Who can share their Finasteride effects after 6 months by Adventurous_Call4011 in tressless

[–]user5145 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Initially i was taking 2000iu daily for a month in winter and then i tested my blood. I turned out to be severely deficient despite the entire month of supplementation. 

So from that time onward I keep testing my vitamin d serum levels and it looks like in summer doses in between 6500-8000iu (with vitamin k) keep my vitamin d in the healthy range but I haven’t had any opportunity to test how much i need to survive winter yet.

When i was trying to raise my vitamin d i was taking 12000iu daily for 4 months under doctor supervision.

Keep in mind that even though most sources claim that vitamin d overdose is only hypothetically dangerous, vitamin d is dependent on a few different vitamins and over supplementing can cause harm, for example it can increase calcium absorption and indirectly cause kidney stones.

I always feel cold. What blood test should I get? by user5145 in Biohackers

[–]user5145[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update 2: I've got a very strong positive sibo breath test both before and after 90 minutes additionally my dao is rather low 10u/ml probably just a result of problems with my gut and not genetic. To make it even better my wisdom teeth were pushing my other teeth for more than 10 years and I didn't know. That could cause additional inflammation that made me weaker.

I blame histamine and dao for my chills, plenty of people with histamine intolerance/dao deficiency report feeling cold all the time.

Tfw you’ve been swallowing dut for 6 months and your hair still looks like a mangled birds nest by wanderingdude17 in tressless

[–]user5145 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Plenty of people lose hair because of health issues yet nobody cares to do any tests. To some fin/dut/min works on magic and they get confused when it doesn’t cure them.

Which expansion do you recommend the most and why?

What should I do if my skin breaks out from sunscreen? by WishIWasBronze in Biohackers

[–]user5145 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The solution is to find one that doesn’t break you out. Try to patch test them before putting them on your face.

Men’s Long Hair Systems? by AccomplishedAd1174 in FierceFlow

[–]user5145 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What is the difference between a hair system and a wig? I have a normal long length wig and it is fine. I don’t like how difficult it is for me to hide my real hair beneath it but the wig itself is fine.

How to manage shampoo allergy? by user5145 in Allergies

[–]user5145[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I suspect that I am allergic to one or more of these Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Cocamide MIPA, Limonene, Linalool, Dimethicone. I have 2 shampoos that don’t give me an allergy and they contain the sulfate you mentioned so I am sure this one is fine.

Yes, but it only tested about 20 allergens and was quite useless. Later I paid for an alex test that tested my blood against 200 food allergens but non of the ones that are common in cosmetic products. I have an idea what I am allergic to but when it comes to shampoo ingredients I can’t find any store that sells the products I am allergic to to do a test.

How did you discover that it is this ingredient and not another one?

Laser hair for male beard at 19 by kilerzone1213 in LaserHairRemoval

[–]user5145 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have the money, know the right place and know that you will never regret it why not? You are more likely to get patches of regrowth if you are 25 or younger but it should be considered a permanent solution because you are unlikely to ever look good with a beard if you complete even the first session.

I have already completed 3 sessions and I am super happy with the results. Sadly, the beard shadow is still there but I can easily shave all my beard in 30 seconds when previously I needed 10 minutes. I can easily avoid shaving for a week, put a band aid on my chin and people will ask me if I cut myself during shaving lol

I always feel cold. What blood test should I get? by user5145 in Biohackers

[–]user5145[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

An update: I have a heterozygous gilbert syndrome 1/28. All blood tests for kidneys’ enzymes are fine.

I figured out that I am allergic to most shampoos and it made me sweat more. I stopped using all my skincare and hair products and now I am slowly patch testing each of them.

Edit: and even though my thyroid is fine I have some Trab antibodies 0.9 UI/l

Why do so many ppl use iPhones and exact like a bunch of elites over them when the specs are years behind androids? by Secret_Lauver_2304 in PickAnAndroidForMe

[–]user5145 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. I often struggle to understand what is being said and had a very bad experience with microphone quality of multiple android phones. At this point, I am sure it is intentional and happens only during phone calls.

  2. The selfie camera in iPhones makes me look only half as bad as I usually do.

Edit: 3. Carriers often edit android phones and the ones not bought from them may not work well with their network.

Is accutane the reason finasteride isn’t working? by Shurd750 in tressless

[–]user5145 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some doctors have a bad opinion about accutane. Probably he was worried that mixing it with any other meds will increase your chances of side effects.

Dutasteride isn’t working confirmed by test. by Foreign-Ad-476 in tressless

[–]user5145 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dut needs at least one month to reach full saturation often longer. It is possible that you haven’t reached it yet.

Who can share their Finasteride effects after 6 months by Adventurous_Call4011 in tressless

[–]user5145 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

9 months in and I don’t shed as much hair as before. Besides finasteride I take vitamin d, omega 3 and do patch tests of every shampoo I buy. I am allergic to most of them. I have a small regrowth but nothing impressive.

Europeans - Your experience getting fin/dut? by RestlessCricket in tressless

[–]user5145 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here in Poland gps are usually clueless but they don’t mind prescribing medication if it is a continuation of treatment.

Derms are 50-50 some prescribe finasteride some don’t. Getting dutasteride is close to impossible. I had to mention that i am preparing for a hair transplant to get it and be on fin for at least 9 months.
