    PFS and Penile Shrinkage

    Hi guys, Apologies firstly, as I know this has been touched upon over a number of threads, but just thought it may deserve one of it's own? I took Propecia for 10 days approximately a year ago, and I had problems straight away, hence quitting instantly. I suffered continuous side effects upon...

    Recommended Hair Conditioner?

    Hi there, I'm nearly 29 and have been thinning for approx 18 months, pretty much all over but around the crown in the majority. It will be hereditary and genetic. I've taken Regaine for the past 6 months or so and I would say it has slowed things down a fair bit, but naturally doesn't solve the...

    I just read this from Dr Crisler in the 'BBC Coverage' message: Of note, using estrogen lowering drugs/supplements to increase testosterone is a huge mistake. They are very bad for Lipid Profile, bone mineral density, brain function, endothelial function, etc. That is what happens when you...

    i am just a little aprehensive about taking too many supplements? is the cracking of joints, in your opinion, actually potentially dangerous, or just a side effect? can i, therefore, expect the zinc to raise my testosterone - and my dht - so it may bring on more hairloss as the dht levels raise?

    ok, so do you suggest i stay on the zinc for another week or so and see how it is then, before considering further options?

    Sea Kelp and Horsetail

    My local Holland & Barrett store recommended these for hair growth and strengthening. Obviously, they are in no way any deterrent or fighter against male pattern baldness, but I just wondered if anyone had had any success with these for strengthening, thickening or growing existing hair? Myself - i've used them...

    yep, bloodwork was all fine - similar to what i have now. best of luck to you too - are you having the exact same problems and have you recovered sufficiently? i have felt my muscle mass has decreased a little bit over the past few weeks, but, as i say, that may not just be related to these...

    Hi, I still feel I have some extra foreskin when my penis is flaccid - and it seems smaller in general then - but when erect it seems the same as it was previously? This is obviously something that i'm not sure will change or go away? And amidst all this, i'm still looking for a sensible and...

    I forgot to say, also, that I had my blood tests done: serum testosterone 23.5 SSH level serum: 4.3 serum LH level: 6.2 serum prolactin: 140 glucose: 4.9 blood clarity: normal The Doctor said these were all fine, but if they aren't glaringly out-of-sync then he will say that. Last time I had my...

    Hi all/Enden, Just giving you an update on where I am: I have now taken 50mg Zinc Picolinate for a week. I am not yet having any morning erections, and not many daytime or spontaneous ones either. To be honest, i never got many daytime ones anyway, so that isn't a major problem! Just still no...
