Quadrilateral Lengthening with Dr. Paley

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?

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.

Wishing you well. Oh and make sure you respond to that PM I send ya.

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!

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?

Edit Post

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.
