Hey thanks for the feedback! I'm psyched about all the positive comments I've been getting.
Had a few dates with a girl recently and she kept fiddling with my hair. You have no idea how awesome that feels after that 6 years roller coaster this thing has put me through.
I don't want to cry wolf...
Yeah thanks for the suggestion. I guess I'll edit the first post and do a recap there!
lol and thanks for the compliment also :) Best of luck with your treatment!
Month 20.
The 2 years threshold is coming fast and TBI, I'm a little scared.
I'm going through a rough patch also so I'll keep it quick since I don't want to sound like a whining b**ch.
No change. Same libido, same amount of hair lost (maybe less), overall I _think_ there's improvement...

Libido's pretty much the way it was. No puffy nipples or chest. The weight I put on is pretty much muscle at this point.
I've heard that it might be harder to have a leaner body fat % on finasteride though. Might be true since I have...

Hey folks! Here's my 16.5 months update.
Last couple of months where pretty good. I don't recall any itching or at least I don't notice it anymore. Still count the falling hairs and still have good and bad days but I manage...
Re: Thediffuser's Story - ( 30 / finasteride only - 14.5 months update )
Hello! It's been a while!
For those keeping score, still no sides that I can think of. Itching comes and goes but I don't even remember what it was like when I started finasteride in the first place.
I still have the feeling that my...
lol Might be an illusion. I did notice it through these pictures though so I don't know.
I'll try posting some more pictures in the next few weeks. It might shed some light on this issue.

14.5 months in. I just want to issue a global "wtf" concerning my progress.
About say a month ago, it looked like I completely stopped losing hair. Whenever I was in the shower, I counted like 5 hairs on my hand after shampooing...
Re: Thediffuser's Story - ( 30 / with pics - 1 year update )
13 Months!
I feel this shot is a little treacherous because my hair is super curly come summer time. I'd have to cut it short again.
I can't really discuss on my progress because I've been soooo stressed out because of work. When I...
Re: Thediffuser's Story - ( 29 / now with pics)
Well folks, I started finasteride exactly a year ago last Sunday. So here's my year in review.
How am I doing? Very well actually. I still have bad hair days mind you and I don't think that'll ever stop. I'm still very constantly aware of the lighting...
Re: Thediffuser's Story - ( 29 / now with pics)
11 months in.
Things are not looking all that good I fear. I've kinda noticed a pattern in which my head itches much less when I go get a haircut but it worsens more and more as the hair grows.
Right temporal area definitely going bad and I've...
Re: Thediffuser's Story - ( 29 / now with pics)
Thanks for the input!
I was thinking about Toppik for some time and I'll probably look into that in the near future.
As for Rogain, correct me if I'm wrong but aren't the results expected from it super temporary?
Here's my take on things ...
Re: Thediffuser's Story - ( 29 / now with pics)
Well, here I am almost 10 months in. This month hasn't been easy. Itching came back with a vengeance (I tend to gauge if things are going well or not by monitoring that). Anyways I have the feeling I've regressed somewhat, hoping this is just a shed.
I think you're going to get a lot of mixed answers about that weight lifting issue although I'm really interested in reading that other people have to say about it.
I've read things like :
-Less energy at the gym
-More energy at the gym
-No difference
-Lessens efficiency of finasteride
-Etc.
There...
