Before PFS creatine made me feel like a million bucks but definitely increased shedding. YMMV. It also made me much stronger within a week. I will start using it again in March/April for the summer to bulk up a bit. Shedding or not.

In the end feeling good, energetic and confident is more important. To me at least. I learned this the hard way in PFS.

But once you get over the line and you feel better consistently and you start shedding you want to fix that. It is a joke from nature!

I said this before when I am in a downswing and not feeling good I get no attention, girls look like foreign objects and getting through the day is a task. My life is on PAUSE in a sense. It is like you live in a different universe.

Upswing/hormones working better girls smile at me more, clear interest from some girls, etc. You look at a girl and think "DAMN!!!". you feel good consistently.

I think acceptance comes in time and also need to get laid a few times as a bald guy to see that it does not matter. That I think is also part of why guys are scared. "Will I still get laid w/ hair?" The answer is obviously yes but you need to prove it to yourself by doing it.
