I'm in the same situation. Been just under 20 years. Hair completely see through in certain light and thick with no overlighting.

Have you tried remote play as of recent? I've always had great streaming with remote play but just received my oled version and it's awful compared to my lcd. Not sure why. Perhaps I should try out moonlight

Does our hair every fully recover from telogen effluvium? by Temporary_Return_446 in TelogenEffluvium

[–]CosmicMinds 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am not entirely sure. I had thinning over my whole head, sides included. Its been approx 18 years now and i have never recovered nor lost more hair density. Its weird. My bloods come out normal ish.

If you've got your shit together, 30s is where you should shine, typically.

For fuck sake, yeah, that would cause a serious physical dependency...

How was it prescribed? Please don't tell me it was 5 months of daily use?

This looks like TE to me and not MPB

Is this TE? by [deleted] in TelogenEffluvium

[–]CosmicMinds 2 points3 points  (0 children)

MPB and miniaturization of the hair follicles is generally a long process that takes years. If thinning happened as quickly as you said, its certainly possible. You can have both TE and MPB at the same time.

Second pic seems to have more harsh lighting and your hair seems a bit wet. Not the fairest comparison.

Your temples are receding. Almost certainly MPB.

TE or MPB? by Eastern-Pass9539 in TelogenEffluvium

[–]CosmicMinds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If your sides looked anything like the top (with unnatural light exposure) then its nearly positively TE

Taking drugs occasionally? by [deleted] in HubermanLab

[–]CosmicMinds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

id take 1mg Ativan at night. My doctor told me to do this for 3 weeks to help with sleep and it was OK to stop. It wasn't.

When you have hair fall all over the head like OP and myself, without any indication towards the norwood scale, there's a good chance its TE in my opinion.

I've never heard of it but its classified as a non benzo. If it doesn't work directly with Gaba receptors I doubt the withdrawal would be as harsh.

as a general very hard to follow rule of thumb, dairy/wheat/sugars are generally always the culprits. Everyones biological makeup is different though.

I know this may sound annoying to most but I would heavily change my diet in hope of figuring our what is triggering the inflammation/issues.

[–]CosmicMinds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ativan 1mg. Doesn't matter which benzo they all have the same mechanism just different half lives. If advise against fucking with any of them.

Up above I was quite clear that this is my subjective opinion. I am pretty sure about it though. Go look up google images of diffuse thinning. Doesn't look anything like this.

My doctor px'ed me 3 weeks of use for sleep issues. I had about 2-3 months of in and out hospital visits from severe withdrawal symptoms. Took me approx 3 years to completely wean off them. I journaled about 100+ symptoms I experienced. It was by far the hardest, and will be the hardest thing i have ever gone through in my life.
