I think I’m fully recovered from Minoxodil damage

12:42 AM

In the first pair of photos, the left is from March and the right photo was taken two days ago, on Thursday. For a long time I have wanted to replicate that photo on the left from March, but my face was fucked from minoxidil damage and aging, so I couldn’t. I genuinely looked years older in the span of just a few weeks.

The next set of photos are prior to minoxidil and after minoxidil. My face got fucked completely. I became so completely fucking unrecognizable. Just look at it. Sagging face, dull colored skin, eye bags, nasolabial folds, just terrible. It aged me tremendously in just a few weeks.

Look at that shit. I posted about it on Reddit and you know what? I got gaslit by people saying it doesn’t cause any aging. I posted probably 10+ examples of other people experiencing the same effect in their before/afters and they say it’s all in my head. People in real life literally told me I looked fucked up and I’m gaslit saying there’s no difference.

Anyway I think I’m fully recovered now. Of course there’s lingering doubts and such, but I think I have.

The last photos are of the foods I ate again after breaking my fast: dried cantaloupe, dried passion fruit, dried mulberries, dried plums, dried figs, dried apricots, and dates. These are expensive exotic dried fruits (except the dates and dried apricots which are cheap and not so exotic) purchased to celebrate my fast ending. I didn’t eat the whole thing, just around half of it over the span of an hour or two, I ate very slowly.

Then I had some dried chickpeas and edamame, which I ate the whole thing, also took a B12 supplement and vitamin D3 + K2. Whew. Now I’m back on track.

After a few weeks, I’m going to try microneedling. I hope this doesn’t fuck up my face like minoxidil did. I’m only going to try this because I have some doubts I’m fully recovered, but who knows. I think most people won’t be able to tell.

When I get back to my parent’s home, I’m going to shave and retake those same pictures in those same places and swearing the same shirts, as those last two before/after pictures, to really compare and solidify that I have fully recovered.

Anyway, that was my day today.
