Before, I would get a new pimple on my face every few days! I would never get a break from acne, and the scars would continue to build up... If you look back on this thread, I would try to defend Accutane but I can no longer do that... It really is a dangerous drug!!!

my bmr is kinda high because iam tall and work a physically demanding job so i will need 2500 to just maintain my frame, but i wanna cut it down to 1300 where i can lose muscles because fast weight loss causes muscles loss compared to slow steady one, iam losing ton of hair from the diet shock, but it is temporary unlike male pattern baldness where the follicles are bye bye and fucked for life
Don’t put your self into diet shock, you will destroy your metabolism... Just try to eat around 1800 per day, rather than 1300.

it is worse in Canada, you can expect your meds to be destroyed on the way because it is illegal to order meds without prescription as everything must be approved by the family doctor, this is actually lead me to self castration because i couldn't order spirolonactone, and my family doctor thought iam crazy that i wanna get rid of testosterone for hair, so he prescribed finasteride and a stupid shampoo, lol so later they had to cover my orchiectomy and all meds including estrogen pills for life time, i feel guilty for hacking the system and getting everything for free but i had no choice, f*** baldness!I wish I could use an e-check in IHP, but that’s only allowed for Americans...
My ‘hair specialist’ thought I was crazy by saying finasteride is not a good hair loss medication. And she tried inferring that I wasn’t knowledgable, and that I should just listen to her because she’s a ‘doctor’. I don’t listen to any of my doctors anymore, I just share ideas with my dermatologist and endocrinologist because I was lucky enough to have ones which were so great and accepting, and were willing to try to get me bicalutamide prescribed. I can’t even thank my endocrinologist and dermatologist enough for at least listening to me, and were willing to research about the medications, and were curious about the medications. I felt comfortable enough to tell them that I am already self-medicating, in which they asked if I wanted monitoring in which I accepted. I think doctors NEED to be more accepting of people’s requests, because they don’t understand or know about the mindset we have. It could lead to the worst possible outcomes, and it’s unfortunate... They NEED to take people like us seriously, rather than pushing it aside and making us feel hopeless...
My doctor wouldn't even prescribe me finasteride....forced to go down the online route instead.
That's the funniest part... She recommended finasteride and minoxidil but she couldn't even prescribe them lmao she just said that I can buy it online... I waited five months for that sh*t *** appointment
Where do you live?
I mean India is a shithole, no doubt. But a person with money can do literally anything here. I find it way more fulfilling here than living in over-regulated socialist countries. A dermatologist I had online consultation with prescribed me Finasteride.
Re taking us seriously, lol. I was told by my dermato who literally had exactly 2 hair, that losing hair is "natural".

so is death
I wish him this natural thing
Cancer is a natural thing, yet that requires medical attention... I do not take any advice from any doctor at this point, there isn't a point since the only advice they can give is what they were taught, and what they were taught is: finasteride, minoxidil, DHT. I live in Europe!

maybe we are all deficient in iron and we just needed an avocado to solve the baldness mystery after all at least this what most dermatologist think
actually iam low in iron but i dnt it is the main reasonLOL I'm reminded of a girl from a hair forum, who has been taking iron pills for now 5 fuckin years and still losing hair.maybe we are all deficient in iron and we just needed an avocado to solve the baldness mystery after all at least this what most dermatologist think

I think we need to eat more almonds, eggs and not use technology because technology causes radiation and that causes hair loss
Every single GP seems to tell their patients that they have an iron deficiency, even if they haven't had a blood test...

Have you noticed new hairs forming? How long have you been using your regimen?

[REGIMEN TO GROW HAIR INCREDIBLY FAST AND INCREDIBLY HEALTHY]
1. MSM - has been proven by researches and lots of anecdotes available too. You're likely to notice results within 2 weeks. Some people notice thickness and increased growth even in the 1st week itself. Other benefits would be - incredibly soft and supple skin, gradual eradication of scares etc.
2. BIOTIN - used by lots of women to grow their hair fast. Works for virtually everyone. Note that it may give you acne if you're already prone.
3. Silica - I don't have personal experience with silica. Honestly it is little hard to find silica supplements in India. But, users have reported that it is greatly effective.
(If you know about some other supplements, please edit this post. Note that it is not about treatments, so don't add the likes of minoxidil. It's after we have treatment/cure for hair loss and we want incredible, thick, luscious, lustrous hair.)

Our hair looks so similar...
I am continuously waiting on my hairline, but in all honesty it's not that much of a concern. I am mainly concerned about the rest of my hair, since density is such a significant issue. I definitely will be doing another update in around three weeks, which will be the five month mark.
