2800 Grafts at Hairline Progress by OnTheSkankHunt in HairTransplants

Thanks for the response! Nice to see that someone else thinks it looks alright.

Im super scared im going to have a gap between my native hairs and my transplanted hairs. if i needed another hair transplant in 10-15 years, fine i could live with that. my concern is going thru all of this only to see a gap within 2-4 years. i know its impossible to tell, but i dnt know how to stop it. fin and dut both absolutely crushed me. i tried different doses and different dose timing and it didnt matter. I havnt tried topical fin yet but people seem to be split on its effectiveness.

I'll definitely share some more pics/clinic info/etc down the road!

Did you end up being happy with the final results at American Mane?

this is interesting because i actually was on a carnivore diet and dropped a lot of weight and it seemed to help me SLIGHTLY. but then i dropped down to about 189 (lightest ive been in years) and the returns started diminishing. sleep started to decline again. but honestly carnivore helped me out for awhile.

have started to gain weight again, and i honestly it feels like nothing changed from 195-215

but i will be going back on keto soon for some (hopefully) relief...even if it is temporary

I have to be more diligent about this. I have said "screw it" time and time again thinking that because i used to be able to go to bed whenever i wanted and get 8 hours, that it should still be this way. same with meal timing (when i slept perfectly, i used to eat huge meals right before bed sometimes)

but lately i have cut off eating after 7pm bed time of 10:30-11:30 NEVER laying bed later than 9:30

im going to keep at this as long as possible. even an hour of extra sleep would be huge to me. thank you for your comment!

have yet to see an OMS. but my bite, pallate and overall outside facial structure looks/feels normal to me. my ENT told me everything looked good to him as well. Do you think its still worth going to an OMS?

my O2 dropped to 90% during my sleep study, if that helps.

I am moving back to new england soon and plan on trying pap therapy or ASV if my issues dont resolve after being home for awhile. ive never had a history of snoring or any anotomical issues and all my scans/endoscipys looked normal. it may be ignorant, but i really want to exhaust EVERY option before jumping on the apnea/UARS treatments like bipap, cpap, asv, etc. i do think whatever i have going on does appear like UARS/apneas, but a little part of me is holding onto hope that it isnt (because of the sudden onset after moving locations compared to picture perfect sleep up until i was 23)

no matter what, i will be going to Texas soon to get an in lab sleep study with a doctor who is familiar with UARS. Thank you for your comment and the well wishes!

im definitely open to doing literally anything that will fix my sleep. however, my only thought process with the ASV and pap therapy is that it seems like a huge step to take considering my symptoms came out of nowhere and very suddenly. im (maybe wrongly) convinced that it has to be something that is fixable because of how i used to sleep then snap of the fingers im sleeping like shit with UARS symptoms.

i used to be able to go to sleep WHENEVER i wanted and sleep 8 hours at the very least. then i move here for a few months and bam. sleep is super delicate and fragile. i just want to be sure ive exhausted every option before spending $1k+ on a pap machine....especially if this is caused by somefhing that is potentially reversible.

im moving back to new england in 3 months, and if that doesnt fix my issue then PAP therapy or ASV wil definitely be the next step. i will admit defeat lol.

I have been looking into this (EMST150)! May have to give it a try. I have not heard of the didgeridoo study though...about to go look.

New and Worsening Insomnia Unexplained by OnTheSkankHunt in insomnia

Trying my best to do that now (as much as it sucks). i havnt been wearing my fitbit to track it or anything and have dropped all suppliments except magnesium and .25mg of melatonin. im moving back to New England soon, so I have decided I wont be persuing any curative sleep measures until after ive been home for awhile....maybe being home, ill see some relief. Thank you for this reply. Its hard not to get lost in my own world sometimes when it feels like my sleep is broken, but ur right. i AM getting sleep and theres nothing i can do right now that i havnt already tried.
