    TLDR A nutrition program improved a young woman's concussion symptoms.
    In 2019, a 23-year-old woman with a history of five concussions over seven years, who presented symptoms such as abnormal male pattern hair growth, premenstrual irritability, brain fog, sleep problems, and low energy, was treated with an anti-inflammatory diet and a supplement protocol. This protocol included betaine HCl with pepsin, turmeric, resveratrol, iron, glutathione, sublingual vitamin D, omega 3 fatty acids, an adaptogen formula, a multi-nutrient formula to support glucose utilization, and a multi-nutrient formula to support hepatic biotransformation. After 45 days, the patient reported significant improvement in her premenstrual symptoms, normalized sleep, and improved daytime energy. Her LDH and ferritin levels also normalized. The author suggested further investigation into diet and supplementation for treating chronic post concussion symptoms.

      A user did not respond to finasteride, dutasteride, and oral minoxidil for hair loss after four years of treatment and is considering scalp micropigmentation (SMP). Other users suggest the hair loss pattern may indicate alopecia areata and recommend seeing a dermatologist.

      Scalp biopsies are crucial for diagnosing hair loss conditions like Diffuse Unpatterned Alopecia (DUPA) and retrograde hair loss, as treatments like finasteride and dutasteride may not be effective if other conditions are present. Combining PPAR-GAMMA agonists with retinoids could improve treatments for conditions like Lichen Planopilaris.

      DHT is important for sexual function and mood, but finasteride and dutasteride can reduce DHT, causing side effects like reduced libido and erectile dysfunction. These treatments are effective for hair loss, but their impact on DHT leads to debate.

      The user suspects finasteride worsened their hair loss despite no abnormal shedding and reduced hair fall initially. They are considering various options, including switching brands, trying topical finasteride, oral minoxidil, or waiting for new treatments.

      Topical minoxidil and oral finasteride can effectively improve hair growth and slow hair loss, though results may vary. Consistency is important for achieving significant improvement.
