for you.

Do you have any anxiety/sleep problems due to the long-term usage of finasteride?I was on 1mg finasteride one year but die on the sleep problems discontinued and im now on 0.5mg..What's your opinion..I was on topical finasteride pre-made solution..don't have sides but i don't know if have any effect on hairline.

You've got a long thick hair..is 1ml of minoxidil good enough to apply on whole scalp or did you apply it only on thin/bald areas?

What's your opinion on ru58841 or swiss temple protocol or other anti-androgens ?

Thanks Alex !!

At worst I was 118 kg... Now 83 kg. But it wasn't just weight. When I started to lose hair I got more and more destructive behavior. Against myself and others. I still feel bad about that time.

Wow that's a lot of weight lost. Good for u my friend.

We all have dark times from the past. It's just best to learn from it and move forward.

Do you think lack of sleep can make hair loss worse?

How about anxiety?

Do u recommend any supplements or meds for either?

 

[abovedagame]

Also, I know you said you typically eat 2 meals a day.

How many servings of fruits and Vegetables do u usually eat per day when you do that?

Yes true. What's done is done.

Do you think lack of sleep can make hair loss worse?

No, I don't think so. But enough sleep makes you more sharp and focused.

How about anxiety?

What kind of anxiety?

Do u recommend any supplements or meds for either?

I havnt used supplements or meds to suppress anxiety. What has worked for me is proper breathing exercises, meditation, self awareness, and things like this.

Yes two times a day. It's practial

How many servings of fruits and Vegetables do u usually eat per day when you do that?

1-2 times a day. I don't count fruit's as meal. Vegetables I usually eat together with meal.

I mean like general anxiety. Stuff that keeps you up at night, mind racing, unable to focus, anxiety that keeps u from doing things u want.

1-2 times a day. I don't count fruit's as meal. Vegetables I usually eat together with meal.

I guess what I was trying to ask is how many servings do u get total in a day of fruits and veggetables. Example:
1 banana= 1 serving or 1 cup brocolli= 1 serving, etc

I dont have it anymore. Yes, I can get it from time to time. But as it comes in my mind I let it go again. It feels so much lighter now. What has been helpful for me is books from Jed Mckenna also Bob Proctor has been great. It gave new perspective.

Banana and other fruits 2-3 times a day. Brocolli and other vegatbles same time as meal. Only meals x 2 times a day + fruit (shake) x 2 times total = 4 times

Cool thanks. Do u blend raw eggs? I heard this is not good because raw eggs can cause biotin deficiency and other issues. Salmonella would be another concern. Thoughts?

I began eating raw eggs in 2014. No increase in hair loss. (But I take 5000 mcg biotin daily). I have eaten raw eggs in countries like Laos, Cambodia, Indonesia never had any problem.

Hey @Somebody

I bought a digital microscope today and took pics, is this inflammation? I made a thread with photos:

[Johnmpb]

I'm getting the weirdest possible results right now. Temples regrowing much faster than middle of the hairline. Hoping lagging areas catch up.

Please describe ur dermarolling procedure/frequency/etc

Second pic was taken when you were on finasteride alone, no minoxidil? Then you are a good responder to it.

Yes. Just finansterid 0.5 mg. I do respond well to finasteride. But it doesn't help how good reposnder I was I still was losing my gains becouse of inflammation. I add two pictures from 2012. Cortisone helped in 2011, but since I disconeted it after 2 months I had lost all my gains. As you can see from 2012 pictures my hair again was a mess.
