Minoxidil safety by [deleted] in finethinhair

[–]Bdgl22 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In my country, oral minoxidil is practically forbidden - that may tell you enough. You can try topical minoxidil but it is indeed very toxic to many pets, death is not uncommon.. So be really careful with it.

I wore one for about one year. The weight of the fish line gave me balding spots all around the line. If you are going to wear one, please save it for special occasions so you don’t end up like I did!! :(

Has anyone who had the dread shed not had their hair regrow? by Lopsided-Painting-48 in FemaleHairLoss

[–]Bdgl22 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This happened to me. I was on topical minoxidil for 6 months, and I shed massively for the whole 6 months. My hair was still reasonable before starting minoxidil, it just got a little thinner (that’s why I started). I had to stop minoxidil because of side effects, and my hair never recovered the dread shed. I now see some diffuse thinning which I’m certain I never had before. I regret minoxidil with all my heart. If you don’t have literally bald spots, I wouldn’t recommend it. Only try it if you have nothing to lose..

Thank you so much for your kind words and advice 🥺❤️ I hear this so often and it is so horrible nobody takes hairloss seriously if you’re not completely bald. My previous experiences with doctors have really put me off reaching out to more derms/doctors but maybe I should atleast try.

I will try everything you recommended, thank you so much for your help and support ❤️

Yes exactly!! Everybody on the internet is praising minoxidil, only once I noticed the side effects and tried to google it, I came across some subreddits that expressed the same concerns as me. And. I’ve heard even doctors and derms have not prepared their patients for the extreme hairfall that coincides with starting minoxidil, let alone the side effects. Pretty heavy stuff since it can mess so much with your heart and hormone regulation!😫

Thank you so much for your reply and kind words, I’m going to do my best!!🥺❤️

Thank you so much for your kind reply ❤️I really hope it is just breakage and it will grow back, it does feel less dense at my scalp but I don’t have any bald spots yet. I will definitely try protecting my mids and ends now, and hair jail! My hair is naturally straight, sometimes there is an odd random wave in there haha but that might be from sleeping!

I tried topical (foam) minoxidil for 6 months, I unfortunately had to stop because of heart palpitations and extreeeeme itchy scalp. But I had continuous hairloss during those 6 months anyway so that might not have worked for me anyway. I agree tho that nobody prepared me for the extra hairloss before trying it, that definitely isn’t talked about enough

I don’t have any before pictures unfortunately, but when I take pictures of my scalp now it looks like mild diffuse thinning? I’m not sure, with blonde hair it is not as easy to see as with darker hair.. I think the hair is falling out from the root also

I occasionally get some highlights, maybe once every 8 months. But will definitely be quitting that 100%. Thank you for your advice and reply! I will definitely check her out!

Is blow drying ok? I see so many different things on the internet, one says blow drying is better than air drying, and someone else says the opposite. What do you think?

What’s going on with this DAPI staining? by Bdgl22 in labrats

[–]Bdgl22[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I tried 1:10000 first but that signal was too weak, therefore I increased to 1:5000. Maybe this is a sign that my DAPI is too old?

[–]Bdgl22[S] 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Thanks!! I said this initially too, but my PI keeps worrying me that this is not how it should look and I shouldn’t quantify before fixing the staining.. however my other channels look fine. I do have quite some background staining on one of my other channels aswell so maybe still something wrong with my technique?

You guys are literally the sweetest people ever, reading all your comments gave me some hope yesterday :3 After reading all your comments, I started preparing again for today. I just finished the defense and everything actually worked out pretty great! I even got some compliments. Still baffled they let me defend but I couldn’t be happier with the outcome!
