[Shirazmn]

Jumping into your thread after going back and reading this. Yes, as you mentioned, our stories are similar. I'd read this thread before I wrote mine but had forgotten just how similar it was.

Regarding hair regrowth, my thought was this:

What about focussing on blocking DHT with reishi mushroom and "supplementing" it with a very low dose of PM (maybe 500 mg every few days). Seems like you'd have the potential for hair growth, without bodily feminization and would probably experience a very low (if any) loss of libido. 

I'm interested in the vascular benefits of both PM and reishi, since arteriosclerosis has occurred in my family and I have high cholesterol, so that would be a side benefit if you share either of those concerns.

Just a thought.

That's some good thinking. I am not sure about cholesterol. The last time I checked it was... never. Sooner or later I will...

About Reishi (or any other method) there are two or three things:
1) If it worked properly it would be advertised everywhere and the person that discovered that it regrows hair would get a Nobel prize (and would be very rich).
2) PM is the first thing that has ever caused some doment follicles to wake up on my head. So, from this point of view I wouldn't change it. It's not just about not losuing more hair (less DHT conversion) but it's really about waking up those dorment follicles and I don't think that Reishi does that.
3) The fetish side of me really like that side effect that comes with hair regrowth... you know... the chance that PM may "also" grow some boobs on you
