thanks Swimmy, i appreciate your lightning quick responses! it is really nice to have someone to talk about particularly around this topic haha... #1. it was a mix of intimacy and masturbation for me. so i guess the increased masturbation accelerated the MPB for me....:eek: #2. i think i did see a shed but i don't know if it was a different hair style or stress (currently under lots of stress). what are known saw palmetto sides? i heard rumors of it was sex related but i don't know if it has been confirmed. i never really paid attention to brands, i focused mostly on the dosage and volume. but i think i will try different things because i think it does make a difference whether your body can absorb or not. can you point me to where the supplement link is? i cant find it in the forum. thanks! #3. i'm still currently using minoxdil. 2 years going strong. i knew it was a committment so i started it . i really wanted to not only maintain but to regrow my hair even though it seems like a slim chance. i actually never heard of magnesium oil + Potassium, is this something that you need to mix on your own or there are solutions out there ? i'll do a bit reading on those because the dizziness hits me like crazy. i hope you are doing well yourself. i also tried lots of different things before until i just settled for the approved and proven approaches. the problem i see was the evaluation period is too long, it often takes 6 month+ to see if it works or not and it's quite a bit of investment with your time and money.

#1 i don't think it was stress related, i think it had to do more with a crazy life that i had during that 1 month. lots of all nighters, too much intimacy ....lol ( i know how some people say they can be unrelated but that's really all it was) now i look back, i believe my MPB was very gradual just that 1 month it spiked significantly where density in my hair changed quite a bit. healthier eating was really just including more supplements that targets at preventing hair loss such as the ones i've mentioned. #2 i will definitely check it out, would you recommend to start saw palmetto again? i dropped it because i just dont really feel like it was of any help and i dont know if it's mental but it seems to have some sexual side effects on me such as low sex drive and i don't get my morning wood as i would before. i've taken saw palmetto for almost 5 years before the recent drop. #3 i've used minox for about 1 year and half. i think my hair is a little bit thicker than before but i got mix feedback from people. never touched fina because im afraid of the potential side effects. minox makes my hair really dried out and it leaves residue on my hair which makes it look like i have gray hair, any recommendations on that? (after i wash it out, my hair is very shiny and healthy without it on). im also suffering dizziness and a little bit of black eye from it. i also agree with you that just letting it sit and do nothing about it is probably a bad idea unless you dont care much at all about at least maintaining what's left. i guess my real question is do people's hair grow back from a thinning state to near where it once was because it doesn't seem to be the case unless for those adverstisements and scams.

Hi All, just a little bit about myself i've been losing hair since 5 years ago at age 21 (WTF!) which was shocking to me espeically at such a young age. it occurred almost in 1 month duration where i lost an extensive amount of hair to the point where i was able to tell something was wrong. since it happened so fast, i assume it wasn't MPB, and it was going to grow it back so i decided to just let it sit naturally, after 6 months, it did grew back a little bit but it was no where near where it was. Base on the hairloss , i believe i do have MPB i've been trying several things but mostly on the natural end such as eating healthier, sleeping earlier and took supplements such as fish oil, vitamin B, saw palmetto(recently dropped). 2 years ago, i decided to take things up a notch and started applying generic minoxidil (5%) which i saw very little results. Current routine minoxdil (5%) twice a day, supplements: fish oil,vitamin b. Current progress: definitely not more than before, and it feels like the hair loss cycle is going to start again i am just wondering are there any success stories where people grew back a good amount of their hair from a thinning state? feels like most proven approaches (minoxdil and propecia) only helps you to maintain, and transplant can't really be done to to thinning patients. what other alternatives are there for people that are thinning ? sorry about the vent, appreciate your help in advance
