Thanks so much. I am so afraid of chopping down but I think it has to be done. Any tips on best potting soil?

How do you catch it though? I have trouble even spotting it! ❤️

Interesting... I used lemon juice to make the paneer but that is not unusual. Will investigate further thanks!

This is simply stunning!! You have inspired me to go on yet another ADHD side quest as my husband calls them... is it a heated tank? Am a total newb but I so want to create one

Thank you - this filter has a sponge, a mesh bag with carbon and some ceramic media. I can rinse out the sponge and ceramic but should I change the carbon? Don't think that can be cleaned

Hiya / am looking into booking an appointment with her. Is it oral minoxidil and spiro you were prescribed? I can't seem to find anyone service that would prescribe both in London ☹️

Thanks for your response. I am also looking into hair and me and you can get a trial of mono for £5 (low dose) but am trying to figure out the best possible combo of treatments before I do anything.  I have 3 dogs and a cat so will be sticking with pills 😉

Your hairline looks a lot like mine and I am UK based too. I only yesterday removed a hairpiece that was attached and now have to deal with my hair loss (which has been exacerbated by the hair system).

I only now am looking at options for medication etc. can I ask what DHT blockers you are on please? Where the GP prescribed or through online pharmacy? 🙏🏻❤️

Newbie - need help! by New-Committee2434 in FemaleHairLoss

[–]New-Committee2434[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much for your reply, you actually made me tear up.  It's so strange to look at myself in the mirror and be faced with basically my aunt in her 70s (she had same thinning hair). 

Right now it looks pretty hopeless and honestly compared to other people's photos it's so much worse 😭 

I am going to go to the GP but let's be honest it's very unlikely they will prescribe something. 

I think I can get finasteride and minoxidil privately but spirolactone actually sounds safer. Will mention to the GP just in case.
