7/11/14 Wow, it's been a while since I've been on here; namely because I've been feeling a lot better. But let me pass on my tips to you. The reason why I was losing hair was because my DHEA-sulfate l...

MET. FUCKING. FORMIN. I was doing so well... but now I guess the metformin has kicked in, and my hair loss is as bad as ever, and my skin is dry, and I'm tired all the time and I can't sleep. This ha...

Everything is getting better. My hair loss is getting close to pre-Accutane levels. My skin is pretty oily again and more even than ever before. My body didn't like it when I quit primrose oil at fir...

Today I had to blot my face several times. My face hasn't been this oily in... wow, I don't even know! Is it the glucosamine/hyaluronic acid kicking in? Is it the Triple Leaf Detox tea I started last...

Thanks for all your help, Auguriesofinnocence! Go forth out into the world and be merry. We'll still be here if you need us.

As for better shampoos, look for anything that says sulfate-free on it. Read the ingredients on the back: if anything has the word "sulfate" in it, it's too harsh for your hair. Also try to avoid sili...

Well, I'm losing my eyebrows and eyelashes as well. But those are flaky and dandruffy as well... well, at least my eyebrows. I think I had PCOS before Tane, but tane definitely made it worse. Dr. Bron...

Well, I've decided to quit Evening Primrose Oil... didn't see much of a difference in my hair, anyway, but it cleared up my hormonal acne. There's this theory going around that it's the lack of mois...

Gah. Camaroz is right. I never thought I'd say that. I had a conversation with a good friend who's in med school, and he backed up my concerns. Guess that means I'm quitting EPO. And I thought it was ...

I watch My Strange Addiction. Why? To see what horrible things people can do to themselves and still be better off than us. People that eat Comet cleaner. Pottery. Glass. Dryer sheets. Rocks. Cigaret...

Take my Negative Accutane Experiences survey: I'm trying to get as much information as I can about why we were affected and what some of the most common issues are.

Every time I see Accutane mentioned online, I have to jump in and warn them. I feel like one of those super religious people that goes door to door trying to save people's souls. And, of course, the p...

He's a jerk, but he knows his stuff.

Anyone have anymore advice for hair loss? mine is hitting me on one side all of a sudden. head is super itchy, it's been better with gluten-free but it's still there. i don't really want to give it t...

Ok, quitting spiro. I don't think it's going to help. DHEA is my main issue, which I don't think can be fixed, but I can try and knock out the side effects. Going to start on hyaluronic acid to take c...

Seriously, guys, this is what Roche wants. United we stand, divided we fall. Even our closest friends and family have said that we're overdramatizing, that we're hypochondriacs, that this is all in ou...

If we can stop one heart from breaking We shall not live in vain If we can ease one life the aching Or cool one pain Or stop one misguided person From taking Accutane We shall not live in vain.

Change your diet. Trust me, it helps. And I really did use to eat a lot of fish (I was pescatarian.) I used to eat chocolate, peanut butter, and nuts all the time, but now on my low oxalate diet, I ca...

Three important pieces of news: 1. I have PCOS. 2. I am now on spiro. 3. Everything sucks.

I hope that's true. I've been eating dairy like crazy since it's allowed on my diet, and calcium actually impedes oxalate absorption. I douse almost everything with parmesan cheese and love Greek yogu...

@Livetoregret, here's a picture of my hair changes over the past month:

How bad is your hairloss at this point? Is your hair completely dead and drive out also? Is it regrouping at all and are the new hairs finer and un pigmented? Well... it's hit and miss. I have som...

Apparently melatonin, magnesium, taurine, msm, and vitamin c help increase dhea. well, that's just peachy. No wonder I've had all this insomnia and increase in hair loss... one size does not fit all.

Well, I connected the dots as to why going low oxalate may be helping me. High DHEA = higher sensitivity to oxalates. There have been studies. I don't think the dietary changes are enough, though... I...

Your adrenal glands produce DHEA! High DHEA can be a sign of Poly Cystic Ovarian Syndrome, Tumor on the Hypothalamus/adrenals or some type of adrenal dysfunction /disorder like hyperplasisa (?) Cushin...
