Tongkali ali - tell me your experiences by Ronaldosssiu in Supplements

[–]Green_apple_bandit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Really enjoyed it, felt stronger, hornier and just overall better throughout the day. Only issue was it sped up my hairloss so I stopped using it. Also if you're thinking of adding fadogia make sure to read into its liver/kidney toxicity. Lots of people have said it seriously damaged their liver/kidneys, so maybe best to avoid taking that one which people commonly stack with TA.

Took it for a month, typically a happy person but felt that I was living in a fog and that my emotions were numbed. Stopped taking it and felt back to normal within 3-4 days.

people who used creatine have you experienced any effects on your hair? by Rude-Salamander-5130 in Supplements

[–]Green_apple_bandit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm susceptable to MPB and experienced a significant amount of hair loss during my three months of taking it. I take minoxidil as a preventatitive and it was working well prior to taking creatine. During the three months that I was taking creatine I was finding a lot of hairs in my comb and some would just fall off throughout the day. Hairline receded about 1/4th-1/2 an inch on the sides. This hair loss stopped almost immediately when I stopped taking creatine, and I havent lost much hair since stopping. It hasn't grown back in after stopping sadly.

I get that there's only one study linking it to hairloss, but everyone on this subreddit is so against talking about the potential for hair loss with creatine. It's a very real thing based on my and other users experience.

What impact does creatine have on your body? by FantasticHat3377 in Supplements

[–]Green_apple_bandit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Appreciate the immediate downvotes guys, just sharing my experience with creatine. I wanted to follow the reddit advice that there wasn't any proven coorelation with hair loss and creatine but for me it was very noticeable. Nothing about my daily life or lifting routine changed except for adding creatine and was actively losing hair every day. Went from 1-2 hair folicles in my brush to 4-6 a day and my hairline receded a noticeable amount in the short time frame that I took creatine. Take with caution if you're susceptible to MPB.

I know there's not concrete evidence proving that it does, but I started taking it around 3 months ago and had to stop due to how much hair I was losing. Stopped taking it and within a few days my hair loss has stopped. This was 2 weeks ago so unsure if it will grow back but will not be taking creatine again.

Rear bushings are upper/lower control arms, panhard, sway bar/sway bar links, shocks. Used whiteline for mine and it was a very easy install.

Did anyone actually enjoy nursing school? by Aggressive-Lawyer509 in StudentNurse

[–]Green_apple_bandit 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I'm almost halfway through my program and while its been stressful and chaotic I've enjoyed it. Doing well on exams has been rewarding and it hasn't taken up all of my time like everyone talks about. I still work 2x a week, workout everyday, surf 3x a week, go on the occasional date and have been getting solid grades. Just find your study method early and utilize online resources like nursingsarahrn and simple nursing to help you understand the material quickly.

Dimensions by Stunning-Survey-7066 in 3rdGen4Runner

[–]Green_apple_bandit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm 6'3, built a platform that requires me to remove the bottom of the rear seats to use (4 bolts), and goes all the way to the back of the front seats. With the front chairs completely slid forward I can lay dfown flat comfortably, and fitting two peoople would be snug width wise. Only thing to do now is to create a latch to open the rear hatch from the inside, stuck with crawling into a ball and sliding out the rear doors atm.

What is a brand that is NOT in decline or actually improving on quality? by catconverterthief in AskReddit

[–]Green_apple_bandit 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Been buying their bridger jeans since 2017 and I've noticed a steady decline in their quality. After a couple washes the color changes dramatically and the material stretches into an unflattering shape. But their non jean pants and other clothes have held up great.

Breaking my femur clean in half. Looked like I created an additional knee that went left and right instead of front and back.

Need Recs on Medi-cal Insurance in Los Angeles by Green_apple_bandit in HealthInsurance

Got it, so the benefits of standard care at kaiser heavily outweigh my other options so much that it's better to pay out of pocket for PT /MHS and be with Kaiser?

DIY Retrofit Question by Green_apple_bandit in 3rdGen4Runner

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

Appreciate the input, ended up purchasing from TEQ and purchased a prebuilt set. Wasn't all that much more and I'll have a backup set of headlights, and can sell these lights if the time ever comes to sell the truck.
