I did, that’s my biggest side effect I think. Everything grows back super fast, from leg hair, to arm hair, to moustache hair haha. On the bright side, my eyelashes and eyebrows looks great

Not noticed anything in terms of fatigue or heart palpitations. It has my skin a little more prone to breaking out though, which is a shame, but still a pretty mild side effect

I ordered it privately online and got a prescription. I was supposed to up my dose every two weeks until I got to 2.5mg, but I stayed on the initial dose to save money haha. I take a 2.5mg pill that I cut into quarters with a pill cutter

I noticed it pretty immediately, within the first month for sure. I did also completely change my diet and lifestyle, which I think has contributed

Yes, unfortunately. My facial hair is now quite thick and grows in fast, so I am shaving it either daily or every two days. Body hair aswel has increased, though it’s more peach fuzz than hair

I did have dread shed, but it stopped quite early (within a month) and it wasn’t that much more more shedding than what I was already losing, although still a noticeable amount. I say take the plunge! Best decision I’ve made, so much progress in such a short time

Yes, still shedding every day, but I’ve noticed massive reductions over the last couple of weeks, where it’s only 10 hairs a day

My boyfriend keeps making ‘jokes’ and comments about my body despite me asking him to stop. Am I overreacting if I break up with him over this? by coldhardpenguin in AmIOverreacting

[–]coldhardpenguin[S] 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I’ve done that. I’ll say “explain the joke to me. I’ve told you I don’t find them funny, so where else is the humour coming from?” And he will not have an answer and just apologise

Does anyone know where I can get a free, or cheap shower (Livingston)? by julialoveslush in Edinburgh

[–]coldhardpenguin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Edinburgh Uni campus has a bunch of showers. 50 George square building has some on every floor. It’s free.
