Not yet, I"ve started iron and B vitamin supps though. And i have an endocrin professor appointment for next week
It could be that you have telogen effluvium caused by fin.
I’m 100% convinced I had that, as my hair texture dramatically changed the day after I took fin. My hair was wispier and lighter and started shedding for weeks. Hair texture change is a common symptom of telogen effluvium, as large amounts of hair change phases.
It’s hard to say if the hairs will come back if you’re predisposed to balding.
And how did your scalp end up?
Right now, the shedding and itching have mostly stopped.
I’ll wait a few months before I speak about regrowth. Don’t want to give people false hope.
Good dude your hair issues could easily be associated with being anaemic. Sort that out and see where you’re at.

OK thx man! I started iron and B vit supps. We’ll see my next blood work in 2 months.
Thats good to hear! Fingers crossed!
Yes my loss stopped like if I am on finasteride.
For ten years I kept my hair with little loss. It started again after my aromasin trial.

I had wonderfully good condition hair. Girls would say it to me. I didn’t even need conditioner. It is now bone dry, like straw, and brittle.
My hair loss almost completely stopped for the last dozen years I’ve had PFS. It also used to be thicker and extremely curly. It’s a lot thinner and straighter now. Interestingly, I now have substantially less body hair, including under my arms. Go figure…
This sounds exactly like me for 5 years of PFS. Over the 12 years have you had any luck improving at all?
So for the past 2 weeks, I’ve been noticing something about my left corner. I actually think I grew hair there. It’s much fuller there, even compared to pre-fin.
Unfortunately, finasteride killed the other areas of my scalp.
What do you mean? You shed all the scalp hair?
Got thinner everywhere else.
Hair loss hasn’t changed much at all in the last decade. And at 51, it’s hardly grey on my head.
Same here. But i think its just telogen effluvium after 1. sudden hormonal changes 2. crash diet (i lost 10kg out of 80kg within a month) 3. and severe stress on PFS. Shedded like rain piss, hair got less and thinner all over ,even eyebrows thinned and shedded. But since it was a temporary shock to the system im sure hair will recover and will be least shit i got from 4 pills of fin
I’m not so sure if it’s telogen effluvium for me. I feel like it’s androgen receptor upregulation for me (At least for the first 2 months). My face, scalp and hands seem oilier than pre-fin.
In any case, I’m just glad the itching stopped. It was so fucking unbearable.
Hairloss is stopedd totality.
