I'll try

I do but it is not running 24/7. Its only on for 7 8 hours and that too at night time.

Yea but in the current weather which is 34 celcius or 93 fahrenheit.

It turns to liquid at room temperature. Which makes it impossible to measure

Is it a good idea to refrigerate rogaine/minioxidil foam. As the weather is getting warmer in my country, the foam dispenses as almost liquid which makes it very difficult to measure and apply. If you have done this please share your experience. Also is there any risk of the can of foam to explode?

@Westview Rogaine is the name of the brand that I used

Its a little confusing as well. Even before using rogaine, I had a few instances of dizziness. After rogaine  usage however, the headaches kicked in which were long, intense and I couldn't get relief even with OTC meds. Now its been over 1 week since I stopped rogaine after asking my surgeon. I have not had a single day of headaches after stopping.

@ciaus not in my case. Im very precise about how much I put on. I make sure its no more than 1 ml in morning and 1 ml at night.

@JohnAC71 yes indeed, ill try

Hey guys. Im in week 8 post surgery. I started using rogaine topical 3 weeks ago. Im experiencing dizziness and headaches. Is this is side effect of rogaine? I was thinking about switching to foam instead of topical rogaine, would that help?

Note: Not using Finasteride.

5 weeks post OP update 

I have started minoxidil topical. Im experiencing alot of dandruff even before my surgery. Any advice other than Nizrol?

@pkipling thank you. 

@pkipling thank you. What shampoo do you use on a regular basis?

@JohnAC71 thank you buddy. One problem is, I have alot of dandruff, not on the transplated hair but the hair on crown and also sides. Any suggestions for that?

Sorry guys for being late. 

Here is week 3 post op

@JohnCasper I was referring to the sort of black crusts you can see on top of the hair. God forbid, grafts are in place securely. Much of the black crusts are gone now. I will upload a 2 week update picture tomorrow.

For sure yes. I have asked him, only after he allowed, I started sleeping on sides. 

Now the situation is that the blood that drys up on top of the root. Some of it falling on its on. And below i can clearly see the hair. Should I let it to fall on its own?

Yea. Its one week post OP. Is it okay now to change sides like normal (graft touch pillow)?

Here is 1 week post op

@Melvin-Moderator Hi Melvin, I wanted to ask when can I sleep on my sides again?

@pkipling definitely can resonate with what you commented prior to my surgery. And yes I do freak out sometimes at the thought of losing a graft or even if I accidentally touch the grafts ever so slightly 😂

so far everything seems fine. Just a mild pain on the donor area.

Thank you John. Yes I will be sharing the results.

Day 4 - Post OP

Below is 1 day post op. Very little pain if any at all.

Doctor here in my country, Pakistan. I had no other option really so had to go with him.

Fue Done

Here is a before and after picture. What do you guys think?

Doc said its a little over 3000 grafts.

Thank you Pkipling and Melvin. Looking forward to this.

Dear Fellow members, hope you guys are doing good. I have an FUE surgery (2500 Grafts)  scheduled for 10/25/2020. I would love if you guys could give me advice or recommendations/advice about pre and post surgery care. So far the doctor asked me to get some bloodwork done, 1 antibiotic pill before surgery and to wash my head with antiseptic scrub. Anything else you guys could share from experience would be great. I will be sharing my journey with you guys. Thank you
