"Hi Frida - Happy New year with lots of healthy shiny hair!
Your discovery with the compounded minox with retin A and azaelic acid is very interesting.

Hey All, I met a pretty sharp Dr. a few weeks ago. He mentioned that it's very common for AA/AU patients to have low ferritin (iron stores).In simple terms, Ferritin is a protein in our cells where…Continue

"Hey,
Minocycline would have reduced the burning sensation, so that would line up. But it's pretty harsh on the system (like dropping a nuclear bomb) so not sustainable long term.
Seb derm (SD) becomes more difficult to manage when on…"
"If you had seb derm on your face, it's likely that you also have it on your scalp. It's mild, so no big deal, and easily kept under control.
I just backed up on the thread to try to find one of your older pics and noticed you…"
"From the pics, it looks like seb derm. Everyone has the yeast on their scalp, oily parts of skin, and face. Our immune system usually keeps the yeast controlled, but when we're sick, stressed, or on a med like tofa that reduces lymphocytes,…"
"Hi NewJack,
You're not imagining things and you're not being paranoid. There's some very slight thinning on the side, and around the neckline, I really don't think it's your AU.
Your scalp is somewhat…"
"Hi All,
Came across an article posted just yesterday from a Yale study on the success of combination therapy of Tofacitinib & oral minoxidil. Sounds…"

"Either way you needed to address the infected teeth, and at least you eliminated a potential issue down the road, so all good.
I've been tracking my bloodwork (every 2 months) for the last 3 years on a spreadsheet. Something interesting I…"
"Hi,
Sorry you're going through this. We all know how difficult and traumatizing it can feel. You're not alone here. At least take comfort in knowing that you do respond fully to Jakavi.
2 months on Xeljanz is too early to…"
"Hey Mastros,
Good to hear from you. Sorry you're going through a rough patch. Agree with your thoughts on Dr. King. He's a great doc and a wonderful caring person.
Interesting thoughts on the wisdom teeth infection. There's been…"
"Sorry the gut doesn't have anything to do with it in this case. I don't mean to lock horns with you but this while "Leaky Gut" BS is just fabricated internet fantasy to sell books and supplements. It doesn't exist as in…"
"Actually, your gut had little to do with it. The underlying issue antidepressants cause is adrenal failure and thyroid disfunction. I don't know if you ever had your DHEA tested while in withdrawl but it was probably that of a 90 year old man.…"
"If you were diagnosed without a biopsy, the dermatologist just guessed it was AA because that's all they can go without one.
The reality is that most antidepressants including Paxil can cause massive hair loss, including head, eyebrows and body…"
"Cocopuffz,
What makes you believe that you actually have/had AA/AU? Did you ever have a biopsy to confirm this?
I don't want to steal your thunder, but have you ever considered that your hairloss & other issues were actually caused by…"
