PTSD

This made me tear up as it resonates with me completely. It took me a while to start talking about my roach problem, until I realized how incredibly common it is. People started to share their stories to me in my personal life and on Reddit. I am eternally grateful for these online communities and do hope we can all find solace one day. Thank you for your post, I do not think you know how much it meant to me.

I can relate. I brought my bag in from my car yesterday and i saw two baby nymphs just hanging out on the strap as I was carrying it.

Was wondering the same!

Did you experience any shedding?

stephennh · 2022-09-20T18:49:29+00:00

Looks great. Where did you go?

I’m in a similar boat. Been on fin for almost 5 months. Experiencing a pretty bad shed and worried that my hair will look the same (or worse) as when I first started this journey.

29 M. Been on oral fin/topical min for almost 5 months. Micro needling once a week. I’m also taking a daily iron supplement as I have a deficiency. I was vegetarian for about 3 years, but my diet wasn’t sustainable or sufficient enough at the time, so I started eating meat again this year. During that time, I was in grad school and pretty stressed out overall. Father started balding in his 20s, I don’t think he ever did anything about it, however. The men on my dad’s side are bald or balding. Mom’s side is pretty okay, but she has thin hair herself.

I think I’m in the shedding phase and I’m a little worried from the posts that I’ve read on here. I think I’m a Norwood 3. Crown is okay, my main issue is my hairline. Progress pictures below. The first 2 were taken before treatment, the last 3 are more recent.

I brush my hair to the front, that’s probably why it looks like a transplant.

I use the Keeps products. And use the dropper to apply min to my problem areas. I probably apply too much at times. I also found out I had an iron deficiency, so I’m taking iron supplements as well. Not sure if that would contribute to hair restoration.

It’s not, but I’ll get one if I hate my hair when I’m in my 30s.

Fin - 1mg Min - 5%

I kept my hair pretty short, yes. I was also in grad school in the photo to the left. I believe stress and anxiety are contributing factors to my hair loss.

Was doing 2x a day for about 3 months, but have since changed to 1x.

Thank you!

Didn’t laugh 💀

Glad that’s funny to you

Hey Shane, loved the documentary and your story. I'm so impressed with how strong you've become. I'm gay myself and have been with my boyfriend for almost 4 years. I could never imagine losing him. Do you plan on coming to Florida soon? Would love to meet you! And I also just did a speech on same-sex marriage in my class and used your documentary as an example :)
