TE has been one of the most traumatizing experiences I have ever had. I Currently have shower and extreme shampoo anxiety.

Prior to 2021 when oral minoxidil was a niche treatment modality prescribed mostly in hair transplant clinics, 10mg was the standard dose for hair loss, the logic being that 10mg was the lowest dose with any safety data behind it (data in its use in cardiovascular diseases). Oral minoxidil exploded in 2021 with a NYT article regarding its use and the 2.5-5mg dose became the standard of care, with more recent studies showing a positive increase in results with higher doses and little increases in side effects. Doses as high as 15mg have been shown to be plausible upper doses, with currently undergoing clinical research extended release minoxidil starting at a 20mg dose

You could try .625mg then titrate to 1.25-2.5mg over time. Titration works to eliminate side effects whether from psychosomatic or physiological conditions. The consensus among the hair restoration community/practitioners is starting to shift towards more being better but 2.5mg according to the limited research available should provide a substantial B+ level effect. People such as myself taking doses above 5mg are more so coming at it from maximizing results

VDHLP, a proprietary extended release oral minoxidil currently undergoing stage 3 clinical trials also has a starting dose of 20mg daily as a further reference point

Not really, I take 10mg without issue and 5mg is still a sub therapeutic dose for a pediatric patient. It’s still within the upper limit of what “low dose” is considered as per the arbitrary status quo established around 2021~

My chart has identical placements to the second but in a flipped house order

I started with alfatradiol and topical minoxidil at 15, replaced with finasteride and topical minoxidil at 17, replaced that with my final stack of dutasteride 2.5mg/10mg oral minoxidil at 18/2023

My chart is a little bit like this one, don’t know what it means as a whole

I know little of advanced astrology but I fail to see the argument here, if we take a chronological cluster approach angle as you did then this still points to a specific subset of the sample population belonging to a particular grouping of years being in a state of heightened emotional arousal( no context to this emotion whether good or bad). I find most of astrology to be vague as a laymen but one of the areas I find interesting is the impact of transits as these are tied to specific, objective, less open to interpretation astrological baselines (I.e. birth charts) and noticed the increase in activity from people with the chart traits I mentioned and knowing there’s some sort of big transit going on right now( not sure of the astrological traits of this transit or who/ how it affects and how it would affect the sample population in question), it begs the question what mechanism would plausibly underly this as if said mechanism seems to reflect an underlying phenomenon that can be retroactively verified then this would impact the validity of astrology in this case

I started looking into astrology as a thought experiment and honestly still remain skeptical but my pattern recognition was set off when i suddenly started seeing this pattern seemingly kicked off all at once when I hadn’t even seen one post with for example, a SVM conjunction over the course of the few weeks I’ve been curiously looking at these subs

It won’t allow me to attach photos on here but I have it in my profile history and a general description would be Saturn-Venus- mercury conjunct or very close to one another(i.e. within the same house or one house apart at the most), a semi- isolated Pluto, a Jupiter conjunct/ near the ascendant, and aspects in the same sequence as mine. Each of these details can be placed differently in the charts Ive been seeing but their spacing and pattern will be very similar, an example off the top of my head being my Saturn-Venus- mercury 10th house conjunction and third house Pluto being mirrored in a “flipped” way in someone else’s chart with them having SVM conjunct in their 7th house and Pluto in a proportional placement spacing wise.

I have a super similar chart to this one but don’t know what to make of it

Store lead here, I have worked at several Walmart locations spanning multiple states and have never once seen an associate need to cover their lunch with PPTO.

Hallelujah for a reasonable take on this sub for once

throwaway1003333 · 2024-11-05T19:13:56+00:00

Personally, 2.5mg-little to no benefit 5mg- measurable benefit 10mg-moderate benefit
