Very Upset And I Need My Fellow Brothers

[Pavi]

hey guys. I’m VERY upset. My hair was doing really well. Until literally last week. I have lost half of my density! I have no idea how. I literally cry myself to sleep. I am so upset and I need some social support. I am only 21 and I’m 5’6”. I’ve never had issues getting girls but being bald and 5’6” will end that. I’m so depressed. This sh*t sucks so badly. Balding at a young age is almost like losing a limb. I have become a social recluse. My youth. Being stolen.

Are you sure that you didn't make any changes?

Are you sure that you didn't make any changes?

None. I have done the exact same thing for two straight years. 0 missed applications. I have no idea why my density went to sh*t. I am not really progressing up the Norwood scale. My density is the issue.

That's unusual. Have you thought of seeing a doctor?

I mean what for? My thyroid labs were okay. I did them a week ago. I have no idea why my density just vanished. Could it be a shed?

Any pics?

Any pics?

Not right now. If you look at my profile I literally just posted a thread with a pic in it on my success at the two year mark

hey pavi. im sorry to hear about this. i know youve been happy with your minoxidil success and we've been trading stories about it for a couple of years now. i just want to respond to one thing you wrote: "I’ve never had issues getting girls but being bald and 5’6” will end that." you know... i dont think so. youre a charismatic and good looking dude, you know how to talk to women, and youre going to be able to get girls no matter what happens with your hair. too much time in the depths of this website will convince you that your life is over without hair and height but the 99.99% of other bald dudes are out living life and a ton of them date, many with very good looking girls. its just reality and a simple trip to the mall proves it, there are all kinds of couples all over the place, full stop. so dont believe the hype. if you do lose your hair id suggest leaving this site for a while and getting out there.

Take 5,000 iu of vitamin d. Vitamin d has been known to help revive hair follicles and also prevent old follicles from dying...they are learning alot of benefits of vitamin d. Maybe this will help you. I notice that 3 weeks in my hair is thicker from vitamin d daily. Hope it helps you my friend..

Update: I don’t know what tf is going on. My hair line seems to be improving yet my density has not recovered. What is this

Might be a shed.

This is why we should all take regular pictures.

Hmm ok I can guarantee that since I've been on vitamin d my hair is Fuller and I have regrowthbon the left side of my hairline...lots of little hairs growing...and what's wrong with adding a good vitamin to your daily regimen. I used to be depressed and didn't know why....turns out low vitamin d causes more than hairloss...I feel so much happier now too and less worried about hairloss....so it's a win win..

It may well be that your hair improved after the vitamin D, but,

1) It might have improved regardless, there's a reason that a sample of n=1 is never considered conclusive;

2) You have absolutely no idea if Pavi is deficient in vitamin D. There are any number of reasons why his hair might be bad right now.

3) You're advocating for a high dose of vitamin D3. If he's not deficient, he might develop vitamin D3 toxicity at that high dose. If he isn't deficient, he might develop it anyway. There is virtually never any reason to take such a colossal dose (5,000 iu a day, WTF) long-term, every day.

 

[Sseoud86]

5000 iu a day is not a colossal dose do some research....my mom takes 50000 iu twice weekly due to extremely low vitamin d "7"....just Google daily recommended and it will tell you 4-5000 which helps upper respiratory...cancer preventiin. Diabetes prevention...hypertension prevention...better soon and nails...so many benefits...even if he's not defiecient it will not hurt only help....I respect your oppinions as well...just trying to help.

I'm all for adding vitamin d3 to the diet, the evidence is out there that many of us are deficient. In terms of turning around your depression, that's about as extreme as it gets, did you make any other lifestyle changes??

Pavi - I really feel for you. My only advice in this situation is to open up in the real world, have a good support group around you and see a therapist or alternative methods with good evidence such as CBT

I can tell you my lifestyle is a wreck right now too....but I'm more optimistic then ever and feel clear headed maybe it's the vitamin d maybe not but I feel I should be worse but feel better...I lost my dog of 12 years in may...a week later my grandpa passed away....with all of this Ive withdrawn and dumped the love of my life and became more recluse...but I'm getting back on track day to day and just want to help support others...vitamin d has definitely helped me relax....my head is clear....alot less anxiety and over thinking..

I'm sorry to hear about your dog and your grandpa, I had a similar situation last year when I lost my cousin and grandma within a couple weeks of each other. There's nothing else worse. Glad to hear your on the right track now though. The one thing that really helped me was exercise and just unleashing my frustration out at the gym. Also I listened to A LOT of Eckart Tolle lol...our original poster may also find his work some help.
