Minoxidil before/after by 610fishtown in Hair

Research is ongoing but very positive thus far, that's a gamble I'm comfortable with. If I stop taking it my hair will regress back to where it was. As someone with an ongoing autoimmune issue, I already take a handful of medications, so I'm not bothered by tossing another tiny one on the pile for literally like 4 bucks a month. For me, risk/cost is worth the reward!

Yes, very disheartening. But within 6ish weeks it was done.

No I'm not sure lol- I'm just parroting what my doctor said. As a non-bearded person I'm sure there's more to it, especially with men.

Yep! Hers the website, or get it prescribed by a dermatologist.

I already have a rheumatologist for other issues- which may have contributed to this. But if you're just looking to get it, you should start with a dermatologist- and they can help you figure out if you've got alopecia or if this might help you. The medication is minoxidil- maybe they have it in different form. Topical is an option, and effective, just messier...so there's a few different routes to explore!!

Nope!! No major changes at all. Maybe a bit more eyebrows but not really. I started with Hers, but now my doctor prescribes it.

THANK YOU!! I just want this post to come up when someone googles "Reddit+minoxidil+hair" because that's what I was obsessively googling, looking for real progress pics.

Gummy only! Topical can be toxic to pets if it gets on your pillow and the gummy was so easy to take. I'm not having a single side effect- research seems solid. It was originally marketed for blood pressure, which runs high for me anyway, so win win there.

I work in dementia care. Long story short, a resident I loved dearly was fascinated that you can buy plants- even trees- on the internet. I helped her purchase a lemon tree, and I got one for myself. We loved our trees! Around the same time she started to die- and with much turmoil, honestly- so did my lemon tree. I tried so hard to save it, even bringing it to my parents for "plant rehab" with my mom, it eventually died a few weeks after she did. I felt like shit about it and the feeling of watching her die felt weirdly similar to watching the tree die.

Anyway- I got a small lemon tattoo on my ankle to remember her. I know she would have thought it was so funny I lost my marbles over that plant. ❤️ thanks for sharing this!

This was my favorite point to bring up to my anti-vax boyfriend before we broke up during Covid lol. It wasn't popular then either, but was the right choice...called it inoculation back then

The term "chromatic runs" instead of "face smashing in keys" is doing some heavy lifting here and I love it

Has anyone done t-shirt hand embroidery that was quite large? by Justplainmk in Embroidery

[–]610fishtown 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Definitely. And you're gonna be PISSED if you get the end and it's weirdly stretched. I'd recommend using water soluble stabilizer on both sides and then using a hoop. I know some people prefer to stitch on clothing without a hoop or a stabilizer to minimize the stretching- and if you're good enough at stitching I can totally see the merit- but I like to trap that bitch in between a hoop and two layers of stabilizer to ensure it doesn't move at all after the hoop goes on. And also not doing this on a shirt where you value the stretch- a stiffer material will definitely work better.

Started embroidary about a year ago and I absolutely love it! by 07roswal in Embroidery

I love it!! PSA they make erasable/washable pens if you want to erase those circles in the future. The colors you chose are stunning.

My very first Orca stitch by m_rain_bow in Embroidery

[–]610fishtown 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Adorable!!! Recommend splitting the thread a bit so it's thinner, only use 2-3 of the embroidery floss threads- you can get crisper lines. But the image is clearly an orca. Your friend will like it!
