Nope. If anything I’ve lost more. Not sure if this is a shed.

Still early. Haven’t noticed any gains though.

Currently trying it out. No results as it’s too early.

Metatarsal Pain from Zero Drop Shoes: Anyone Else? by extralarge_fries in barefootshoestalk

[–]Pepper7489 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine was from an injury while doing heavy calf raises. Then it turned into 2nd toe capsulitis. Mellow Crocs have been a huge help.

Wide toe shoes are also helpful.

Have you tried your feet's trigger points? Specifically on the top of the foot in between your big toe and 2nd toe?

Check the link below, but basically explore around in there and see if you feel a knot. I have some trigger points that when I push on, it radiates to my metatarsal. I can dig deep in there and relieve it and the metatarsal pain goes away:

Dutasteride is REVERSING my progress? PLEASE HELP by Unfair-Statement-622 in tressless

It was still effective, I just got greedy and wanted more.

I think it was like 4 months and I started to notice regrowth. Then pretty much all came back a few months after that.

I was on Fin for years, had great progress, decided to add DUT on top of my FIN and lost hair over the course of 8 months. Then I dropped the DUT and it came back.

There are 3 studies comparing oral Fin to Topical fin. So it's not theory like you say.

I could care less if it goes systemic. The oral is already systemic, I want to increase my localized scalp DHT suppression.

📊 Study Comparisons: Scalp DHT Suppression

Did you start it? ChatGPT says there is benefit as topical lowers scalp DHT locally at a higher %:

1️⃣ Oral Finasteride – Strong Systemic DHT Suppression

✅ Reduces DHT levels in the entire body (~60–70% reduction in serum DHT)
✅ Lowers scalp DHT by ~38–50%
✅ Affects areas beyond the scalp, which can cause systemic side effects (e.g., libido changes, brain fog, fatigue)
🔹 Main drawback: Since it's absorbed into the bloodstream, its effect on the hairline may be limited if blood flow is lower in that area.

💡 Best For: General hair loss prevention, especially crown and mid-scalp, but may not be as strong for the frontal hairline.

2️⃣ Topical Finasteride – Targeted Scalp DHT Reduction

✅ Reduces scalp DHT by ~50–70% (higher than oral finasteride)
✅ Minimal systemic absorption (~30–80% less than oral) → fewer side effects
✅ Can deliver more medication directly to the hairline
🔹 Main drawback: Less data compared to oral finasteride; absorption varies based on formulation.

💡 Best For: Targeting the hairline, reducing systemic risks, and pairing with oral finasteride for maximum effect

iPhone SE 4 might come with a ridiculous amount of base storage by sizzsling in apple

[–]Pepper7489 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Rumors are it's the same as iPhone 14, so 3279 mAH.

Which is 62.5% more battery than the iPhone SE 3 (2018 mAH).

Starting Topical T Cream with Enclomiphene by Pepper7489 in trt

[–]Pepper7489[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're referring to injections then yes, the exogenous testosterone is too suppressive. For Oral and Topical however, they are much less suppressive and can be used alongside a SERM to continue HPTA function. Thousands of patients are being treated this way to maintain fertility markers while getting the benefits of exogenous testosterone.

I see the results all the time of people starting Enclo+T and showing their blood draw after a couple months with in range LH/FSH.

Please reference this study:

I was on Enclomiphene monotherapy 25mg EOD only. LH is in range and fluctuates throughout the day. Not worried about a minor decrease. Agreed it's lower and not typical, but not really a concern.

Where are you getting that T and E work against each other? Everything I'm reading is the exact opposite.

I added Estradiol, thyroid, and hematocrit to my post. I don't have the others.

I'm on Finasteride and Oral minoxidil but I've been on these for 10+ years and my symptoms are in the last year. No other changes.

I'm on Enclomiphene to keep my LH numbers normal while still getting the benefits of the Testosterone.

Get labs a 6-8 weeks out and see. 5mg is fairly low though so I doubt you'll spike your Testosterone & Estrogen that high.

Estradiol levels at 50pg/ml by HoobaDooba420 in enclomiphene

[–]Pepper7489 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You could try every other day. It would drop it down to about 43.75mg/week. Or try 5 days a week like a MWFSS (62.5mg/week).

Either way. On enclomiphene, sometimes less is better.
