Lmao thanks for the kind words but I'm afraid I have some bad news on your sentiment. I now have hair, I'm no longer bald. 🙃

It's been a few months. Basically I'm almost back to normal. Of course just being older means my hair isn't gonna be as good now.





My one eyebrow is way thicker than the other. Pretty soon I'm gonna have a permanent suspicion look with the one eyebrow



Temples are thicker now. Only thing left is for the eyebrows and eyelashes to grow back. Body hair to come back. Didn't miss some of it but oh well.

This.
Luckily you have a good head/skull shape, your ears don't stick out and good cheek/jaw bone structure. I was able to stop my hair loss, but honestly, it's so thick and curly now it's just a hassle to deal with that I wear a hat most of the time. srs

Yeah I feel you there. My hair is just more maintenance, and more money to maintain. It was definitely easier when I was bald.

TRT, the liquid prescribed pump under the armpit and oral Minox (10mg pill) also prescribed, saved my hair/regrew my temples. Unfortunately, it also gives you crazy body Magnum PI hair, and turns head hair super curly and dark....I swear, I went from German to Jew in 3 months time

Interesting. Mine of course was autoimmune related so I don't there's any rhyme or reason to my regrowth. One thing I have noticed is my hair is way more curly than it was before I lost it.

It's been awhile since I posted anything on here. My progress is still going strong. I have one really thick eyebrow back. The other one is taking its damn time. Body hair slowly coming back. My head hair is back close to normal I'm 30 now so it will never be the way it was when I was 20 so I'd say it's pretty good.

So happy for you that you were able to regrow your hair. What did you do for your eyebrows and why did one grow back but not the other?

ETA: Your pupper is adorable!

Is it an autoimmune disease? I notice with my autoimmune disease, I can control the symptoms based on what I eat and there's no real medical explanation for it.

..So you might be on to something. Wheat Gluten is indeed one of many trigger foods for me.

honestly I haven't really done nothing besides keeping up on my vitamin d and k2 supplementation. I have been using Rogaine on the other eyebrow to hopefully try and get it to grow faster. I may go to a derm and see if they can do anything.

Yes it was alopecia which is considered an autoimmune disease.

Oh gotcha. Wasn't sure if you were using anything topical or not. Hope it grows back soon!

No I mean I do have a topical steroid cream they gave me to use on my scalp but never tried it on my eyebrow just worried with it being so close to the eyes.

Yeah my bad, just read some of the thread. Emerging evidence suggests Autoimmune could be Microbiome/gut related so watch out your diet bro. Worth keeping track.

I actually do this already. I avoid gluten as much as possible and try to eat prebiotic and gut healthy foods.

Mirin' gains brah. Mine still looks like a soccer ball but thankfully I still have my eyebrows and facial hair although the inside of one eyebrow is slightly lighter than the other. Have you considered going on baricitinib? It looks promising but the potential sides look scary so I'm holding off.

It's been awhile since I posted anything. Hair is still coming back strong. My eyebrows are both back, starting to get eyelashes back, and some body hair is appearing. Current pics below, my barber went a little too high on the fade.




Merry Christmas you filthy animals.

idk what is the reason. Ever since I started taking vitamin d my hair started to come back. My levels are back to normal now.

I'm on Oluminant actually right now. My derm said she has had amazing results and people have actually come off of them and haven't lost what they grew. No side effects yet and it's been over a month.
