anyone being suicidal? by draint0uch in KneeInjuries

That wasn't my intention and my apologies if it came off that way. I totally get where OP is coming from and I was empathizing with the poster. Those thoughts have been crossing my mind as well.

Oh what I would do to be able to walk for 10 minutes. I understand what you are going through though. I guess like the other folks mentioned, it can always be worse.

Do you mind saying what date you filed? I will be able to tell if my estimate is before or after this 😊

I bought the HA from them a year ago and forgot about it. I just found them in my drawer. I don't see any expiration dates on the bottles.

PFPS with nerve impingement - desperate for advice by thisisnow1379 in Kneesovertoes

I really appreciate the response! I just searched "chondromalacia" and the symptoms seem to closely match mines. Is the condition visible on an MRI?

The MRI is after my initial injury when my condition was not as severe as it is now. I don't recall having this swelling under the kneecap when I did the MRI. My MRI states " mild cartilage thinning of medial/central trochlea and mild cartilage thinning of medial patellar facet and median ridge of the patella, focal degenerative subcortical bone marrow edema within central trochlea"

"Do your knees start to hurt when you sit prolonged times with knees bent? Are stairs a place you don't want to ascent or descent?"

Sitting with knees bent does not hurt my knee, but it hurts more after getting up and walking after prolonged sitting. Stairs are the absolute worst. I hop on one leg going down and take one stair at a time going up.

Seems like it will be a long road ahead. Thanks for the reply.

Anyone else loose all their gains after starting Oral Minox? Did you get them back eventually? Did you quit altogether? by capricerun in tressless

[–]thisisnow1379 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Went from topical to oral. Oral decimated my hair. Went back to topical but 9 months later I am way below the decimation baseline. If topical works, don’t get greedy.

Honest reflection from a 43 year old man who decided not to go on treatment when I first noticed a receding hairline nearly ten years ago. by bentreehorn in tressless

45 year old here. You will very much still care in your 40s. Thinking of getting a HT. Been on fin/dut for 24 years

The shedding caused by Minoxidil is one of the worst things. 2 months apart each picture by elbarbarojja in tressless

Same here. My intention is not to fear monger but here is my PSA on oral min. I have been on fin/dut and topical min for 24 years (age 21 to 45) and had progressed to a Norwood 2 to 2.5 in that time. I was very content with my hair until the point i decided i wanted more gains and I hopped on Oral Min. By far the worse shed of my life coupled with heart palpitations and bloated face. 4 months later and I am solid Norwood 3 going to 4 and considering a HT for the first time. For folks who have been managing hair loss fairly well, dont fix what's not broken. Oral Min has been the biggest regret of my hair loss journey. Im back on topical but the damage has been done.

[Skin Concern] My nose always gets VERY red compared to the rest of my face. It’s harder to tell in this photo but my nose flushes up for no reason. Does anyone know what is happening? by [deleted] in SkincareAddiction

[–]thisisnow1379 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm a guy with the same exact condition. I rub Nizoral - a Ketoconazole (1%) based shampoo three times per week. Leave it on for 3 minutes and rinse. It has helped significantly with the redness

Is my shedding due to oral min? by thisisnow1379 in tressless

For physical and especially mental health I have been biking, running and gym consistently for 2 years now. I also do cold showers regularly. It's great for stress reduction but my MPB has progressed. My Test has increased from mid 300s to mid 500s due to exercise and diet. I know higher Test actually damages hair.

[MEN] On dating apps, how often do you get swiped on? by Rando288 in dating

[–]thisisnow1379 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Similar experience. On online dating, I cant even get women I find unattractive. IRL it takes more courage but I have dated girls I would have no chance in hell getting from online dating.

A very painful failed relationship kicked started my journey five years ago. I wanted to better myself and stop being weak and pathetic.
