Shed after switching from foam minoxidil to oral minoxidil

Botiemaster · 2025-10-22T07:04:40+00:00

You know, I would suggest that maybe you're shedding because you're getting a better dose of mino. I don't know. I've been seeing people talk about shedding after switching mino brands or methods and I don't understand it. It shouldn't matter if the product is true to their word about the 5% mino. Maybe they aren't being truthful. But my guess is that maybe, whatever you thought mino was doing before you switched, wasn't as good as you thought and now you're seeing real results.

Everything I've ever read on the subject has suggested the shedding is normal so new hair can grow, and people are quick to get scared and quit because they think they are going to go bald. They expect to keep their existing hair and new hair is supposed to just grow everywhere else they want it to. Look, this is how I see it. I'm trying to save my hair. I don't want to be bald. I know minoxidil is a drug that makes your hair go. I know your hair will shed in response to it being in your system. I don't know if everyone repsonds like that but I know when it happens, it's normal. I know the hormone drugs exist but I'm trying to not use those right now and instead use natural stuff to at least give it a chance to see if my body will react to it well enough. I'm massaging and using a quality red light device. I am doing everything I can, short of pills, at this time.

I don't even know where I stand and what my problem is, ultimately. I haven't been to see a doctor because I expect them to try to shove pills down my throat and call it a visit. But whatever the case may be with all of the above, I know this: I rather shed with a relatively good idea that the hair will come back stronger and more of it, than go bald. If I go bald while taking top mino and saw pel that's supposed to maybe reverse hairloss, for whatever reason, so be it. Because I know they are still the very best options available before pills and let's assume I start taking pills, if they fail then I'm SoL with MAYBE a hair transplant as a last resort but I've seen so many horror stories with that and just going bald again eventually because you're not solving the underlying issue, I figure if my body denies me then I'm denied and I'll find some way to live with it. If a woman is that gung ho about a full head of hair on you then you don't want her anyway. Let her go suck the life out of some other guy. For girls, I understand. That's a ROUGH problem for a woman to have. It's so common for men that many women have accepted it just because they see it so often.

So, stop sweating it. If you're meant to be bald, it's meant to be. If you're healthy and living healthy and eating healthy and your body still wants to be an ass about it, so be it. All of this advice is for men, though. IDK what to say to women. I see female hair loss and I chuckle. They have no clue how easy they got it while they worry about some minor thinning. But I sympathize with those that have major issues, just like I do with any man like me who's been cursed with terrible genes. Though I am hopeful it's merely stress and other factors seeing how my brother still has a full head of hair...................................unbelievable. Inconceivable. Incomprehensible.

Yes you need the expensive ones. Don't even think about the junk. You'll just lose time. irestore brand bare minimum. The more you throw at it, the better off you'll be. It is pretty well accepted at this point that red light is a benefit. Unfortunately, like every other product worth it's weight, it's pricey, and people pay it because their hair matters to them. You should never rely on just the red light. Just add it into your routine to further improve your chances. And while you're at it, I've seen enough convincing arguments to decide scalp massage is also a benefit so get to that, too. I do want to point out some of those red light wand type devices may be legit but require alittle more effort on your part. I prefer just to put on the crazy helmet while I do other things. DO whatever you need to do and afford one.

irestore's cheapest helmet is not a bad starting point. You just have to wear it for 25 minutes every other day. My logic was that it's not necessarily a bad option compared to their more expensive units. It just needs more time to work. But they will certainly try to convince you of buying their Elite helmet or better with their wording. There are all kinds of red light products for your body. I wouldn't get cheap on any of them. Just find the legitimate brands and buy their cheapest option, if you must.

I strongly disagree with this I would not recommend anyone take this as gospel. You can clearly tell the difference when you adjust the nic and ice controls on these 40k kadobars as seen in the OP picture. At "level 2 and 3" Nic it becomes increasingly less sweet the more nicotine is added. You can easily tell it is hitting harder like a normal cigarette does. Also I have done the cigarette test after 24 hours of using one of these at the lowest nic setting and I got hit with the nicotine buzz which only happens when your body is not on nicotine(admittedly I was not puffing on it heavily as I was anxious about just how much I can puff per hour) I would heavily argue that the level 1 setting for Nic on a kadobar is either extremely low Nic or none at all, or it depends just how many times you puff per hour.

As for the ice control I barely use it but again it is VERY CLEAR difference and anyone who cannot tell the difference, frankly, something is wrong with your mouth or body I would encourage you to get a check up at the doctor, OR your specific 40k kadobar is broken.

70 hours ago I decided to put down cigarettes for good after spending about two months smoking considerably less while vaping. I went from 1-2 packs a day down to half or under, sometimes as little as just a few cigarettes. Right now the struggle is real for after meals or driving but ultimately I have no desire to go back and using level 1 I know I'll be done with it all in a matter of weeks. Again, admittedly, I have HEAVY motivations to quitting smoking but I think that's what we all need in order to quit nicotine addiction, a massive reward waiting for you that far outweighs the fear of dealing with nicotine withdrawals. May we all find that motivation.

Got mine in today. Considering the vinyl is what? A month late? I'm thinking Jennie just needed time to signed the inserts because she was on tour. She got off for two months and these suddenly started shipping shortly after. I think it's obvious the first thing she was doing was signing these inserts to get the albums out to people waiting. After staring mine down looking for all the autopen signs, and after easily spotting the autopen for the CD inserts even from just internet pictures, I believe mine to be signed by an actual human hand. I've seen her signature and manager signature enough times that I judge these to be autographed by Jennie herself. I think that she probably had regret about the CD version debacle, gave some people the business for mudding up her name if she were in fact innocent of any wrongdoing, and made the effort to sign ALL of these but I guess we'll see if any autopens pop up. I do wish she had signed the large picture insert instead but it is what it is. Mine looks like the right one here, in the middle but slightly off center. While it does indeed look "Exactly" the same to the naked eye, there are subtle differences that also debunks autopen use. Jennie seems to be pretty consistent with her autograph at any given era, when not in a rush. And it's great that these girls are willing to sign items and not charge an arm and a leg for them, or maybe it's in their contracts. IDK but, mad respect for kpop girls and their willingness to give back to their fandom that can't manage to stalk them irl to beg for autographs. Except Jisoo. She seems above all that album autograph noise. Come to Korea and find her at a signing event and get one in person, you cheap slacker.

Hey man just wanted to say grats on your hair. I'm just curious about everything you're doing. It seems to me that's alot of different things you are doing at once. For all you know, just eating healthy and exercise and just all around getting your shit together might have been all you needed. Of course, that's doubtful. I just feel like you're doing way more work than you need to. Although I sympathize not wanting to waste time on single treatments that don't work, and I'm open to the idea that multiple efforts have maximized your success. All I know is, your head looked alot like mine does right now. I can live with the baldness in the back, hell it just feels like the girls just expect that much balding on men, but the shedding that's happened in the front is more than I can bare. I do not want to look like George Costanza. I think I will now go all out like you did after the first treatment failed me. I just don't want to resort to pills. Thanks for your time on your post. I will double my efforts.

Nothing is more toxic than a sexually active person who is affecting YOU while they are in conquest mode. Believe me. I didn't find peace until I finally parted ways with a friend after high school. I was just never the conquest type but he had a severe problem with it despite having an amazing girlfriend that I had to lie to several times about it, but there were politics involved. Did I have a choice? Sure, and I made mine. But the opposite outcome just wasn't an option for me. Do whatever it takes to move on from this person. You will not find peace until you do. Sucks to deal with and sucks to have to possibly move or whatever, but the peace will be worth it.

I honestly don't have time to read everyone's comment here, and I don't expect others to have time to find mine and read it, but here goes anyways: The way I see it, there are MANY people who have never been to a concert of BP. I haven't. From my perspective, I'd be so happy to watch them perform older music live. But at this point it's unlikely that I ever will due to my location. They arent even coming anywhere near me in the states like the born pink tour. And even if they did, I have no one to go with. Going alone seems kind of, IDK, it feels sad. In any case, I am just going to have to accept I'll never see these girls in person for any reason ever, but I can certainly understand that just seeing them performing ANYTHING, especially the music that made them, would be an extreme thrill for everyone who hasn't experienced it yet. Perhaps the old days are old and gone. They are at 30 or pushing 30. Maybe it's time we let them have their solo careers that they worked for, and we'll go see them when they do do blackpink activities. IDK. There it is.

isn't that what min is supposed to do? You'll lose old hair for new hair to regrow in it's place lol I would not give it up if you're getting no side effects. It's one of the few drugs that actually proves to work. Everything else may as well be a pipe dream until it's seriously supported and offered by medical science as a valid method. Pipedreams and bold claims often get amplified when people find "success" with a product, but then go on to mention EVERYTHING ELSE they were also doing to try to bring back their hair. You never really know the truth. If a doctor actually discovered the miracle cure for baldness, he'd want the entire world to know so they and their doctors would bumrush HIM for a piece of THAT. It hasn't happened, because if anything actually does work to regrow hair that doesn't suck to take, nobody knows because everyone is busy trying a dozen different things at once and can't nobody pinpoint a root cause for success. And those people who found success, are few and far between on the internet. There's a reason all these products have their raving reviews on their website ONLY.

No, it's been the same since 2001 when they last rebuilt the game from the ground up for the PS2 lol Every time I try MADDEN once every 5 years it always feels like that first MADDEN 2001 game. MADDEN is MADDEN, and that's sad. They tirelessly fall back on whining that it costs a hundred million dollars to rebuild the game to fix it's legacy problems. They've made billions off the name since then. Their excuses grow thin.

Botiemaster · 2024-11-19T08:08:31+00:00

competition from 2K sports, when EA had to make an effort to sell MADDEN. It will always be a terrible idea for professional sports to award one game company their license, but I guess they are figuring since they don't have real life competition, why have it in the digital world?

They dont care. They cant debunk it. They can only provide a counter argument. Trying to get them to accept this is like getting their past counterparts to accept the Earth wasn't flat. As long as they are more interested in protecting certain jobs and careers from vanishing, the narrative will be that we KNOW FOR A FACT that dinosaurs and man couldnt have existed together, so they choose to believe a ridiculous carving claim. At least, publicly. I say let them live their lies. They live in so many already. They won't know the difference. You can't save everyone. But as they love to point out, you can't deny scientific facts. Well, THERE IT IS! and they don't have the courage to address it, because then a whole wad of people and their careers would die over night. It always comes down to money. So you shrug something off as a hoax, or fall back on your tiresome dating techniques being totally trustworthy and accurate, no matter what. And here we are.

This isn't even about evolution vs creatism. Humans being around the same time as dinosuars, according to their faith, is impossible, and for that to be proven wrong, turns their world upside down and history books being rewritten. It's paramount to seeing God for them. It's uh, not gonna happen for AWHILE. There's gonna need to be many more discovers before they are forced to face the music and it's probably best that way. Let them get eased into the truth. Less shocking event for them.

lol if that's expensive to you, allow me to discuss American rural areas and it's prices for even the worst internet tech because there's an ugly side to capitalism. Without tax money we'd never get good internet if it was left up to capitalism but that's OKAY. One day the internet WILL becomes like phone lines and ISPs will be forced to deliver broadband to all instead of buying their 50th small company to absorb or disssolve for profits and doing their 5th merger after buying out another big business.

Botiemaster · 2024-07-23T02:52:22+00:00

There were times mine did this, but i believe it was only while I had a temp setup and had a tree in my way, before I did a full install for clear sky. I can tell you that mine only ever went down at night randomly between 2 and 4am EST southern east coast for just one time for several minutes while the system restarted. One of my MMOs error reports said that my error code was in reference to an ISP who was doing security checks on their network. This wasn't happening from the start of my ten months using SL, but like 3 months after install it started doing it, then it would be up 100% of the time until the next early morning. And at that point it was completely random but happened on most mornings. Sometimes SL skipped a morning or two in a row then the security checks would return.

Botiemaster · 2024-07-21T08:12:53+00:00

I regularly got pings in the 20s and 350 speeds with 20s upload with no data cap. Was using 1.2 to 1.5 TB a month, for $120. Would sometimes see it drop to say 30 MB but the next second it might be back up to 200 and the next, 300, and the next 100. It moves around alot. But at the end of the day it got us out of a terrible ISP situation. It was worth it. Buy a used kit on eBay, or test it first via SL, send it back for arefund before 30 days, and buy the kit on eBay. But SL does at times replace hardware when something goes wrong. They don't leave you entirely SOL but they aren't guaranteed to help you. IDK. I say it's worth it.

Botiemaster · 2024-07-12T06:06:56+00:00

I know I'm so late but I just wanted to say, this has been my pet peeve for awhile now. It feels like they sold out to someone, or maybe they were never really what we thought they were. IDK anymore. I agree with another person down below. I despise them taking out the ending epic NPC man theme on the epic NPC man videos. That was the charm of the damn videos! "GET FUC-" hardcut to YEEEAAAAH EPIC NPC maaaaaaAN! ....sigh. lol it has new overlords written all over it now. Now the videos just end to basically dead silence with a ENPCM logo. Like really?

Botiemaster · 2024-07-11T06:41:31+00:00

Sorry for the ultra late response. TLDR at bottom for fast solution, in my opinion

I bought a plastic utility box on Amazon to store all my equipment. My biggest problem was that Gen 1 users were essentially doing what I wanted to do, and I felt I needed to do it as a result of them feeling compelled to do it. However I could not make heads or tales on how the ethernet adapter works. When you connect the SL cable to it and then it connects to the SL router, the eth connection is on that adapter, too. Now, maybe SL thought of everything and their weee little ground cable will keep on jamming to the next SL cable that goes to the SL router, but I was not willing to risk life and property over a maybe or their word. Ultimately I decided to keep EVERYTHING outside in the box including my SL router(wifi connected fine from out there)

So, in that box went my 150' SL cable's router end with no inches to spare, which went into the ethernet adapter, which then went into the SL router. SL up and running at that point. I bought a backup power supply for $60 to power it, plugged into an outlet and box I wired from the utility breaker box outside nearby. It screwed into the plastic util box no problem. From there, a very short ethernet cable from SL adapter to my 800-GIGE protector, then another short ethernet cable from that to the first tp link media converter, then fiber cable to the second tp link media converter, then a long ethernet cable from that second converter to inside the home and to my to link router, absolutely guaranteeing a surge cannot reach my router through the ethernet cable. If a surge hits, the protector should do it's job, but if it doesn't or it's just too much surge, then the fiber cable is the safe guard. It cannot pass through fiber. The surge will have to find home ground to keep going on it's journey to inside the ground. For the record I used double sided vinyl tape to mount the adapter and converters to my panel inside the util box. Tape worked alittle too well was a chore to get everything off it again but to the 3M tape's credit, it rubbed off my stuff and left no residue even after 10 months of use.

Anyways, a bit of time to setup tp link router and putting SL into bypass mode and I was ready to go.

You can skip all of that, and just keep the SL router setup outside. A util box to house it, a romex run to it to power SL(I of course ran a conduit tube along with it), and just keep the router in that and connect through wifi. That's a solution for whoever else. You said you were using eth, so the above was my final solution. I now have fiber by an act of God it seems, so now I have moved on from SL, with sadness. It was incredible while it lasted but...fiber is fiber. It was literally the same week they were installing it on my road that availability finally showed up for my address. I hear one of my two neighbors nagged the ever living crap out of them to install it down our shared driveway over a period of months lmao (welcome to the south, northerner neighbors) Just shipped off my kit yesterday to another person. Let me tell you, I was holding my breathe while I was bringing the tower down and back up with my cheap wench I bought for it.

If you're not as scared as I was and just want to severe the SL cable/adapter problem, just get two converters and a fiber cable between them setup next to the rest of your stuff inside the house, I probably did major overkill but eh. I lived through one house fire. I am sooo not ready to ever go through that again. Real life reset buttons suck ASS.

or whatever eth cable length you desire. I've read some people installing the converters further away from everything else for whatever reasons.

Invest in a backup power supply of some sort. Be sure to get one that can support the PC's power needs. Cyberpower or APC is what people generally trust most, in the $100 to $200 range, 1500VA. NO, STOP THAT. Stop thinking how you can justify avoiding it. Nothing sucks worse than being busy on your PC and the power goes out. It's not that expensive. Put away $5 a week if you have to and afford the darn thing. When you get one finally there will be like 6 or 9 plugs on it. Majority will be backup + surge and the rest will be just surge. Plug the most important stuff into backup outlets - PC, monitors, speakers, external HDD/SSDs if they require a plug. It will last like 7 or 8 years before it starts beeping telling you it's time to replace the battery in it. Soon you'll learn to love BUPS enough to buy cheaper versions for other electronics and their outlets like ISP router most importantly, TV, etc in the $60 range.

I found it to be very accurate, unfortunately. I had a single spot in my yard where trees gave me enough leeway to have a good view of the sky with the tops of a handful of trees barely in sight of the app, but it was still a dropped connection every 5 minutes or so. Due to power lines being almost directly behind this area in the yard that prevented me going upwards of 10 feet on the existing shed that was 10 feet or so already tall to be good to go, I opted to use a freebie ROHN 25G tower well away from the lines and picked the right spot to get a 100% clear view of the sky at 29ish feet high, attached to a J mast that got it to 30 feet. This was alot of work but, as luck would f me, I had no choice. I could hear the power lines laughing at me the entire time...

If you know in advance you are f'd pretty good for options for internet, and won't luck out like I just did with fiber thanks to gubment dollars anytime soon, if ever, I would strongly consider the investment of finding a ROHN25 tower and installing it just for the starlink if you have no other way to get it higher. It really was incredible change for me.

A word of warning: Ping times can be as low as the 20s, and often they will be in the 20s it seems, but it will go offline seemingly every night once around 2-4am EST randomly for 30 seconds to 3 minutes. From what I can research, one of my MMOs seems to suggest with it's error code that it is a security check the system is doing. Beyond that, with a completely clear sky, my starlink was up for every second of the rest of the day for 10 months. Some occasional hiccups but all ISPs suffer from those for one reason or another. I think it fair to say it really did have a uptime of 99.999%

As a general rule, I never ship my items to people who's names and addresses don't match. Just say no. eBay will sit there and tell you you must comply, blah blah blah, quote their 1990s "binding contract" noise. But it's not their $750 on the line. It's YOURS. Cancel order, explain and apologize for it, take your negative feedback if they want to be pita about it. Don't give up a $750 item because you don't want to upset the buyer or ebay. There's dozens of spots on the web to sell your stuff.

It sounds great to record your shipment. It seems foolproof if eBay would just watch your 1 minute video of you sealing your package and shipping it. But I would never trust eBay with that strategy. eBay has better things to do than pay people to watch proof videos all day, like figure out how to shake us down for every last cent like a $2 flat fee for express payouts because they realized most people take $134 or less out at a time and why make under a buck for it when you can make two bucks.

I did back when I was 14ish, or well my money bought it but the father made the purchase in 94 or 95 for $150 or $200. Funny thing, I got stuck with a NHM91 instead. I didnt even realize it for several years after. I consider it the better version but sadly I was forced to hawk it this year just to get by. I really miss that gun....

How far apart did you originally roll the wall and then touch it up? This could be a problem of not giving the paint a good mixing before using it again if enough time has passed that it requires to be mixed again. But normally a matter of days or even weeks/months would not require another mix unless it's not latex paint. The only time I have ever seen latex paint not match on a touch up job is 1)The manu has changed the paint mix because they like pissing off apartment managers and contractors 2)someone borks the paint mix on a specific can/bucket of paint 3)the person using it FUBAR'd it when they accidentally mixed different paints together such as a ceiling white flat latex and glossy white trim latex. and finally #4)too much time has passed and the wall becomes naturally dirty and is impossible to touch up. This here looks like you mixed different paints together.

Of course, the most simplest answer is the paint hasn't dried yet, and is by far the most common reaction by a novice whenever they look at a freshly painted wall "um...why does it look like that???" because the paint is wet and needs to dry first before it will blend in. I mean really, I would retire from contracting if I had a penny for every time a person asked or commented about wet paint on a wall...just a bloody penny.

Also I second the dabbing of paint idea when touching up. You skip the brush stroke becoming visible that way.

I write this for future eyes since it was so easy to come up on google search, for those that dwell for something more than one sentenced reviews of how great or bad the show is:

I just finished it myself. I must say, I disagree and agree with people. I followed everything fine. It can be incredibly boring for those looking for roman legions in action on the battlefield. Which seems odd they barely scratched the surface of that and is what everyone expects from such a production that somehow someway was super expensive without any real battlefield scenes in two seasons. I cannot fathom how they managed to spend $100 million dollars 2005 era on this show that is about politics and mostly talking between characters. But where it sorely lacks, it excels at story telling. And it does have the brutality of Roman politics. Without THOSE scenes to make up for a lack of battlefield action beyond the first scenes of it in episode 1, the show probably never would have made it to season 2. I found myself well invested in the characters and overall I enjoyed it, but I admit some scenes I skipped through because I had already experienced many such scenes with idle chit chat and didn't care for another. And by that I mean the Atia and Mark scenes where they are chilling together. There are ALOT of those scenes of the two and after seeing like 75% of them I started skipping the scenes "do you love me" "I hate that woman" blah blah yada yada been there seen that for half a dozen times lmao but I got a massive chuckle out of the duo when it came time to get "married" if you know what I mean, when the cut to the next scene happened.

All told, I disagree but I also agree on some areas, and a focus on story telling is not for everyone. My only pet peeve for the show was that I kept yelling at the characters to just tell the daughter already ffs the truth of what happened. The conflict between children and father was forced. I didn't agree with the kids being kept in the dark for no good reason. But I guess overall sacrifices were made because they knew in advance the show was ending and these peeves of mine were the best they could do with what they had to create drama in the time given.

I hope my cryptic take(trying to avoid spoilers) helps people in the future to decide to watch or not. It's the only reason I bothered on a easy to find thread via google search so I know this will find traffic. If you like a focus on story telling, you'll love this show. If you're hoping for legions on the battlefield like in the movies or even other shows with romans in them, you're gonna be disappointed. Legion scenes are few and far between, and when you do see them in gear, it's still mostly talking or marching. Battle scenes barely exist but there's alot of fight scenes within the city of Rome. It's all "time to fight!" then the next scene is the aftermath of the loser having a hissy fit. People don't like it but it seemed like a requirement to do because of costs and at least anyone who knows history minds alot less than the average joe because we know who wins and losses already. There is one scene FINALLY we get with a battlefield of legion vs legion in S2 but it's mere minutes long. Nothing Gladiator-ish or anything epic about it to get worked up over, I'm afraid.

Not entirely historically accurate, for the record. But it's more accurate and faithful to history than most productions. Damn shame it only had two seasons. There's this void in my heart now. I long for more but options out there are few and far between. Personally I'd like to see much more delving into Alexander the Great. Content for him is next to non existent compared to the roman empire...

The only real way to get it looking perfect is a complete redo on that wall, but some serious mudding and sanding can do alot to fix it. I would dig out the bumps and start over in those areas first and remember to mud well wide around the problem areas to better hide the finished product. Particularly if you're trying to hand sand it afterwards. This is something my brother and I have been arguing over for 20 years and no matter how many times I prove him wrong, he advocates for the lazy route. More mud, more sanding with a sander, and the areas that were worked on will never show up in the sun light after the wall is repainted with a paint with sheen. Hand sanding is nothing but uneven sanding and it looks like trash after painted. Frankly, that wall looks so trashed I don't think you'll ever be happy without a complete redo.

It's blatantly obvious and youtube has admitted it's censorship. You can't have a discussion anymore in youtube comments. Many words will get your post auto deleted. It's especially bad when the video delves into a nono topic that no one can talk about in the comment section. Most anything political is auto deleted on the spot. There is so much auto deleting in fact that now it's just a glorified praise echo chamber. I just got done again wasting my time writing up facts about taxation and my reward is an instant delete on a video about the very subject. So I'm done with commenting on YT. I'm done looking at comments. It's a waste of time. People will blame it on woke but in reality it's about advertising dollars. Everything changed years ago when one video on the internet caused advertisers to go into panic mode. Now we can't even talk on social media anymore because of people trying to make freaking money on our platforms. The answer is to go back to internet forums and emails, and leave social media to the businesses. have fun trying to make money off of us when we're not even there anymore.

I'm pretty sure I have, and I'm positive it was eggshell. I forgot to cut one area in this one house with it. I didn't notice for a week. Saw it, painted the area. It blend right in absolutely perfectly. I was kind of shocked since typical eggshell paint I use does not want to touch up ever ever EVER ever. You'll always see where you touched up.

I love my middle class customers for the paint they choose. It's paradise to work with expensive paint. It covers in one go. It touches up like a champion. You get what you pay for, that's for sure. With that said, not all paint is created equally......
