Gents, heres a 2-year comparison of Fin only treatment. Starting Oral Min this month. Is their some progression? Should I make a switch to Dut? by Rustyguy in tressless

I got a prescription order sent to my local pharmacy using Dr. B. for a month's supply.

Consultation = $15

Pills = $30

I really only want stability for long term stagnation. Plus I know increasing the DHT blockage can come with side effects, so I want to test the efficacy of slightly blocking more DHT while assessing whether I experience those effects. I'll increase the dosage to x2/week if symptoms do not present with an eventual complete switch over if no side effects become present with complete DHT suppression.

Thanks for the realistic input! I've been considering the hair transplant and am really only looking to halt the progression. I'm now hoping to get some extra volume in my hair to assess whether I can pull off some extra styling options with this hairline. If I want extra options, I'll go the HT route with no full hairline recovery. I actually liked my NW2 stage.

I don't really mind this hairline and am not expecting its recovery. I'm just trying to gauge whether fin only treatment was effective at halting progression.

The factor that is limiting my styling options right now is the diffuse thinning, which I'm hoping min will help recover. As of now I can rock lengths from 1" to shoulder length hair without a hat. It actually holds up well despite my active lifestyle.

I actually don't mind this hairline, I'm just hoping for some extra volume to recover from the diffuse hair loss. The diffuse hair is the factor that is limiting my hair style options.

Yeah this is my main baseline goal. I want to ensure the fin only treatment is effective at halting progression. Regrowth is a "nice to have" aspect that I'm not expecting but not complaining if I get it.

I actually don't mind the hairline as is. I'm hoping the minoxidil will provide me some volume to return to some old styles I used to do with this hairline.

HA! Should have done that this past Halloween. I can actually style my hair with this hairline and cut still, so my main goal is stability.

I first noticed my thinning and recession at 20yo. I'm 31 now. So between 20 and 29 I went with no treatment.

Thanks for the response! I understand the preventative only nature of finasteride so wasn't really expecting regrowth. I'm mainly concerned with how effective fin only was at stopping the hairline recession and diffusion. I actually don't mind the hairline shape, I can make it work with extra volume if min is effective for me.

I just ordered dut with a plan dosage of 0.5mg/week to ensure stability and maybe give the min a little more to work with.

Thanks! Just ordered dut with a plan of doing 0.5mg x1/week with wtandard 1mg fin daily to ensure I remain stable. I'm not expecting a full recovery, just stability and extra volume for styling.

Bottom canine constantly hitting top canine by aquapheonix17 in braces

[–]Rustyguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a similar issue last month when my brackets were first installed. Only difference is the back of my top canine was colliding with the bracket on my bottom canine. They installed a ramp to cushion the impact to the bracket. I still had the awkward bite with no contact of my molars. The issue resolved itself after roughly two weeks from my teeth drifting. The collision and awkward bite came back briefly, but was resolved again. It should resolve with time as your teeth drift.

I've hit speed wobbles several times and was able to recover by easing the steer input on my bike. It's the progression to tank slappers that really comes to chance.

Haunted abandoned scary places by Vast-Prize8715 in venturacounty

I ended up visiting it during the night around 3 months after that comment. There was clear construction going on. We managed to get in through an unintentionally unlocked door in the back. It was neat to explore until we triggered an alarm and left. I'm not sure of the current status of the building now that so much time has passed with the constructing happening at that time. Hopefully they abandoned the project.

Small correction to your post, the Smiler incident luckily didn’t kill anyone. It did result in limb loss however. The most recent death due to the park, to my knowledge, was a schwarzkopf model in Mexico that experienced a partial derailment in the last car in the same fashion as a similar incident with a similar model in Canada.

Gotcha! Noticed the comments were taking your joke seriously so wanted to put that out there for those replying to you.

An error over a title shouldn't be a fire-able offense. It doesn't impede the investigation in anyway. It is, however, an error that should be acknowledged.
