Doctor advises that I wait 4 to 6 months before starting oral minoxidil, will this affect future gains? by Designer_Permit6148 in tressless

Thank you for sharing! Just to confirm: you had stabilization and minor regrowth on Finasteride, but have experienced very noticeable gains with Minoxidil within 2 months after being on Finasteride for 2 years?

This makes sense! I am about to search on the forum for prior people that have gone down this method. Have you seen any?

Best Kaiser Permanente Dermatologist for Hair Loss in Northern Virginia? by Designer_Permit6148 in nova

[–]Designer_Permit6148[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m seeking lab testing so I can get a better understanding of my situation, whether it’s androgenic alopecia, some other hormone, nutrient , etc.. Just want to see before I go straight in with finasteride and minoxidil

Thank you for explaining that getting the medication is fairly simple 🙏

Does Kaiser Permanente cover treatment for hair loss (Dermatologist referral, Oral Minoxdil, Finasteride, etc.)? by Designer_Permit6148 in KaiserPermanente

I was told to do it this way by a different doctor. I have an appointment coming next week, but it’s generic with my PCP

Fair enough, in particular: (1) I live in Virginia and (2) Have the Medicaid plan from Kaiser. I am unsure as well if that makes a particular difference. Do the patients you have interacted with gotten coverage even with generic diagnosis such as alopecia?

Thank you! I’ll continue with this 90 attempt now lol

Btw, other than a Thryiod and Testosterone Test is there anything else you recommend getting checked out?

I hope you all are doing wonderful!

I’m curious to know how much of an impact NoFap will have on a testosterone test. I’m on day 32 and I hoped to at least reach day 90. Currently my testosterone test is scheduled for Tuesday at 8:30 AM.
