    Wow I didnt know that. Would you post a source for that? Also, what do you think of Rinvoq for LPP scarrig alopecia? Its an oral medication, btw.

    Hi guys.. has anyone with scarring alopecia ever been treated with the new medication called Taltz (Ixekizumab)? Did it cure it? Did it restore your hair loss?

    Rings very true. Appreciate this insight. Fyi to you and others here, the growth after 4 months postop looks remarkably good I admit. So I guess no min for me! But I will return to see Couto to get the remaining 1000 grafts. After that, I'll be freeeeee

    I cant take fin because my current state of health cannot afford its risks.
  5. wprevil
    So in my case since its been now 4 months post op, if I take min will I experience shedding? I dont want to destroy 4 months of hair growth progress just to shed and start regrowth all over again.

    Hi guys.. I'm 4 months post-op now and my doc suggested at the time of the surgery minoxidil to help the growth further. I have never it used due to potential sexual side effects but I'm having 2nd thoughts about that decision. I'm now thinking about taking it.. 2 questions: 1) I've got about 2 inches of hair growth so far. Will I experience any hair shedding? I dread that. 2) Has anyone who has used it had any sexual side effects?

    Hi guys.. Its been now 4 months since my surgery and have been noticing some hairs on my right side of the scalp falling out. Its always on that side though, no where else. I notice it when I see hairs on my baseball cap when I take it off. Its not a lot mind you, but its enough to worry about and get goddamn upset over. Is this normal that only one side of the scalp does this? Hair shedding should have stopped by now. Should I be worried?

    I'm 4 months postop. I keep having this sharp pain in both temple areas that has lasted for 3 the past months. I experience it twice a week. Has anyone felt this pain before? What have you done to eliminate this pain?

    Yeah my doc told me to wait a year. But I requested to see him earlier and he said he can assess me sooner as long as everything leading up to that point looks good enough.
  12. wprevil
    I understand but 2 - 3 years is just too much wait time. From what I've been observing here, 90% of patients dont wait that long for a 2nd round of transplants.
  13. wprevil
    Nahhh.. what others have said about waiting 10 -12 months sounds more sound.
  14. wprevil
    Come on dude stop trolling
  15. wprevil
    Ok I gotcha. I want more density in the area already transplanted. But damn, 12 months is a long time! Hope the doc can make an exception at 10 months
  16. wprevil
    Cuz I feels that I needed a bit more in the front temples area.
  17. wprevil
    How soon after a transplant can you get another transplant? Is it possible to get a 2nd transplant 4 months after your 1st transplant?

    Honestly, my hair before the operation grew much faster than what google suggests. But more importantly, your google quote doesnt take into account postop hair growth rate. If there are others who'd like to give their experience, I'd greatly appreciate it!

    Hi everyone.. It's been 15 weeks since my transplant, havent cut my hair since but the length is a mere 1.5 inches. I can't believe this is happening and I'm going crazy over this! When will my hair finally grow at the normal rate again??
  20. wprevil
    Are you sure?? Dr. Couto told me to use whatever gentle shampoo 2 weeks after my surgery.
  21. wprevil
    I know but it feels like the pinches of pain in my temple areas are contributing to the shedding which I interpret as permanent hair loss. I then end up massaging these areas in the hopes that that will mitigate the pinch pain. And as I've said, this has been going on intermittently several weeks after the surgery.. I'm 3 months postop.
  22. wprevil
    Appreciate that. Last question.. As stated, I'm 3 months postop. At times during sleep I rest the side of my head on the pillow because I cant sleep constantly in one direction facing up. The problem with resting on the side of my head on my pillow is that upon waking I feel discomfort (but no pain) on the temple area and fear that may affect my grafts. Again, its not pain but discomfort. Do you think this is cause for alarm even at 3 months postop? Do you think this is cause for alarm?
  23. wprevil
    Good way of looking at it
  24. wprevil
    Can this occasional pain be present even 2 and half months postop?
  25. wprevil
    So can sharp pain in the temples area sometimes accompany this shedding phase? Cuz I experience that sometimes in that area where shedding is happening the most.
