In prrevious posts some kind souls explained how to purchase it here via Osakado. Docs don’t seem to prescripe the oral version here.
How are you guys doing on the pills? I am a female and afraid of getting started because of dread shed… Did you experience a dread shed or even more than one shedding phase?
How do you deal with hair loss at your workplace? Any issues there?
I am just checking in I guess. I don’t know any other female who has this issue here… there are plenty on the designated subs on reddit of course and thank god – that helps me not to feel completely alone with this problem.
What else do you do for hair loss treatment? I am seeing good effects with rosemary water intake or rinses.
I was diagnosed with pattern hairloss and accompanying TE years ago and supplements and whatnot did not do much. My diet is clean and I work out so all over healthy I guess. My hair, however, is thinning .. and I am still young.
