I'm going through the same sh*t. I am going to be significantly more aggressive when I have my next doctor's visit. It's criminal to tell a 20 something year old that a score below the 300's-400's is nothing to worry about. It's f*cked up. And every PCP has bought into this way of thinking...
That's what I've been doing the past 3 months. Eating clean and lean and smaller portions. Lost 30 pounds so far and hope for 60 by this summer.
I just don't want to lose my hair along with the weight
You do know an unbalanced testosterone/estrogen ratio can alone cause hair loss, much similar to mine, right?
I know I'm the one asking for advice here, but it really pisses me off to understand just how many people on here have adopted this mentality that finasteride is the fix for every...
If you would have read through this thread correctly, you would've seen that I corrected 5 months to 2 months. I did take it everyday for a year before taking a short break. Gained no ground.
So update.....I had an appointment with the Hair and Scalp Institute in Nashville yesterday. Basically all they do is treat hair loss. They explained that they try to find out what is wrong with the body that is causing the hairloss BEFORE they try to sell me their laser treatments and the...
So if proscar doesn't work for someone, is it not supposed to have NO effect? Because my hair rapidly shed out during the first few weeks of taking it. I know it was the pill because I wasn't shedding at that rate beforehand, I mean it was night and day.
I mean, am I to understand that if it...
Now that I think about it, it wasn't 5 months, more like 2 at most. But I say all this to say I haven't even gotten back to baseline. I stayed on it for a whole year and a half and it was just thinner and thinner. This is the thinnest it's ever been. The pill definitely shed me like crazy...
Now my hair is cancer patient thin.
What is going on with me? I used 1.25 finasteride everyday for awhile with Nizoral about 3 times a week. I went off finasteride for about, oh 5 months at one point just because I was depressed, then got back on it. I take it every 2 days now starting last month. I...
So I posted a thread in 2014 before I went on finasteride, it was when I first noticed my hair was pretty thin on top. This is what my hair looked like
So I jumped on finasteride in Feburary of 2014, and it immediately started thinning out my hair, shed like crazy
The back of my head. With two mirrors, It was literally the first time I noticed how thin my crown had become. Uggh.
Thanks. Earlier in the thread I mentioned how I got some blood work done before staring Proscar. Currently I and eating mostly fish, broccoli, a few other veggies, and...
I'm gonna do rogaine once a night, starting tonight. I take 1 quarter piece of Proscar daily. Also whenever I shower I use Nizoral as my shampoo.
@Goldenmane suggested I use 4-5 mil since my thinning was so advanced and all over. But I don't know if this changes if I have less hair...
Hey guys, Update:
I’ve been taking Proscar 1.25 for about 5 weeks now. Hair has been shedding like crazy, and my hair has lost a lot of density, very thin and wispy. So….for many reasons, I BUZZED it. For now at least.
My question for you guys is – Is this (a buzz cut) an ideal thing to...
