Been using spearmint leaf supplements & food grade USDA EOs (internally) and this stuff is amazing in what it can do even in a short period of time. The 4 month thing is bunk. Problem is I can't make it too far because sides are really bad...mostly dehydration. Seems to mimic spironolactone almost to a...

Wasn't sure where to post this so I'll leave it here since it is wounding related ...but guys check this out and tell me if I'm imagining things?? Was messing around a few days ago with some dmso & essential oils and one of them (prob dmso) gave me a burn. Pics are same spot on crown and...

Using PEO for awhile now both topically as well as internally (it's great in a diet coke). No regrowth but a slight improvement in density. I feel it's more effective when consumed but does give some finasteride'ish sides. Also make sure of the country of origin...some from india are not...

Sometimes I'll take a pic (flash on) but mostly I judge by the pain. Once it hurts really bad I figure job done. 2mm is crazy I don't see how some of ya'll do it. 1.5 and i'm whining like a sissy...snot dripping out my nose and everything lol.

Pen at 1.5ish every friday but I'm currently skipping a week. Min 2x daily and peppermint oil orally (I might catch some hate on that but I honestly feel it helps). Yes I apply min after needling. Nizoral 1% on occasion. I'm sure the minoxidil plays a role in it but in the past I did a run on the...

Yeah I have and several others as well....time will tell how much for me though....still seeing improvement.

I know it's common to get swollen lymph nodes with needling but has anyone else got swollen mastoid (bony area behind ear) ? I've read it happens with ear infections but my ears feel fine and it happened day after needling session.

Probably depends on tolerance and the needle count of your cartridges. I'm using the 12s and its pretty painful when doing it but subsides quickly when done.

Do you have a dr pen? There is no comparison...its like a little jackhammer. I don't even know if I could replicate it with a roller.

As much as I can stand and I'll admit I'm a sissy. Best I can do is a few hard passes at 1.75 and by then I am making noises like chuck norris is giving me a spinal adjustment. At first I didn't bleed at all but the last couple times there has been blood. Dunno maybe new blood vessels are forming?

I thought it was just me. Like you said but it comes back quickly seems within 2 weeks. I think it's a good thing.

Yes with pen being main factor

Thanks. Its actually about 3 if you count minoxidil and some light rolling before I got the the pen. As for routine about the only thing consistent is Dr Pen @ 1.5mm every friday (12 needle cartridges). Couple times I've hit it mid week at .5 as well. Few times I've used the roller right after...

It wasn't that bad for me the year I was on it. Just a minor decrease in libido...I was already well into my 30s though.

no finasteride but that's something i'm a little torn on. I know I will eventually but should I start now or strengthen what I can and start when I feel I've maxed out with the needling?
