    Lightbulb My journey with RU58841 + steroids (with pics)

    Background:

    35 years old. I'm not sure what my Norwood scale is.

    Anabolic Androgenic Steroids (AAS) and Accutane (Skin medication) caused most of my hair loss. I stopped Accutane completely because my hair was falling out in clumps. I occasionally use AAS, and I will continue to.

    I started finasteride 7mg per week, six months ago, which caused total erectile dysfunction six months in. I reduced to 3mg per week and the only side effect is a slightly reduced libido.
    Finasteride treatment regrew most of the thinning on the sides, and also some baby hairs near the temple recession sites.

    My hope is that RU58841 will reduce or nullify steroid-induced hair loss.

    I'm currently on 70mg TRT per week.

    Day 1:

    1ml (50mg) RU58841 Pre-made solution in the morning
    1ml (50mg) RU58841 Pre-made solution in the evening

    I am mostly dealing with a receding hair line in the left temple area. The right temple area is also receding, but it is not so bad. The crown looks worse in these pics because of the wet hair (I actually never even bother to look at my crown :P).

    I also have some recent thinning of the sides, but you cannot see this right now in the pictures because the sides are cut very short (zero guard).

    Baseline Pics (wet hair):

    Right temple:


    Left temple:


    Crown:



    I know that steroids will probably cause further loss, so I'm trying out RU58841 to see how much stability I can get. I will post all of my results here.

    Day 2:

    Significant erectile dysfunction after only one day. At least I know that this chemical is most probably the real deal.

    I've ordered ethanol and propylene glycol so I can dilute the pre-made solution.

    RU58841 works as when I tried this from Anagen Inc Kane at 5% KB solution I had side effects. I tried oral and also had side effects, but since using Topical Finesteride I have been great as Hairloss stabalized with regrowth and side effects have vanished.

    Check the thread By Jazz should you want Topical Finesteride as they give forum members discount. They also sell Topical Dutasteride.

    Day 3:

    Woke up at 3:40am with my heart racing. I couldn't get back to sleep until 7am.

    (I'm not saying RU is responsible for all of these issues. I'm just reporting all anomalies)

    Loooooong time no see.

    Here's a summary of what has happened:

    *Waking up with heart palpitations
    *Insomnia (See above. This occurs every night at 3-4am) - I have no previous history with insomnia!

    My ED went away for week. Then I thought it would be a good idea to try and increase my fin usage from 3x1.25mg per week to 1mg every other day. After 3 weeks my sex drive went away almost completely and I had ED again. I stopped the fin 3 weeks ago and my sex drive did not come back!! I've now stopped all treatment.

    I need my dick to work. The thing is, I'm happy to take viagra for the rest of my life, I just don't want a completely erased sex drive. And it seems like this is entirely possible.

    Since stopping all treatments I can feel the DHT attacking my hair. My hair is very itchy (this is what happens when I take a DHT steroid). I'm guessing this crazy itch will stop soon enough.

    I'm not able to say which drug tanked my sex drive and gave me ED.

    I'll be taking steroids soon, and for that I will use both fin and RU again (since my male hormones will be way higher, I'm hoping it will not tank my sex drive and give me ED).

    The scary thing is, right now, my sex drive is about 1% of what it normally is, and my ability to get an erection is at zero. Completely zero.

    I've been off fin for 4 weeks, and off RU for 1 week.

    I'm genuinely sorry you had to go through this. Unfortunately, I know what it feels like... I wish I had access to all the information out today back when I started going to the gym. I became a gym rat and wanted to be the best version of myself, so I took all kinds of supplements and pills. One day my body couldn't take it anymore. I got help from Bioniche Pharma to restore my muscled and gain the strength I had before. You should be very careful with what you take! They may have greater effects than you may expect!
