Somehow developed tinnitus in December, so it's been an uphill battle finding out why. Just checking off boxes at this point. Ill ask a doctor. I also developed tinnitus in my left ear and it was the result of stress as well as loud music. Funny thing is I only have it in one of my ears. Just try to use noise protection ear plugs at concerts, and avoid listening to things tooo loud. Three is no cure for tinnitus and there also isn't a single cause that the doctor will be able to link it to. And minoxidil causing tinnitus is highly unlikely.

I think its probably something like a viral infection or something that has just never been correlated. I've had good results in lowering the pitch with a chiro and magnet therapy. I will agree my stress elevates it 100%. And I am very stressed lately so, both ears too. The pits. Link to what I did to grow my hair back without a transplant. 2 year update.

Senior Member Shifty Posted November 7, 2022 Author Senior Member Share Posted November 7, 2022 Hello all. Just an update. 5 years since my initial post. I stopped derma rolling regularly. Haven't used Minoxidil in a month or 2. I order Nanoxidil by mistake and no difference in hair at all so far. I have been drinking horsetail tea which I have read good things about as well for a few months. This is bed head, woke up brushed teeth took some pics. 1 Link to what I did to grow my hair back without a transplant. 2 year update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member Shifty Posted February 17, 2023 Author Senior Member Share Posted February 17, 2023 Just wanted to update. I re-ordered nanoxidil but by mistake selected minoxidil. I used it for like a week and hair started to fall out. All that hair on crown and temples above this post is basically thin again. So annoying. 😫 Safe to say I am not using minoxidil again and hopefully the hair grows back using nanoxidil. This isnt a for or against minoxidil just me posting results as they happen.

Never. although even though I've had great results doing what I've been doing, it's never been an option I completely took off the table. If anyone cares I'll be trying a new product that's on the way. Read both sides of the story on it but I'm a guinea pig so.... Nutrafol. I shall update on any changes if at all.

Senior Member Shifty Posted February 23, 2023 Author Senior Member Share Posted February 23, 2023 As always documentation. Just now. This happened in maybe 2 weeks time. I do notice a bunch of small hairs in the front so hopefully on the rebound again. I started using Minox but of note I am also extremely stressed from work so. I will update again if I see gains from starting nanoxidil few days ago and Nutrafol pills and collagen tomorrow. Link to what I did to grow my hair back without a transplant. 2 year update.

LATom1980 Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 Shifty - you’ll need 4,000 - have you looked into Turkey for the procedure? I’m looking at Turkey - $3,000 Plus airfare - Boston- hair is similar to mine they said 4,000 - they want $16,000 over here 😂- Turkey has clinics that look like Beverly Hills clinics. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member Mountinvan Posted February 27, 2023 Senior Member Share Posted February 27, 2023 Gatsby is right. Turkey is a lot if window dressing for tech mills. It’s a lottery on whether you will get the good techs. Save up and fly right. Surgery is hard to fix so give yourself the best possible chance. Go to a reputable doctor who is involved in the surgery. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Shifty Posted March 1, 2023 Author Senior Member Share Posted March 1, 2023 Took a cpl pics with sunlight coming in through window. Already seeing the little white hairs growing back, maybe even more than before? We shall see. I am thinking a full month or so should get a better gauge how they are growing back.

You have shown not only that it's possible for some people to grow a decent amount of hair back without having a hair transplant, but also that it's not always easy to maintain it over the years. 1 Al Forum Moderator (formerly BeHappy) I am a forum moderator for hairrestorationnetwork.com.

Yeah I've said in this thread a few times the one thing I do well is sticking to the regimen. It can be annoying because who wants to do some of the ish I do every morning and night and take all of these supplements every day but if I want to see and keep results, I have to be consistent. I also think if this goes well this might be a relatively good nod toward nanoxidil. I was never really sold on it and unless minox and nanox do oogats similarly, it clearly works.
