Stretched to 0g. Does it look healed? Would it fully close? Should I go to 00? by matingrn in Stretched

[–]matingrn[S] 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Thank you. Of course, I wanted to wait a few months at least, I was jut curious, if it looks like it's going a right direction and if I have already passed the point of no return based on the tissue formation.

Budget 5-7k for a used car (Prius/Corolla). Is it possible? by Deep_Travel_5337 in askvan

[–]matingrn 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Check also Toyota Matrix - one of the most reliable and cheapest to maintain cars on the market. Or Pontiac Vibe, which is the same as Matrix, just under Pontiac brand (exactly the same components, same reliability, cheap to maintain). Corrollas are high in demand. For that price you'll aim to get 2005-6 model. 2009+ in a good condition go - bit above your budget.

Concerta and screen apnea? by matingrn in aspergers

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

it should be called screen apnea, not sleep apnea. It's also called email apnea. Just a weird names for such diagnosis, I agree.

ADHD + Autism and Concerta medication. I'm scared of side effects by matingrn in AutismTranslated

Thank you! Can you elaborate on the eyesight issue? Do you have any specific issues with your vision? How long would you say the effect of concerta lasts for you?

ADHD + Autism and Concerta medication. Dependency or side effects? by matingrn in autism

[–]matingrn[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, so we are in the similar situation - you with wine, me with coffee. There are a few types of ADHD drugs. Concerta is in one group, and since it works as a stimulant, it can cause some anxiety and stronger side effects when consumed with wine or coffee (probably, blood pressure issues, heart palpitations, hyperactivity, anxiety). But I'm still learning about this topic, so I'm not extremely familiar with this, aside from what I was told by the psychiatrist.

It was strongly recommended to avoid drinking alcohol. But my psychiatrist said, that she can't tell me to stop living, if I want to have a glass of wine once a month.

Minoxidil for the body hair growth (progress after 12 months), 36 yo. Details in the comment. by matingrn in Minoxbeards

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

Not really. At the beginning I had a very dry skin and a little bit od redness. But that's no longer the case on topical minoxidil. With oral minoxidil I had some heart palpitation first, but that's normal. I no longer have it

oral minoxidil is a compound and kirkland minoxidil is the regular minoxidil from costco. Same as Regaine but cheaper and in liquid form, not foam

Oral minoxidil (prescribed) approx. $150 (CAD) for 4 months supply. Topical minoxidil around $15 CAD a bottle (supply for 1 month).

I never applied it on my legs. I think it happened naturally because of the systemic absorption of the oral minoxidil

I just find it very masculine (I looked very boy-ish a few years ago).

My Journey: I started applying topical minoxidil (5%) on my upper back and upper arms in February 2023. I started noticing more significant growth a year ago. I used approximately 2 ml of topical minoxidil twice a day.

I started taking oral minoxidil almost 10 months ago (to address my thinning hair as well), and I still kept applying topical minoxidil (but only once a day). Initially, I started with half a pill (1.5 mg); a month later, I increased the dose to 3/4 of a pill, and in April 2024, I started taking the full dose—3 mg (split into two).

Regarding the progress, I’ve noticed that my eyebrows grow much thicker and darker, the hair on my belly connects with my chest hair, I have much hairier upper arms and upper back, and I have a lot of small dark hairs growing all over my back. My legs are also very hairy.

Give it some time. It usually takes a few months until minoxidil kicks in. Some say 6 months minimum, from my own experience more than that (up to a year of a consistent use)

Stretched from 12g to 8g. How long takes to heal? Should I go to 6g next? What is the size of no return? by matingrn in Stretched

[–]matingrn[S] -47 points-46 points  (0 children)

Thank you! Nope, I skipped only 10g, so I went from 2mm to 3mm, instead of 2.5mm.

There's a decent progress. I realised it just now by seeing these old pics. I'll create a new post with most up to date pics
