Ok i'm back everyone, this time with pretty good news overall (every time i post here with good news things go downhill pretty quick, so understandably i don't check in very often :wink: )
***NOTE ** THIS POST IS LONG, BUT I DON'T POST OFTEN , PLUS IT'S ENCOURAGING STUFF, SO PLEASE BEAR WITH ME ***
Last time i checked in 6 weeks ago i was seriously shedding like a mofo. Like 300 hairs daily, no joke. Shedding was from all over. Well the shed continued unabated for about 3 weeks when everything just stopped. Not a single hair anywhere. after a week i could tell my hair had grown in thicker then before. Currently my hair is probably slightly better then my 8 month pics (which as many of you know in my opinion was great improvement)
All i can say to all you other guys out there experiencing "late" shedding is to hold on, sh*t just cycles, freaking out and jumping off is probably a really bad thing to do. Bombscience i know you were kinda in the same boat i think, how are you doing man?
*** The only weird thing is that my hair definately has different textures going on *** My hair has kinda changed textures from curly / wavy / straightish as i've naturally grown up, but now it seems wavy / straightish are co-existing in different spots on my head. The mid-vertex is definately straighter then the front, yet both are nearly equally as thick. Kinda looks funnly when vertex sticks up straight, and the front bends all over.
Also some of you guys know i've had problems with gyno. I can say that since dropping my bodyfat % from 15 down to 9% (a huge personal accomplishment for me) The nodule has dramatically decreased. Only when flexing my chest in weird angles can i see the nodule. Otherwise relaxed or whatever it is undetectable. I cruise around shirtless all the time and no one has mentioned anything to me.
Finally *phew * for people who arn't familiar with me, i'll restate my treatment here
- 1/4 proscar tab for 15 months.
- Nizoral shampoo 2x week for like 20 months or something.
- MSM 2000mg daily (Seriously, i must now shave daily, and people are shocked at how fast my hair grows, stuff ridiculousy affects hair)
- Cup or two of green tea daily
Only time i've ever stopped proscar is for a week when i got gyno, and also a couple months ago i went off it for a week or so as well. Personally i feel after the drug is so loaded into your system its good to cycle off it for a week or so. This is just a personal thing as the body is quite good at upregulating receptors to compensate hormonal changes (i.e. with caffeine plus countless other substances) I think i may be kinda alone on this idea, but i recall reading Jon Ross does it too, and i think that guy fared pretty well in the long run.
Feel free to ask any questions, i'll stick around for a while on the boards (Or a long time if things start to slide :lol: ) I might post some pics but truthfully they don't look all that much diff then my 8 months ones. The only thing i might share are the pics of my shed. Scalp city all over.
Good luck to everyone!
