I have been taking finasteride and dutasteride for more than 10 years and my libido is the same It depends on the individual.

Side effects vary per person, but I still wouldn't want to risk my libido for anything haha.. Especially because of the high number of reported cases. If it was an extremely rare side effect, I would take it, but it's very common.

You guys are tripping. I've been taking finesteride since 22 and I it hasn't affected me. My test levels were still high last I had them tested.

Honestly it's a genetics thing. Because I sleep very little, drink a lot, use no skin care; my face just stopped getting older, I don't know what's up.

I was going to start taking it but didn't after reading so much bad stuff about it... My doc is pretty laxed with prescribing me pretty much anything I want but he warned me against it (although he said I could have it if I wanted to). I did some reading and got scared away.

Why'd you start taking at 22?? I'm 25 and have a receding hairline. It isn't too bad but by the time I'm 30 I don't know how I'll fair.

Hair starting losing its thick texture. I used to be able to fro it up without any products. I noticed what was happening and jumped on it quick. I still had recession even though I took prospecia but it definitely slows things down.

You probably have the gene that lets you age slower. I probably have that gene, too, because my face has been the same for the past 10 years.

Also, do you stay indoors a lot? I think being out in the sun ages people faster. There was a case where a 69 year old trucker looked older on one side of his face vs the other side. The side that was exposed to the sun while he was in his truck was the side that aged faster.

howlong does it take to complte four legs to recovery?

how long are your arms from left to right?

Iamready · « **Reply #224 on:** January 29, 2016, 01:54:46 AM »

I spend a lot of time outdoors and my car is a convertible but I suppose I would look younger if I stayed inside more.

I don't know my arm wingspan, they never measured it. I'm not really the person to ask about proportions because I don't really care much about it unless I start looking like a T REX. Recovery time to start walking will probably be 3 months after I stop lengthening. It varies person to person so that's a tough thing to estimate. Anyways, here's an update for anyone interested.

it's great that you've hit 4.2 cm!
by the time you do your 2nd surgery you should be at 5 cm for tibia, and who knows how much more you'll gain with femurs
that'll all be bonus!

Iamready · « **Reply #227 on:** January 31, 2016, 10:49:29 PM »

I think i'm at 4.5 cm now and in a few weeks i'll be at 5cm.

two questions:
1) How much do you lengthen a day?
2) If you are doing tibia internals, arent you afraid of permanent knee pain?

Iamready · « **Reply #229 on:** February 01, 2016, 12:27:31 AM »

I lenghten .50mm a day. As far as knee pain, I think that once the rods are out I can't imagine a scenario or a reason why my knees would hurt.

Did dror Paley tell you of his success rates with cosmetic lengthenings? When I say success I mean people who after they finished the lengthening fase, made a good consolidation and today are 90-100%

Iamready · « **Reply #231 on:** February 01, 2016, 01:04:08 AM »

I don't know what the exact stats are and I'm sure he will say people who followed his instructions recover 100% but I can say that he is really on top of things as far as keeping you from leaving the Paley Institute in a situation that could lead to long term issues. For example, he won't allow you to continue lengthening if you get ballerina foot. Or if you opt to continue lengthening you must get a muscle release before you leave.

There is one...Iamready check your PM

NP, PM if you have any problems.

Iamready · « **Reply #235 on:** February 06, 2016, 10:17:24 PM »

Something horrible happened today. I was coming back home from getting groceries and I was on the sidewalk all the sudden the sidewalk was crooked and my wheels skid and i fell off the sidewalk with the wheelchair falling on me. I landed pretty bad on my right foot. There are no visible breaks or bends but only time can tell, I came down on it pretty hard considering the curb was at least a foot high. I know it seems dramatic but i'm pretty shaken up by the incident and I hope everything comes out ok in the x-rays. I will have to wait till monday morning until the Paley Institute is open and I will update. Right before I went out I took a picture of myself with a 5cm gain on my tibias. I just hope I didn't lose any height from the fall,

Hey thanks for the update! It's always good to hear from you. Don't worry to much about the ranting, I know LL can be psychologically challenging so vent as much as you need to mate. Remember we are here for ya, and Vitruvius is also if you need to take to someone on the other side.

Hi Iamready

Thank you for your updates and new videos. I have read and watched everything, although I haven't written here recently.

sorry that scary incident happening to you but glad that it seems ok. Hope you can find out everything fine after X-ray.

I am also very inspired by your journey and excited to see your whole process of QLL, since I would also want to do the same, although it would be not as much as yours. I bet many other members have been inspired by you.

Take care and good luck!!

Iamready · « **Reply #240 on:** February 07, 2016, 04:30:13 AM »

Thanks for watching and I will defintely keep you guys posted as soon as I get word of my condition post x-ray!

Hi man! Let us know about your X-rays and Paley's opinion. I'll be praying for you.

TIBIKE200 · « **Reply #243 on:** February 07, 2016, 10:00:31 PM »

A question that might seem stupid. But when you stood up with the 5cm gain. Did you feel/see a big difference in height? I mean, did you feel alot taller at 5'7?

yagen · « **Reply #244 on:** February 08, 2016, 07:27:21 AM »

Take care and good luck!!

You are awesome, I can not imagine your effort with two legs. One for me is hard!!!

Keep on fighting!!

Iamready · « **Reply #245 on:** February 08, 2016, 06:25:56 PM »

Thanks for the well wishes.
About the height difference. Visually I definitely notice a difference that wasn't even there when I wore lifts because my legs look longer instead of a tall shoe and short legs. I also do feel taller and I address it with more detail in my video below. Thanks again all.

willsa · « **Reply #246 on:** February 09, 2016, 02:27:25 AM »

I made an account just to say this is the best, most informative thread I've read. These videos are excellent and I like that you talk about the good and the bad, you don't paint a rosy picture, and seeing a video transmits so much more information than any amount of text could. Please keep it up, will be watching. Thanks,

Iamready · « **Reply #247 on:** February 09, 2016, 05:19:52 AM »

Thank you. I appreciate that you took the time to create an account to say that to me.
