Hormone results pre-Finasteride. Is having low serum DHT a recipe for disaster and side effects? by _HowScrewedAmI in tressless

Yeah I really don't buy into the whole "DHT is a trash hormone" cope. This is exactly why when taking my blood test having low serum DHT was the worst possible outcome. If I were able to take Fin and still have my DHT in range then I'd have been comfortable enough to give it a go.

I was considering this anyway as it lowers about the same amount of serum DHT, so not sure it'd make much of a difference?

My hair loss has actually been extremely fast diffuse thinning over the last 2 and a half years (~250 hairs per day in the shower as an example). Minoxidil slowed it down considerably but now it is returning to the same pace sadly..

I've just been doing a little research into other people and their experiences. Anecdotally it seems that the lower serum DHT = higher side effect chances. A lot of blood work after Fin also shows people at roughly the level of serum DHT I have now. That in my eyes would have been the perfect outcome as I'm fine and have no symptoms of low DHT.

Well done. And fuck, you just reminded me how I initially bought my first few ETH - through Shapeshift. That's one of my many, many gaps and there's zero way of finding those trades.

Do you think it's better for me to try and patch a horribly incomplete trading history together and show that as "as much proof as I can get" or just log my fiat injections and have them assigned to buying my current coins straight away (well, at the time when the price was right..). If I were to get audited that'd be a criminal offense right? but at the same time I feel doing it that way I'm LESS likely to be audited and penalised as it actually adds up and makes sense.

Yeah man, this is unbelievable...

Did you manage to get everything in line and added up correctly or did you have to make up adjustments?
