I'm about to give up on the Ray Peat approach.
My hair continues to fall out at an alarming rate since I tried accutane 2 years ago and will not slow down no matter what I do. I had a full head of hair summer of 2014. I'm easily a norwood 4 now. I seem to be recovering from my Levaquin poisoning, but it's taken a loooong time.
My skin issues seem to be getting worse. A strange crust has started to develop along my hairline and I have unbelievably bad dandruff and dry skin.
I am doing EVERYTHING. Vitamin D/A/K supplemenation, high calcium intake, avoiding PUFA. Nothing is working.
To make matters worse, no one can tell me anywhere online what accutane's mechanism of action is and there are precious few resources online to guide me through this. No one knows anything.
I'm supplementing glycine, taurine and caffeine in an attempt to fix any liver issues I might have. I THINK that my eczema (which appeared at the EXACT same time my hair loss problems started) may have improved but I can't be sure. Still, the hair continues to fall.
Ive been at this for many months now, and it's a shame that I havent seen any results because I enjoy researching this stuff and I like this community. But this clearly isn't for me. I think I may have to accept that I was robbed of my youth and get over it.
EDIT: If anyone is interested , this guy has the exact same hair loss experience as me. In the video, he says he attempted accutane in his early 20s. He's now 30 and he's completely bald.
