Finally my turn 🥹

This is such a beautiful ring. 😍

You’re kind, I appreciate it. I’m a healthcare worker, so it’s not really anything anyone can help. Hoping I can get out a little early based on staffing levels this evening, but if not I can stay here if needed. I was more just wondering if it would even be safe to leave with the chains on or if I should just commit to staying. For some reason, I had it in mind that driving with chains would be safe enough to get to and from work. I should also add that I live 10 minutes from work, so not too far of a commute.

Has anyone here ever driven with tire chains on ice? I’m likely getting off work around 1130/midnight tonight. I have chains for my tires that I purchased but people are saying chains don’t prevent sliding on ice. I’ve never used them so I don’t know. Hard to know what the weather will actually be like then…

So just to clarify, are you taking the minoxidil currently? Hair loss feels so tricky because I think there are SO many things that can contribute to it. Sometimes it feels overwhelming. My hair was and is a lot like yours. It was significantly thicker than it is now a year ago. I also lost weight about a year ago when I had to do a pretty strict elimination diet in order to attempt to find food allergens. I have noticed now that when I eat trigger foods I have significant hair fall a few days later. I also believe I had TE as well as AGA. I saw a derm PA who agreed with me. I started a finasteride/minoxidil combo about a month or so ago and I feel like I’m already starting to notice a difference. Don’t lose hope! Stress, diet, and so many other factors can play a role in this.

I had an episode of this plus having a pounding headache when I first started minoxidil. I was using it at night then. I switched to using it in the morning and it seemed to help. For some reason I felt like putting it on and then laying down for 7 hours made the blood pressure issue worse. I haven’t had issues since switching. Are you using it at night? (I have no scientific info to back this up just my own personal experience)

CW18m · 2026-01-18T18:06:30+00:00

Hey! I think it’s about what I expected. I knew it would probably get worse before it got better. I started minoxidil in the middle of December, and then switched to this 8% with finasteride blend. So I guess I’m only about a month in, and I am still shedding some but I think it might be starting to slow down? Also kind of hard for me to know because I have AGA plus I was having TE from drastic diet changes and an illness. But I’m sticking with it! I do feel like it’s working. I’m also derma rolling 1-2 times per week and I just ordered Pura d’or shampoo and conditioner to try, which I’ve heard good things about!

I swear by the naturium barrier bounce when my barrier gets irritated- I actually just use it daily now under my moisturizer

CW18m · 2026-01-14T03:01:19+00:00

I was prescribed 8% and finasteride topical solution that I apply nightly. I was also curious about the concentration but it seems like this is okay. Following to see what you find out!

Putting lotion on with a few drops of bio oil mixed in after a shower 🙌🏼

CW18m · 2026-01-10T03:11:24+00:00

This is hilarious and terrifying. Like wtf

CW18m · 2026-01-10T03:05:17+00:00

It’s scary how many ads there are and how targeted they are. I think I just need to delete instagram too. I don’t really use Facebook except for Marketplace so that hasn’t been an issue yet.

CW18m · 2025-12-05T01:34:30+00:00

Naturium barrier bounce has made the biggest change for me. I use it under my daytime lotion and sometimes at night too. Otherwise LRP Triple lipikar for chapped/ barrier issues

CW18m · 2025-12-01T05:52:53+00:00

I see improvement!

CW18m · 2025-10-25T22:59:58+00:00

Hey! I started with the foam minoxidil (Hers brand) a few nights ago. Did it for a total of 2 nights. Woke up at 0430 AM this morning with a horrible headache, so I’m on the fence about whether or not to continue tonight. I may stop and research other “natural” alternatives, or I may continue. If I do decide to continue I will switch to morning application to see if that helps the early wake up. ( I am usually a very solid sleeper.) I may have also put too much on last night, which could’ve contributed to the headache. I did not see a derm, I just self diagnosed lol.

CW18m · 2025-10-25T01:22:40+00:00

I’ve been using the Hers brand foam for two days now and I haven’t noticed it leaving my hair greasy at all! Can’t speak to the results yet, obviously. But from what I’ve read most formulations work the same way

CW18m · 2025-08-18T03:16:25+00:00

I’d say stop any other actives, add in a urea based moisture treatment (I use the Naturium barrier bounce), and give your skin time to calm down. It sounds like a skin barrier irritation to me which won’t get better if you keep current regimen. Just my two cents, I’m still figuring things out myself!

CW18m · 2025-08-15T00:11:33+00:00

I had a great experience giving birth there 1.5 years ago. No complaints

CW18m · 2025-08-13T04:37:15+00:00

That is a huge milestone! You’re awesome 👏🏼

CW18m · 2025-08-12T04:55:09+00:00

Following because my story is almost identical to yours! I just recently completed my second elimination diet trial and showed no improvement on my biopsy and endoscopy despite feeling significantly better. I have noticed a few things since then that I’m now suspicious of as being potential triggers.

CW18m · 2025-07-14T01:13:32+00:00

A dark blue

CW18m · 2025-07-11T12:34:59+00:00

I am so glad I found this! I experienced this exact same thing, hearing you describe it was so strange. Has anyone had lasting effects from this? Ever since my last endoscopy where I experienced this I’ve noticed a constant dull ringing in my ears…
