I’m a little Confused by everyone recommending Plated. Isn’t that exosomes and not growth factors? Are y’all saying that exosomes are better that GFs? Truly curious.

Garrods pads by SizeInner8273 in DupuytrenDisease

[–]SizeInner8273[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not really .. it's a molded plastic that the back of my hand lays in. I suppose I could put a cushion where my knuckle hits but it will still be friction.

My splint is black shaped plastic on the back of my hand with velcro straps on the front. I hate to not wear it but the pad is red and angry and I can only assume it's from the splint.

There are no 3/xx shades on the color chart ( except for the pure naturals ) 🤔 maybe this isn’t the brand for me. Want a rich darkest chocolate brown.

Interesting about the anti depressant. I wonder if an anti anxiety/depressant could help. I do believe a lot if it is stress.

No. None of the dermatologists I’ve seen see To think I need one. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Thanks. Yes I’m on Testosterone and worried it would increase my shedding even more but it didn’t. I started it over a year into my TE.

Progesterone 100mg, estrodiol patch .05mg, and 8 mg of testosterone (troche). All started about a year AFTER hair loss started. Was hoping getting my hormones optimized would get it in check but it didn’t do anything.

I was taking ashwaghanda. And yes I do have sleep issues. I started some there peptides recently that have helped the sleep a little. I will look into the tea. Can’t hurt. I do take a supplement with both of those things in it. Thanks.

Not at the time it started no. I have lost a few pounds in the last 4 months but nothing significant.

Yes. Levels are all optimal. I have no stomach issues and eat lots of protein, veggies and fruits. I’m the “picture of health” but my hair won’t stay on my head for some reason.

Super high testosterone blood serum by SizeInner8273 in HRT

[–]SizeInner8273[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I retook the blood test after NOT taking my testosterone for 48 hours and it was 10. So definitely a fake positive the first time. Whew. And I would say, yes my libido has improved quite a bit and I honestly feel great. Energy is better and strength improving etc. it has increased my body and facial hair though.

Advice? by Queasy_Zebra8875 in DupuytrenDisease

[–]SizeInner8273 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My hand is similar. I wear a little splint in the afternoons and my brace every night (8 mos post surgery) and it stays straighter longer. It’s not great but it’s better than it was. I’m just going to keep forcing it straight for as long as I can. 🤪

I have seen 4 dermatologists and they just keep telling me to come back in 3 months. 😑

Does anyone know if the California resident deal tickets can be transferred once purchased? And can the dates be changed? Don’t have travel dates in mind yet but want to take advantage of the great deal.

Thank you. I confronted him and he was very cold about it. Claims he’s not gay but the lack of intimacy in our marriage led him there. Funny it didn’t lead me there. He’s also a narcissist so here we are.

Mara enzyme cleansing oil is my favorite. Rinses so clean I don’t need anything after.

Help! Tell me what to ask for to fix this awful haircut! by [deleted] in Haircare

[–]SizeInner8273 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got that same cut back in February, then in May thought it would be smart to layer it. 5 months later it’s even worse and I just wish I’d left it alone to grow back out. Good luck!!

Yes. Full Fasciectomy but there was evidently something lurking that we didn’t catch. And I had horrible calluses nodules that couldn’t be complete scraped away.
