  1. Hi guys,

     

    well, it's a stupid question i know, but anyway.

     

    i'm 23 days post op and last couple of days i'm kinda sick- Sore throat, a runny nose

    and today coughing. i didn't take anything for that because i didn't know if i should and because i can tolerate all of that, but i'm coughing today a lot, could it harm the grafts?.

     

    another thing, by looking at the transplanted area i can see that the right side shed more than the left one and i saw a pimple on the right side with a big white head, but after shampoo my scalp really really gently i noticed it's head gone, i know i should not pop them but i was really gentle.

     

    thoughts?

     

    thank you.

  2. Wheretogo, I don't take too much biotin due to it causing me to break out. I think as long as you find a good balance then stick with it :) love the idea of wheatgrass! I start my day with lemon water and 16oz of celery juiced. Great for digestion and absorption of minerals.

     

     

    what dosage of biotin you take each day?

     

    i grow the wheatgrass, cut, squeeze and freeze it.

  3. hi lukeyb1687,

     

    congrats on your HT, following your progress and it looks perfect.

     

    like yourself i don't use pills and even no minoxidil, how much biotin do you take each day?, i'm taking 600 mg and MSM 500mg (in addition B12, and vitamin D), i don't know if i should take a big dosage of biotin.

     

    by the way i'm drinking wheatgrass in the morning, at least for the first month. eat everyday 2 spoons of pumpkin seed, 2 spoons of Flaxseed, 10 almonds, and about 10 walnuts.

    i try to drink fresh squeeze vegetables juice everyday too.

     

    thank you.

  4. so, i'm taking biotin 600mg each day, i read in all kind of places that people take very large dosage of biotin, maybe 5000, i read that like vitamin C biotin comes out the body through the urine, but should i take more biotin than i am taking now?

     

    yesterday and today i noticed some pimples comes out around the mouth area. taking the biotin post op for about 13 days.

    i'm taking supplements- MSM 500mg, B12, and vitamin D.

     

    by the way, what is the different when it says like 10mg to 10ug?

     

    thank you

  5. hi guys,

  6. Well said hairthere. A lot of people have an fue procedure thinking it’s a type of of one foot out the door approach. (If it doesn’t work out you can always shave it and no one will be the wiser). With 4000 fue the guy in back of you at the movies will be able to play connect the dots with your scalp as he waits for the coming attraction to start so be very aware there is a ton of scarring involved with FUE. If you really want to go down this road, understand you must be on meds given your situation and a strip is the right way to go to begin.

     

    what is the most amount of grafts you can use without, as you well put it,

     

    "the guy in back of you at the movies will be able to play connect the dots with your scalp as he waits for the coming attraction to start"?

  7. middle of February.

     

    going to do just the front, about 3000 grafts, maybe more. i guess hair loss in my crown area will continue. what about the front? how can i know if it stopped? what with that hair between the front and the crown?, how will i know i will get good density?

    nervous also about how much i got in the donor area.

  8. hey guys,

     

    so the date of the surgery is getting close and i keep reading on the internet and it just makes me really nervous. i see that people say just shave the head it doesn't worth it or poor results after lots of months.

     

    i'm not going to take pills or minoxidil, only biotin and MSM, should i do the HT?

     

    how can i know that all the good results i see are not just products of the combination of pills, minoxidil and surgery?

     

    i am really confused, needs help.

     

    thank you
