I used minoxidil for facial hair growth and experienced abnormal results, including rapid beard growth, fatigue, nausea, and eventually GERD-like symptoms that persist over a year and a half after stopping minoxidil. I also experienced swollen nodes, fatigue, joint pain, hair loss, vomiting, diarrhea, itching, yellow semen, and blurry vision around the same time, all of which have not subsided. I have tested negative for HIV and other STIs, and my bloodwork and autoimmune tests are normal. I am concerned that minoxidil may have caused these issues and am anxious about my hair loss and potential need for a hair transplant. What could be causing these symptoms and how can I address them?
