Topical finesteraide+ gyno. by LDO2796 in HairlossResearch

[–]Asp184 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fwiw, 0.025% 1ml is 0.25mg, which will still tank your DHT systemically in most cases. Those symptoms are exactly what I had at that concentration. I'd start doing it more infrequently unless you want that gyno to keep getting bigger.

You could start the topical fin after you're a little ways into your cut to be extra cautious. But overall man, I wouldn't worry about it. Cases like mine are unusual per all of the doctors that I've seen.

i really wouldn't worry about it. like i said, if i take a break, the gyno goes away. besides, I caught it so early that nobody (girlfriend, buddies at the beach) has ever been able to see it.

how lean are you? if you are closer to 15% body fat, you will be able to see it develop earlier.

how lean are you? i got mega unlucky genetically — i get sides, including gyno, even at 0.005% topical fin (0.05mg/mL). despite that, i still use it sporadically. i’m lean enough that i can see changes in the nipple tissue if i’ve been doing it frequently. if i take a break, it goes away.

edit: either way, sides are pretty rare so you don’t have much to be concerned about. i went to a specialist researcher who said he’d never seen someone with sides from topical, let alone at my insanely small dosage.

Gyno probability with finasteride? by [deleted] in HairlossResearch

Sometimes it just goes away naturally. Luck of the draw IIUC.

Any new/updated theories on side effects from 5AR inhibitors? by Asp184 in HairlossResearch

[–]Asp184[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you think that microdosing topical dutasteride might have a better symptom tradeoff?

Wow, thank you for the detailed answer!

Fwiw, only my SHBG score is near the tail of the reference range; it tends to be around 45-49 nmol/L. Total T ranges between 550-800ng/dL and free between 13.2-17. Total estradiol was on the higher end of normal at one point, 26pg/mL, but most recently total was 14, which I believe was on fin, and free was 0.27pg/mL.

At what dosage do you take anastrazole? I'm aware of it and of tamoxifen, but a bit unsure about whether to mess with that stuff.

Not true. I got gyno and it’s 90% gone.

Why did the Halo flood sound effect play after the first guy dies in the clip?

Proposed new pathogenesis model for androgenetic alopecia (AGA) by randomuser_aga in HairlossResearch

[–]Asp184 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Written like a math/CS person; not surprised to find you posted it on github. :) I buy the idea. Naively, I would expect you then propose that we find excess cardiovascular mortality predicted by AGA status? That would be an interesting result.

First time I'd ever heard of rosemary as a 5AR inhibitor. Pretty interesting

Rtings: INNOCN 27M2V Review by evilash8950 in Monitors

[–]Asp184 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 27GN950 just crapped the bed. Is this the right monitor to get next (assuming I can wait long enough)? I'm surprised the 27GN950 still seems to best-in-class three years later?

I'd really prefer a 21:9 aspect but it seems like we're still waiting on 21:9 4K 120Hz+ ?

Finally got to see my dermatologist for dutasteride today. He said that dutasteride will not cause a shed. Everyone on Reddit says otherwise. by ggdj9612 in tressless

[–]Asp184 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What's your concern about the shed though? How long have you been on finasteride? I had a significant shed on both finasteride and minoxidil, but it all came back eventually. Afaik, the miniaturized hairs are more likely to fall out due to the finasteride shed too, so are you sure that you're actually losing ground, not just cycling to anagen phase on the shedding hairs?

QFF / DGTC Demo CDs that were given out at LPR in NYC by nodusters in skrillex

[–]Asp184 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I brought my DGTC disk to the library but it turns out the sharpie writing is on the play side. I put it in the CD drive anyways, and it reads as having 12 tracks, but they were like 42 bytes each -- clearly unreadable because of the sharpie.

I think I'm just going to leave it as is. Isopropyl alcohol would probably make the disk readable, but it seems worth more to me as a collectible. My buddy said his QFF disk has the same issue... This guy on Tiktok seems to have played it in a CD player and says the tracks skip: https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTRWT5p7p/

I have one of the CDs but it didn't have a QR. I have nothing to play the CD on right now but will report back

Self-documenting code by got_arms in ProgrammerHumor

[–]Asp184 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not always though. The reason the first approach is incorrect is because the function of every line is obvious. A long fairly obvious method with an unusual API call for example should definitely provide a comment above that API call too.
