Exploring The Hormonal Route. Hair=life.

[bridgeburn]

It's a lot of extra stuff to learn about, but at least we are a little more knowledgeable because of it lol.

hairloss turned me from a woo-peddling hippie mystic into a scientist

I would learn anything to keep my hair. Nothing is "too high-priced" compared to hair.

In all honesty, those who go bald should shave off their brows and beard and get rid of their body hair. I think that looks better, but that’s probably just me lol

Oh lordt...

With Spironolactone you can easily afford to go to 400mg, at least. But people are having to go to 150mg bicalutamide as well. Take DHTcel, Ries for example. That's why I find it hard to believe those people who say it by itself is a cure.

I've used spironolactone for about 10 months now. After the first 4 months I tried increasing my dosage from 100mg to 150mg. But it started giving me dark circles under my eyes and overall kinda just hollowing my face out in a negative way, so I had to cut back to 100mg. Obviously everyone is different, but I've seen this characteristic in numerous spironolactone users. Might have to do with it being a diuretic. Also, whenever I would stand up I would immediately get light headed due to the decreased blood pressure. Not sure I could go anywhere near 400mg without feeling and looking like a zombie.

I'm not sold on the idea that prolactin is negative. This guy took 200mg of cypro ED (a drug which normally elevates prolactin 10x normal amount) and it didn't seem to affect gains:

plus estrogen elevates prolactin some as well, and many have gotten results from the Diane-35, which has EE plus 2mg cypro. as in the case of Two-Hen:

As for the other factors, those are caused by testosterone and DHT so I would imagine a stronger Anti-androgen effect would help against those too.

don't get me wrong, spironolactone is fine if you take a high enough dose of it and there's different individual sensitivity and level of hairloss aggression

Same here. Watched Avengers Infinity war (last part, sorry if name's wrong) and there was a lady who was bald, but with no brows, no facial/body hair. Alopecia universalis totalis (something like that lol). But weirdly, I didnt have anxiety looking at her, she was good looking

beard is often used as a coping mechanism.. it's like, "at least I can grow hair somewhere!!! *sob

I once thought that having a long beard would shift attention away from the top of the head and people would stop rudely pointing out hairloss... boy was I wrong

 

[Ikarus]

It did the same to me. I am much more knowledgeable about how the human body works than i was before i had hair loss, i wouldn't say i'm smarter though because hair loss kept me from finishing college, i was losing my mind over it and stopped going to my classes to focus on how to reverse balding, a lot of time gone doing research and obsessing, but at least i know how to prevent a bald head now and i can finish school with peace of mind lol.

Me too! My endocrinologist actually complimented me about my knowledge, and I was so flattered... Now I look back, I wish I did show him my genitals when he asked to see them!

 

[transam]

Oh lordt...

Men who say they're okay with their hairloss, are not okay with their hairloss.
There are men who legit dont care about losing hair, but i think they're very rare.

Everyone whose been featured on that channel, are not okay with it. If a genie offered them a head full of hair, they'd take it back in a heartbeat

Your doctors still researching bica? I wonder where/how they do their research.

For sure. I spent a couple years buzzing my head to try and "accept" it.

Yeah. I have to wait until my follow up appointment. But even then, he said he might have to refer me to a gender specialist (I believe he is doing that because he thinks I have gender dysphoria)

 

[Ikarus]

Good lord, they just accept it and tell their selves all of that to feel better about it lol. I'm not saying accepting it is bad if it's perfectly fine with them, being bald and all, but they certainly don't HAVE to accept being bald.

I agree... And the whole ‘balding memes’ thing just screams insecurity. I don’t think anyone can accept balding, however they probably just try to move on with their life. I could never do that, I would start crying as soon as I see someone on Instagram with perfect hair lol

 

[bridgeburn]

i wouldn't say i'm smarter though because hair loss kept me from finishing college, i was losing my mind over it and stopped going to my classes to focus on how to reverse balding,

honestly, you don't need college to get smarter, you're taking a class right now; exploring the hormonal route 101

a lot of time gone doing research and obsessing,

Omg, yes.. I spent countless months researching before I started this regimen.
eventually all of my free time was dedicated to searching about hair and biology, I was always thinking about it

they are in denial and lying to themselves

 

[baba_yaga]

they are in denial and lying to themselves

I wonder what their reaction will be when they discover that taking one pill a day would save their hair for ever.
I guess they should never know, their mental state would cease to exist.

 

[bridgeburn]

I tried shaving it and got told I looked like an alien..

and in the words of @Sonolmn98 I needed to shave every 4 days to avoid looking like a pervert clown

I tried to choose not to care, but it's not a choice

That's being insecure, which is vain and unmasculine.
