I have now learned that the sudden back acne never before seen has coincided with the onset of some hairloss. This occurred because I did not want to lose my gains from a prednisone cycle I had to hop on, previously I have lost as much as 60 lbs on prednisone.
I zoomed the T injections into the stratosphere when I no longer felt the effect, which prednisone was cancelling out. I realized it was futile and stopped that experiment. However I now understand where my first every back/shoulder breakout of acne came from when a balding co-worker pointed out that at 46 I had pretty thick hair. Well I tugged on the hairline and the crown OH MY strands came out !!!
I now understand both symptoms are caused by DHT. That wave of excess DHT is subsiding as the acne is disappearing however DHT gets trapped ( forever ? ) in the hair follicle so the question is what do I do now ? Dad and grandpa had the normal receding hair line, an ever deepening M and I see some saying on cycle ‘shedding’ will reverse in cases where ‘baldness’ is not expected.
What can I do to flush out the existing DHT and does Stinging Nettle help or hurt the hair ? I see arguements going both ways, I think its great for boosting free T but pretty hard to tell if it is helping or hurting with embedded DHT. I started using it about the same time so it is hard to tell.
I worked from home several days and did not bother to bathe, I wonder if what I pulled was just some die off ready to go. Could be a false alarm.
Since I happen to have a bottle of deca which does not convert to DHT at all I may just use that and allow my system to completely deplete the existing DHT, then go low dose T until the HCG has clearly done its job and stop/PCT/Bloodwork.
Libido is off the charts from the adex and the 250 EOD HCG so I can take the hit there from the nandrolone in small amounts say 100mg per week for 2 weeks with zero test until fully ‘rinsed’ of DHT.
Wow I can get it at walmart, makes your hair thicker, count me in !
KSman, prednisone is so nasty, I was on 120 mg when hospitalized took me months to get off - went down to 130 lbs. This why when I needed 40mg for 8 weeks recently I stopped at 2 weeks and kept the rest in reserve - still at 185 lbs. My adrenals were already shutting down so it was tough to make a hard stop. I made the stop and consequently took a step back in the gut inflamation dept, still working on that.
The HCG is incredible, 250 IU EOD and I cannot believe how quickly my body responded.
