I'm outta here til this lunacy has been purged from this forum. I will stick to the discords and maybe very occasionally check the news section.
As a small update before I go since it may be a while before I return (as long as Janey is active here, I will not be):
My hair is looking and feeling stronger than it ever has, especially the forelock but also my temples as well. The hair quality is just better than it ever has been since I lost my hair originally. Forelock used to be thin scraggly frizzy BS that never grew past 3-4 inches long and it feels so much better/healthier now and seems to be growing longer. I had been using a minoxidil that already had Retin-A in it, but I've since switched to applying Retin-A 0.1% on the temples about 5 mins before I apply a normal minoxidil topical (inb4 Janey / William says I'm copying them despite the fact I've been using Retin-A for years). Still no increase in body/facial hair from 1.25mg (1 drop of 5%) minoxidil. Noticeable improvement in my temples since starting that, but hard to pinpoint it to just that since a lot changed around the same time I started using OM almost 2 months ago. Shedding really bad, especially along the temples and vertex, but I see this as a sign of good things to come / progress being made. The only changes I intend to make to my regimen before my next update is I joined the GB for Pyrilutamide (KX-826) which I will be trialing once they synthesize/ship it.
I know I said my next picture update would be around New Years, but unless the landscape of this forum is vastly different by then I think I will wait until essentially I consider myself cured of this before I post another update. I'll still be documenting with pictures for my own sake, but it isn't worth the effort of participating here as things stand right now.
