Just thought i'd post my life story with hair loss medication ,this is also for my reference in the future! =) I noticed just shortly after turning 21 years old that my crown was thinning and my left temple was slightly receded. Well rather I didn't notice, but one of my friends eloquently...

The reason I stopped using conditioner for a long timeages ago was because it made my hair look greasier and seem thinner (even before it started thinning). Now because my hairs so dry (I guess bleaching/nizoral/straightening etccc takes it's toll), conditioner seems to give it some boost and...

Normally when I shower I just use shampoo on it's own so my hair doesn't go greasy as quickly (my hairs quite long). Whilst checking my progress earlier in the mirror under daylight, I could see a thin patch at the crown about the size of two fingers (this was also after wearing nanogen for the...

Sorry about taking ages to reply, I don't really frequent these boards often. Propecia seems to have just maintained for me, I haven't gotten better but I haven't gotten worse. I've recently started minoxidil so shall see how that pans out. If you have anymore queries feel free to drop me a pm...

I myself had a testicle removed at about 13 due to testicular torsion (basically my 'tubes' were to long and one of them twisted). I've been on propecia for about 15 months now and no noticeable side effects to speak of. Seems to be maintaining as well. I was told after my operation that in...

Re: Sadscalps Story (23 / NW3+diffuse thinning) Your thread hit quite close to home considering i'm only a year younger than you and share similar emotions. Glad to see you have such a positive attitude. There is one thing I feel the need to advise you on though; which is every single story...

I've used them for about 11 months or so. Delivery is quick (although costs £65 inc delivery!). No complaints besides the cost. Recently I changed to doctorfox.co.uk, which is around £40 and still came next day (though it's sent 1st class as opposed to special delivery). Packaging is...

Thanks alot for your input people :). The idea of splitting the pill into 1/4 or 1/5's never actually occured to me for some reason. Whilst i've never really suffered from bad side effects; there has definately been one minor side i've noticed. Will be interesting to see if this reverses over...

I've been on Propecia for a year almost. It has helped maintain what I have, plus possibly some regrowth (although having recently started minoxidil I don't know which was responsible). Unfortunately due to money issues this month, i've almost ran out of Propecia. I was taking it daily until the...

I'd get on it if I was you. If you don't you'll always be wondering what if.

Thanks for the advice, I started it pretty much same day as I made this thread and shall continue using it; it's nowhere near as troublesome to use as I thought it'd be initially. I decided to add minoxidil to my regime because I'm quite young (22 years old), and I feel that if the balding process...

Today I received my order of kirkland minoxidil, but i'm going on holiday in about 4-5 months with the lads, and I've heard minoxidil can cause a massive shed; obviously I don't want this. I've been on propecia for 11 months now, seems to have maintained; or it hasn't got much worse anyway if...

If you are going to tell her, I wouldn't bring it up randomly if I was you. Just leave a bottle of minoxidil lying around, and if/when she notices it, if she mentions it; just say you're using it to make your hair thicker. Don't make it a bigger deal than it actually is. You'd be surprised how...

One of my so called friends has started annoying me quite recently. He met my dad a while ago, and since then he's made the association with my thinning crown. He told me the other day "wow you're balding mate" (i'm already on propecia for just over 11 months), which I just shrugged off as if...

Well having read some more about minoxidil, it seems to only affect hair that is dormant and ready to shed anyway. Luckily for me I dyed my hair about 3 months ago, and can clearly see most of the hair in the region has about 2 inches worth of root growth; so hopefully this means the majority is...
