Hellouser's RU Log (with Minox, CB Nizoral and Saw Palmetto)

[marikeo]

Hey marikio.
Just sharing my experience using RU.
I started 4 weeks ago. I've been using minox for years, used fin but that didn't help. I was having a bad shed and decided I'll try Ru. Since Ru I noticed a huge reduction in shedding, from maybe 70 hairs a day to 20. And I am now seeing a lot of tiny hairs,all over my area of application, sprouting. .....

Pocco, thanks for your reply. It sounds like you and i are in a very similar position. My frontal hairline is very diffuse and full on weaker hairs. That said, I do still get some cosmetic benefit. My hope is that with RU, I can strengthen these hairs, reduce the premature shed, and get them back to being terminal. I know that is a lot hope for.

Hey UK, does the 2% work for you? Also, I just ordered some mpb myself, also where do you store the product and does it stay stable over extended periods?

thanks

Yes they make the solution the day they ship but I'm thinking of learning to do it myself like Hellouser has done, just need to get the time to learn it really.

Ive been using the 2% solution from mpbtreatments but will probably get the 5% solution next month - in all honesty I think a solid 10% solution of RU would do the job - but im not much of a chemist.

Also, is RU not available to US customers because it has not been FDA approved for AGA yet?

Update:

Its getting worse. Seriously, I can't go for 5 minutes without a raging boner. Its been about 7-14 days without saw palmetto. I was getting annoyed with the sexual overdrive and took a 550mg pill of Saw Palmetto yesterday to keep it down... seems like its somewhat working today, I think it kicked in about 12 hours later and im able to sit somewhat still at work. Thank god, lol.

OK, this is strange. Did you have previously also (before starting any treatment with saw palmetto) such a high sex drive?

I never had anything like that naturally occurring when I was young. I can get though some random boners during the day when I feel sleepy , but I believe not related to sex drive.

anything of note from CB so far?

Nope! I'll post later on though

[jlantern]

I'll post pictures eventually, to be honest that initial post took a lot of time as did my RU Guide, so I really don't feel like posting any current pictures at the moment.

I'm still hoping to try BNP but waiting on the results from current individuals that are on it.

Congrats Hellouser, some nice regrowth and good pics. Wondering if you could post pic of your current hair wet to compare with your early wet pics.

Do you know the longest anyone has been on RU, and what are the worst sides?

Sides, when experienced, at worst mimic those experienced on typical aa's. Incidence of sides experienced, however, appears (anecdotally) less.

Hey marikio.
Just sharing my experience using RU.
I started 4 weeks ago. I've been using minox for years, used fin but that didn't help. I was having a bad shed and decided I'll try Ru. Since Ru I noticed a huge reduction in shedding, from maybe 70 hairs a day to 20. And I am now seeing a lot of tiny hairs,all over my area of application, sprouting. The diameter of the hairs seem to be gettingthicker, and longer. And a lot of hairs that Weren't quite growing on minox have shot up. I am quite confident right now that Ru will grow back all these miniaturized hairs that we all look at and hope will one day grow, which never do just on minox. I started on my front hair line, and after seeing improvements used it all over. I started on 50 mg at the front, but knocked it up to 80mg on my hairline, and 50mg on the rest of my head. My hairline is really thin right now, so I guess I want to make sure it doesn't lose more :/
I advise to try Ru. Regardless of pessimists, I can see it really working. I will keep and update on progression and possibly make a thread like hellouser, documenting improvements once they are obviously noticeable

HU, nice pics and awesome log. Not sure if you answered this, but how much did it cost you initially to get everything setup, and how much after to get a continuous supply of the products...

Prices are listed on the first page.

I was told to apply the Minox FIRST then the RU, due to PG in the RU creating a barrier on the skin. Meaning it would block ample absorbtion of the MINOX if used after...not sure how concrete that is, but I am applying it first..waiting 30 mins, then applying the RU.

I apply RU first then Minox, I am going to switch it the other way around and see if anything changes

Doesn't matter which goes on first?
