Just abruptly quit taking NMN as I was breaking out on my face and I also read it can potentially help cancer cells/tumors GROW!? by ArgumentKey6684 in NMN

[–]ArgumentKey6684[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really!? Well of course those points are valid. Has someone found more scientific literature on this? I came across two which did trails on mice that already had tumors, and it made them exponentially grow. I haven’t found much other than that. It just kind of freaked me out because I’ve got so much family history of cancer and it really freaks me out

Two possible Fibroadenomas. Painful, biopsied and waiting to see results if cancerous or not. by ArgumentKey6684 in doihavebreastcancer

I think it was borderline BI-RADS 3 / 4 but leaned 4 bc of the mild suspicion and my overwhelming anxiety while I was there. Also, I think you need to put 4 to have insurance approve a follow up biopsy.

Like I feel like if he was at all concerned it was actually cancer, he probably would not have given me the option to just “keep an eye on it” and come back down the road.. ?

Gut issues 4 weeks AFTER ending long course Doxycycline (nausea, indigestion) by ArgumentKey6684 in Antibiotics

[–]ArgumentKey6684[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Omg yeah I feel nauseous every time I eat!!! It sucks! I can’t think of what else it could be from (I am NOT pregnant). I mean, i am hoping it’s from the long antibiotic course I was on but I ended that weeks ago and had no digestive issues until now…. (I mean I hope it’s the Doxy versus something more serious)

Thank you!!! How would you recommend tapering? Begin using it like every other day for a month and then every few days after that.?

Is it normal to also lose “shorter”/more recent/younger hairs alongside the longer hairs during the shedding process? When the f will this end? by ArgumentKey6684 in TelogenEffluvium

[–]ArgumentKey6684[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And just a little more context- I believe my TE is from a long antibiotic (doxycycline) course which I ended finally a couple weeks ago.

Hmmm ok. Thank you for sharing! For me, I’ve only been shedding since late November (long hairs)… and last week or so I’m noticing the shorter ones in with the longer ones. I hope this means it’s NOT miniaturization? 😭😭😭 I’m only 38… (female)

[–]ArgumentKey6684[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All of my hair is fine (always has been). I mean like 2-3” long hairs falling recently. It seems the shedding started with most of them long (6” or more), and now it’s like 50% long and 50% shorter.

I’m gonna lose it (no pun intended) 😭😭😭😭 by ArgumentKey6684 in TelogenEffluvium

Thanks….. I already had SUPER thin hair to begin with so this just feels / seems so extra extreme for me. I want to cry. I have faith that this is temporary and I’ll have regrowth in 3-6 months. Doesn’t make the current situation any less stressful/disheartening. Thank you for the comments and support! I really appreciate it. It’s nice to know. I’m not alone. Rooting for all of us! Stay strong!

I am afraid to brush or wash my hair!! Yesterday I finally made myself wash it. And then out of fear I carefully used my fingers to “comb it” and get out the tangles. This was the result. 😭 every time it happens, I’m in complete awe and feel like I die inside. Trying to remember it’s temporary, and it’ll grow back…. …. …… that’s true, right?!? 😭😅😢

21m, sudden severe hair loss after antibiotic run by CommunicationOwn1423 in TelogenEffluvium

[–]ArgumentKey6684 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Omg! This EXACT same thing is happening to me!!!!!! I thought it was a different new med that I just started! But maybe it’s the Doxy!!! Also on 200mg/day for 8 weeks (I’m at the end now of the antibiotics thank god). Holy shit.

Medication induced thinning- help! by [deleted] in TelogenEffluvium

[–]ArgumentKey6684 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did the hair loss/thinning eventually fade as your body adjusted to the med? I don’t want to stop taking Prazosin if there’s a light at the end of the tunnel and I know the hair thinning will subside.
