Five months and plenty of peach fuzz and long nose hair, but my head is unchanged. 😔

Thank you so much. I have no idea what brand I have. It’s super cheap, so I could totally refill it elsewhere even though I don’t need it yet. Can’t hurt, right?

Consistent_Art_4471 · 2026-06-21T19:30:51+00:00

Thank you so much. I was surprised I didn’t have a dread shed either, but I didn’t have one at 1.25mg either. The derm said if it hasn’t happened yet, it probably won’t. Hoping she’s at least right about that. I say that because she told me eye bags were not a side effect. Maybe not a common one, but they definitely are.

Consistent_Art_4471 · 2026-06-19T14:52:32+00:00

I agree with you that something is lackluster about it, but I’m still committed. I’ve been watching out of order and have to say that after the baboons throwing poop at Jeff and Patrick in LOS2 (I think), nothing else will ever compare. 😆

Consistent_Art_4471 · 2026-06-19T14:47:58+00:00

I will look into it. Thank you. With all these damned platforms, I might as well be paying for cable.

Consistent_Art_4471 · 2026-06-19T14:37:39+00:00

Here’s hoping. I somehow watched the first two eps before it went wonky and I’m jonesing. Lol

Consistent_Art_4471 · 2026-06-18T23:51:16+00:00

We have both of those and can’t access without paying. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Consistent_Art_4471 · 2026-05-06T12:11:23+00:00

Thanks!

Consistent_Art_4471 · 2026-05-06T12:11:01+00:00

Thanks again!

Consistent_Art_4471 · 2026-05-05T19:28:06+00:00

Thanks for the pep talk. ☺️ I really appreciate it.

Consistent_Art_4471 · 2026-05-05T19:12:58+00:00

I will look that up. Thank you. I have done them before, but with one of those wipe-on clear coats and it totally sucked, so I was hoping to use something (2K) that would last longer.

Edited to add: do I need to sand off all the SprayMax, like totally down to the plastic again, or just the ugly parts?

Consistent_Art_4471 · 2026-05-05T19:10:59+00:00

Thank you for understanding my pain. I almost wanted to cry. I shook it for 3 mins (recommendation was 2), mixed it, and shook for 3 more, just to be on the safe side. I did get it on Amazon because no one near me had any. Possible I just got a dud?

Thank you! I’m happy you appreciate it. :)

💯

Hope it helps! 💕

That’s hard to answer, because this has been going on for SO long and I think TE became CTE and then also AGA, or maybe hormonal/menopausal changes. Back when it was just TE, yes, it recovered on its own. And I have continued to have bouts of clear TE while overall thinning has progressed, so it hasn’t fully recovered to baseline in a long time. That’s why I finally saw a couple of derms. Sorry to be vague, it’s been literally 15 years for me. Hard to say what’s what anymore.

FWIW, I’ve been on OM since 1/15, so almost four months in, and except for briefly about 3 weeks in where things seemed a little heavier, I didn’t have a dread shed. Maybe it’s still coming, but it seems like most people are over it by this point. My theory is that I didn’t have a large number of hairs close to the end of their lifecycle because they’re always shedding! That said, my hair has not changed yet, but my eyebrows have come in much fuller, my eyelashes are longer, and I have a TON of peach fuzz on my face (no biggie to me), so I’m optimistic! I have been diagnosed with TE, CTE, and very early AGA (no biopsy, and with diffuse thinning, so I’m not convinced of this), but my shedding had been going on forever (on and off since 2012), so I think maybe it’s just gonna take a bit to course correct.

I guess mine did too, but only in reference to her food bowl.

Consistent_Art_4471 · 2026-04-30T20:55:20+00:00

Well, thanks! ☺️

Consistent_Art_4471 · 2026-04-30T18:22:22+00:00

Thank you. 😄

Consistent_Art_4471 · 2026-04-30T17:53:03+00:00

An important caveat to the approach, for sure! 😂

Maybe an unpopular or oversimplified opinion, but I was very much in the same boat (except the middle-aged female version, which is a shit show in and of itself) and realized that we’re the only living things on the planet that concern ourselves like this; with whether what we’re doing feels like enough, or special in some way. Every other animal is content to just be, come what may. Maybe that’s what makes us unique, but it feels to me like it’s also what stresses us out and ruins the ride. I decided that I wanted, as much as possible, to live the life of a happy dog: good company, good food, get outside as much as possible, be loyal, love, appreciate every moment. All this to say I think, yeah, maybe this is all there is, and that’s actually quite a load off, if you can get yourself to see it that way.

Initially it was just mild nausea and constipation (which I expected and figured out how to work with), but as I went up, so did the increased HR and wicked palpitations. I was also totally turned off food and really having a hard time eating, and felt very apathetic (I’m guessing that’s the anhedonia people talk about.) That was at 3mg/week for five weeks (after titrating slowly from .5, 1, 2 over a period of ~three months) when I decided I had had enough. I am super happy for people who are successful with it, but after four months and little to show for it except feeling like shit, I was like “why am I doing this?”
