bumping for help? Please.

Glad I am not the only one! I think it has something to do with the electrolyte imbalance, or a mechanism of the potassium channel - which through my research doesn't seem to necessarily mess with potassium at all. I just completed a hair analysis test and am waiting for the results. It is so...

Any thoughts?

Based off some research I conducted this weekend and prior experience, I was looking for some help as I start getting a bit in over my head. Hopefully the wiser individuals on the forum can help me out here, or at least point me in the right direction. @TubZy @gbolduev @bruschi11 Disclaimer...

I think the potassium channels is somewhere we should focus, not sure if that is possible? I posted in my other blog that I felt better when I tried minoxidil on Thursday and Friday. I am not touching the stuff now, but I really think the potassium channel is where I need to focus for full...

I had some recent lab work done and my AST and ALT are high: 177 and 71, respectively. Could this be causing some of the issues I am experiencing? Water weight, etc.

@joekool to follow up on your question yesterday, whether I felt any heart palpatations or cramps - I did not. To be honest, the last time I had cramps was when I was on that high dose steroid and felt like something got screwed up then. I had double calf cramps one night (again back in...

Definitely agree it’s potassium, and sorry if it seems like I’m messing with this recklessly. I just wanted to see the effects one more time and I now know it’s definitely potassium related. Thanks for providing that thoughtful post @joekool looks like I’ve got a lot of reading and research to...

I’m honestly not sure what is causing it but I’m peeing like a race horse already and less bloated within 30 minutes of my second application.

Testing with minoxidil again this evening, will report back my findings in the morning.

So the water retention has started creeping back up over the day. Not sure what to think of it. @gbolduev do you have any thoughts? Do you think it was something in the Minoxidil that caused the flush, water retention, or whatever is going on. I had some peanuts earlier today which seemed to...

Gotcha! What did you mean by the potassium / 5ar link being suspicious? Also, how long did you use the product for?

Just curious, what do you think seems suspicious between the 5ar and potassium link? Wasn't sure if you were referencing my post, because I am not sure I was even making sense - just sort of throwing stuff out there to see if others had better insight. How long did you use Minoxidil for?

@vicecaz Thanks for the response man. I took the steroid orally both times (2016 and 2018). I figured it might be a result of that because I was on such high doses. Something even weirder is today is the best I have felt in a long time. You'd think after a "mini" crash, if I could even call it...

@joekool Thanks for the response man! I really appreciate it. But I can't believe I didn't think of the water retention route. I've been having to pee like a race horse this morning too, and I thought it was all prostate related but maybe it is more the diuretic channel. Would minoxidil have any...

Hi Guys - I am going to go ahead and apologize in advance for two things: a) the length of this post and b) there will be a point in this post that I believe everyone reading this will think, "you effing dumbass, why would you do that to yourself, it is a slap in the face to those still...

Site is back up and running.

Yeah, I told him I'd probably stay away from it if it were me. Thanks for the follow-up, guys.

Man, that spray on amazon is step, but I might try it. Finasteride and Minoxidil left me with little choice.

Hi All - Was talking to my younger brother who tried rogaine and said he noticed side-effects within 15-30 minutes of the first application. What are your thoughts? I told him that the issues for me really started about 3-4 months after use of both rogaine and propecia together, not immediate...
