Yeah I actually did experience quite a bit of pain. My doctor at first said it was just a normal amount of breast tissue and told me to continue on the finasteride if I wanted to. Then it got worse and he confirmed it was gyno. I also saw people talk about lymph nodes. I thought that at first but I...

Yeah that's gyno, I got the exact same thing in February. There's a couple of guys on the forum who managed to clear up gyno and stay on finasteride with letrozole. I'm going to run nolvadex for a week and then try finasteride again while staying on the nolva for a month or so. It seems to be the only option...

Go onto webdoctor.ie. You pay 25 euro and fill out a few questions and they will mail you a prescription. Six month supply of Fintrid is around 30 euro.

Fairly sure Frusciante had to have a hair transplant on a patch of his head that got ****ed up from his 5 years of heavy drug abuse, don't think it was pattern baldness

I've been using minoxidil for around 6 weeks. Shedding started at week 2 and still going. Losing around 30 hairs in the showers when washing. Is there a general consensus on how long the shed lasts or does it vary considerably? Basically, when should I start worry about one of those permanent...

Yeah definitely some extra shedding, hair seems to be a bit thinner in certain parts as well but nothing that freaked me out or anything. Hopefully will start seeing results soon

Not sure about switching from liquid to foam but I've been on the foam now for a few weeks and it hasn't effected my eczema at all. I used to have really bad dermatitis on my scalp and it seems fine even though I'm applying the minoxidil twice a day

I got gyno a month back from 2 weeks of finasteride. The symptoms were basically burning nipples and aches all round my chest muscles. I've got some lumpy tissue around the pec area, luckily it's not visible. I'm gonna stay off finasteride for a few months and try it again at a lower dose. The tissue has...

Yeah I think I'm gonna go with s5 cream and maybe add minoxidil for now and see how that works out. Yeah after a week on finasteride my scalp felt better than it's felt in years. No itching, no irritation. I was actually pulling at my hair in work just because I could lol. About 5 days after stopping...

I have been using 1% keto shampoo, that may be the problem. I think I'm going to try use s5 cream and keto shampoo together and see how my gyno symptoms feel over the next month or two and assess whether i should try finasteride at a lower dose. Why did you reduce the dose of finasteride and how did it work...

Yeah it's probably safer to not use it although I'm seriously bummed out that I can't because it's the most effective treatment and I really didn't want to commit to using minoxidil twice a day for many years to come. I'm actually using keto shampoo at the moment. Have only used it 5 or 6...

So after stopping finasteride because of early onset of gyno, symptoms seemed to have stopped a week later. My scalp is also starting to get itchy and irritated again. Could any members here give me some advice on what my next course of action should be? I have been to three doctors about the...

Can I use a SERM while on finasteride or will that completely throw my hormones out of whack?

My EOD dose is due tonight so I'll probably take that and then see what the doctor says tomorrow... What do you think the pain going away could signify? I'm a slight bit reluctant to continue taking finasteride as I've heard that gyno becomes irreversible at a certain point

Do you think I should discontinue use? The fact that the pain is gone is reassuring to a degree but I have lumpiness around the pec area on each side, even some lumps in the armpit area
