I only found out by accident that we're back in business, even if an older backup. I hope that the return of the forum is promoted enough to reach many of the users.

The only thing bile acid factors and ox bile did for me was give me the runs.

Hair test #3. It looks like I'm out of four lows (and I don't feel as rough after going to the gym already). I have been a Fast 4 the entire time. My practitioner mentioned evidence of a possible viral infection (though I don't remember what she said indicated that), and I do seem to have EBV...

TEI has told me that I need more dairy in general, so maybe I need to do a better job yet.

Throughout my struggle with hairloss, fin use, and PFS, my allergies have seemed to vary depending on my condition. Seasonal allergies started for me in my late teens around the same time that my hair loss took off. Interestingly after beginning fin, and stopping my hairloss (while otherwise...

Agreed, I feel it as soon as I come off the supplements. How are others proceeding? Are they doing their next hair tests at month two of their three month treatment, in order to have no gap in dosing? I thought it made sense to do the next hair test after the round of supplements has been...

Around a month since finishing my second TEI cycle. Will be sending in a new hair sample next week. Since stopping the supplements, it is as if I feel a bit of a relapse. I definitely feel better while on the supplements (second time I have experienced this). My gut remains challenged, and I...

Was using consistently for 7 years without issue. Entered a stressful period, and crashed. Continued using for months after the crash.

Cystic Acne Early on in my usage of fin, it didn't seem to work right away. I had a significant breakout of cystic type acne on my back, and some deep under skin cysts on my face (also some bad allergies). This continued over a painful summer (until I tried accutane to deal with it, FML)...

This is a false choice, and demonstrates the complexity of this issue. In the 5 years I was on Finasteride, my hair loss (which had been rapid) had nearly stopped, while I had excellent libido and energy. I wish I could get back to that state.

My experiences thus far (mid cycle 2): I generally felt good on cycle 1, certainly better than I had been. I came out of it in four lows, and despite noticing the energy hit a lot (and being almost totally prevented from going to the gym), I actually felt better in four lows than I had at the...

Yes. TEI alone.

As an update, more of the same. Cystic acne on my back and face, and libido that I haven't felt in years. Onward and upward. Edit: I should also clarify, I'm not sure libido is the perfect word to use here. I would say my interest in sex has only risen marginally. However my morning erections...

Aren't you supposed to take TEI supplements with food for absorption?

Mine has been consistently on my back and in the chin / mouth area. It began after starting fin, and continued throughout using it (despite using accutane at the same time to combat it... ugh), and has continued to a lesser degree in PFS. This has definitely caused a flare up however. On the...
