    BBen's Story - last update 15/08/2011

    Re: BBen's Story - (new 11 month photo update p4) I thought it was about time I updated so here goes... As I wrote in my last message, I ran out of finasteride & minoxidil in January. I finally got back on to both about 5 months ago. Since Christmas I've been pretty much shaving my head every couple of...

    Shed from switching from foam to liquid minoxidil?

    Hi Guys, I've been using rogaine foam and finasteride for about four months after stopping due to money problems (for around 2 months, I was on it for about a year before that). It seemed to be doing the trick and it wasn't getting noticeably worse. When I ran out of rogaine foam I switched to liquid...

    Re: BBen's Story - (new 11 month photo update p4) I've already been on very inconsistent doses, I completely ran out just over a month ago now... :( I will try to order some soon, but I think I've already lost quite a lot of hair since stopping.

    Re: BBen's Story - (new 11 month photo update p4) Now that it's getting warmer I won't be able to wear my hat all the time :( I'm going to try getting back into sorting my hair out. I'm going to give Miconazole a try as I've seen quite a lot about this lately. Will hopefully start updating this...

    My miconazole experiment

    bolshy, I'm also going to try out miconazole without anything else (I stopped finasteride & Rogaine about 3 months ago because I couldn't afford it). I'll try and keep track of things too.

    Skin Needling

    I've also been doing it for about 3 months, probably about twice a week too. I don't think there's been any regrowth but I think it's strengthened the hairs slightly and helped shedding a little.

    Re: BBen's Story - (new 11 month photo update p4) A quick update my hair is now worse than ever, it's my own fault though. Over the past few months I have been very stressed because of a few things and have missed a lot of treatments. Now that things are a bit less stressful and I want to get...

    Autumn / Winter shed?

    It's not quite 300 luckily. But I've gone from around 20 hairs coming out when applying Rogaine in the morning, a few in the evening to probably 40ish morning & evening plus now I'm finding hairs on my pillow when I wake up. I never noticed any before this shed started even before starting my...

    Autumn / Winter shed?

    Glad to hear it's not just me then :) I wouldn't quit my regimen as even with the shed there's been some improvement. I hope the shed doesn't go on too long though.

    Skin Needling

    Re: BBen's Story New 11 month update p4 - hair getting worse :( Yeah I have been following his threads, I'll take another look at them see what he's using at the moment. I've just cut my hair short again and now I think maybe this shed I'm on isn't as bad as I thought and that I may be seeing...

    Re: BBen's Story (23) 9 month update p3 So here are some pics of what's left of my hair :( Any chance of getting it back after a shed like this? I don't know whether to drop what I'm using at the moment & change it completely or just try adding other stuff to it (Fluridil for example)... For...

    Re: BBen's Story (23) 9 month update p3 Just thought I'd update again. I've been doing this for around 11 months now and I think I am now worse off then before. I think my temples have really receded a lot they seem very thin now more so then when I started. I've also noticed the top sides of...

    Skin Needling

    I ordered one from eBay the other day should be here in a few days. Hopefully this + finasteride + Rogaine will get some regrowth.. :)

    Autumn / Winter shed?

    Hi guys, Does anyone else experience a huge shed around this time of year? I've been on finasteride & Rogaine for 10 months now never having any major sheds and it seemed to be working pretty well, at least at maintaining it. In the past maybe two weeks my hair at the front seems to be literally...
