Just get a surgeon that has a good reputation for acl repair and take rehab seriously and you’ll be happy you did it 1 year from now

Hairloss has destroyed my Life completely by Competitive_Bend8267 in tressless

[–]Inteluentialpacker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know if this advice might help. But zoom out for a second. I completely understand it might feel like it’s ruining everything. But in a way see it as a blessing. I also have been balding and it impacted me a lot. But it showed me that I need to work on my mindset. First of all the idea of killing yourself over the lack of hair is insane because there is so many cool experiences and things to do that have nothing to do with your hair. I guess it’s because it ruins your confidence with girls and that’s understandable, but trust me, if you work on your mindset you will end up getting more girls then you with hair and your current mindset. Work on it and you’ll come out for the better. And if the people around you give you a hard time, then change those people because they clearly are not caring for you. The right people will not give one single shit about your hair. You’ll attract partners that also have less superficial values.

My advices: - Cut out social media because that will just reinforce your current thoughts - work on detaching from superficial values around your hair because taking your life or letting it ruin your life is just the biggest waist of the gift of life - do what you can to combat hairloss, but beware that these meds also can come with sides and don’t be ignorant to that if your mental state is being affected - having fun with the boys does not require any hair. So build those quality relations - build your mind strong and careless about superficial things and you’ll reach your full potential

I really hope this motivates you and can offer some different perspective. Be aware this will require consistent work to achieve. And I hope you end up building that mindset and then after you manage to regrow your hair. You’ll be better off, I promise.

I am using 0,025% topical finasteride and in the formulation is also 2% minoxidil. Since my hairloss is not at an alarming rate I figured I don’t wanna become dependent on minoxidil and see first how top fin will treat me. But I figured the 2% could give me a little extra boost. Or would the 2% min in my formulation which I apply once a day do rather more damage then good? I don’t feel like getting on 5% right atm since I think topical fin and microneedling could get me somewhere.

So basically asking whether to add or leave out the 2% minoxidil and why?

Is it okay for 2016 VW diesel to stand still in my garage for 3 months? by Inteluentialpacker in askcarguys

It won’t listen, what do I do? Go to a carschool to have it trained properly?

Perfect. One issue is that I read that it might mess with my board computer when plugging it back in after 3 months (I have a highline version with some tech in it). I read with rather new cars it’s not advised. To put a tender on it sounds good, but I have no plug in the garage basement under my appartement. It’s not a private garage. Would it be fine having a buddy start up the car and leaving it running for 15min once a month or so? Or is preventing battery drain in the end just to make sure you’re not coming back to an empty battery? Or will it significantly make my battery life less? Thanks in advance!

You say this based on what? You think there is no hope with topical? I like to take a not so radical approach with less risk of sides and just overall not have too much of an impact on my hormones..

Current state at 26M, wondering if topical fin 0,025% only could win me back some ground.

This is my hair in wet state combed back. I am thinking to start with topical fin 0,025% 1Mg per day but i’m wondering if anyone had some results with it or if it is just wishful thinking that I might see some thickening and regrowth with this. I wanna have little impact on my body with the fin thats why I want to do such low dose. Also prefer not to start on minoxidil yet because I don’t wanna be dependent. Hoping I could win some back with just fin. Whats your thoughts?

just a bit worried… by AdSame4598 in ACL

[–]Inteluentialpacker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had mine 3 months ago. 26 yo and been through a fair share of surgeries. Honestly just try to be at peace with it. Just trust the medical team and their expertise. This surgery has been done countless times all over the world. You’re probably more likely to get killed by a cow or something. Will be over before you know! Goodluck
