@Orion Thanks for the links! I will read up on these options.

@MNK99 did you go water only or Breuss? For how long? Glad you’re still around man

Sounds interesting. There was definitely a period of time where I couldn’t even get a buzz from drinking. That is no longer the case though.

@MNK99 I agree with your comment regarding suffering for the short term is nothing compared to PFS. And at some point I will carve out time to do a fast. I’m skeptical on the benefits though. I could be wrong, but I don’t think anyone has reversed shrinkage by fasting. Still, it’s probably just...

@bruschi11 I have not done a long term fast yet. A few short term fasts but I didn’t see any benefits. Deep down I think you and Orion are right and I need to perform a long term fast. I just need to find a time period when I can actually do it and still go to work every day. Is that even...

@Orion Thanks for the advice. I have not looked into Accutane toxicity in depth but I recall reading that Accutane is a synthetic form of vitamin A and it does not get absorbed by the liver like pure vitamin A. It seems like the body would have rid itself of it by now as it was a very long time...

@vicecaz Very interesting...thanks for the response as I have not heard of Malassezia. I wonder if I can get tested for that(?) The doc gave me an oral anti-fungal medication for the next two weeks. He asked me to use a very gentle shampoo for now, so I’m not using an anti dermatitis shampoo at...

Hi everyone. It’s been a while since I’ve been on this board. To tell the truth, I’ve been in a bad depression. Really bad. The dermatologist gave me a shampoo to use and I didn’t check the ingredients. After using the shampoo for two days, I crashed...PFS style. Turns out the shampoo had saw...

@bruschi11 I’ve thought about doing a fast but I don’t think I can do that with the shape my body is in right now, and because of my very busy work schedule. I’ve incurred muscle wasting as a result of all this and I think I’m just too skinny to fast right now. I’m not excluding it as a...

@RebelWithACause Thanks for your response RWAC. I have not shaven my head yet, but that’s not far away. I’m just so nervous to do so because I have a very lumpy head. Of course, the thin comb-over isn’t looking good either...and it’s just too thin to cover much of anything. The dandruff/scaly...

@Helen This sounds like a joke...but I know it’s not. I will look into it. I’ll search for your discussion thread and read up on it. Thanks!

@Helen Thanks for the response man. I hope you’re right that my hair isn’t gone for good. I spent a ton of money on labs and am waiting for the results so I’ll share them when they come in. If all RU did was mess up my cortisol receptor then maybe there is hope for me. But I read RU destroys...

Update:The downward spiral continues. Hair is almost all gone from the top of my head and I have a thin cover on the sides and back. I look like a freak. Doc still thinks I will be completely bald on top/front by the end of November, with the sides and back taking a little longer. He...

You’re right. I know you’re right. I’ve just always been one of those guys that cares way too much about what others think of me. I know it doesn’t make any sense and I need to get over it. I’ve been working on that for years. I don’t think I’ve made much progress LOL. I don’t think anything...

Update for anyone interested: No change. Shedding continues. Scalp is on fire and itchy so I am taking ibuprofen to help stave off inflammation. I have no idea if it is helping. Life pretty much sucks.

Will do. Got any dosage recommendations?

Agree. Just wish I could find a doc who is willing to get me the labs I need. They’re always so hesitant to do anything more than the absolute basics.

Thanks @manu I have been online much of the day reading about how to shave my head, reactions I can expect, whether or not DHT will continue to attack after shaving, etc. I don’t want to but it’s looking more and more like I may need to do so, which is just killing me. Thanks for your input...

@HerrFisch @Helen My ARL sups are as follows: GB-3 Endo-Dren Paramin Endo-Pan Megapan I’ll check to see if I have B6 in my sups. I will have to get histidine. What would I take to chelate iron?

Yes I am taking ARL but only once daily. And to be honest I’m not consistent on taking it daily, but I try to be. But I had stopped while taking RU and my hair started falling out before I used Prog or jumped back on ARL. I just wish I knew how my system is so different from everyone else’s...
