minoxidil I guess that's why I asked the question in the first place. Has ANYBODY had success with minoxidil? I've gone this far, may as well continue. It does seem to be the general consensus tho to give it a year. Even Dr. Lee has responded to my questions in the same way. Of course, he...

maybe.... I would agree with you on seeing a specialist except that I am already using the only products that are 'proven and accepted'. I have some oral spironolactone, but I hestiate to start that because I have high blood pressure. I will take your advice though, and everyone else's it seems, and...

no docs here The city I live in already is experiencing a shortage of family Drs. There are many people here who don't even have one. I am fortunate that I do but when I first saw him about this, he told me to take multivitamins and sit in the sun. Can you imagine? The derm he sent me to...

no finasteride I can't use finasteride cause I'm female. And I haven't found a Dr. yet who knows his *** from his elbow. I decided to start the minoxidil on my own. The thing that gets me is that the first months on 2%, I was absolutely maintaining, no shed at all. So, I switched to 5% thinking I'd regrow...

Has ANYBODY had definite success with minoxidil? I have been using the 2% for 5 months, now the 5% for 2 months. It's a lot thinner with the 5%. I'm beginning to wonder if anybody really has success with the stuff????? :roll: My scalp has been a little itchy and sore. I wrote to Dr. Lee and...

Dr. Lee I ordered the 5% minoxidil a few months ago, didn't need a consultation and I'm in Canada.

info on Nizoral I've started using the Nizoral 2%. What I don't understand is the labelling on the box....contains sodium laureth sulphate which I have read is BAD for anyone, especially with hair loss. Any comments on this anyone, please?

it sounds logical Thanks for the response. Maybe since I didn't shed with the 2% the first 4 months, it did trigger something. I wrote and asked Dr. Lee about it, he said just that it was to be expected and to continue on with the 5%. However, I decided to go with the 2% and see what...

I am female (not much happening in that forum). I have been using minoxidil now for a little over 5 months......4 months on 2% where I was pleased with the results. I never experienced any initial shed and did not seem to be losing any more. I then started on Dr. Lee's 5%, thinking I would see...

Hi, I am going around in circles trying to find a place to buy minoxidil 5% in CANADA. It is only available OTC in 2% here. Does anybody have any info on this for me? There are so many sites outside of Canada, who can I trust? Thanks.....

I posted here some time ago. I am now a 54 yr. old female. I started losing my hair about a year and a half ago, nothing terrible, just noticed a difference. My Doctor told me to take multivitamins and get more sunshine. Two months later, I went back and he sent me to a dermatologist. I was...

Hi, I'm 53 and have been losing my hair for about a year now. I have had blood tests to rule out thyroid, etc. I have seen a dermatologist who told me it was because of the major surgery I had. Problem is, the shedding started 9 months later (one year ago now) and although I think it has...

hi right back! It was nice to get a reply from you Cal. You're the first since I desperately joined this forum. It's good to know that other women are going through this 'balding' business, although I wouldn't wish it on anyone. I know what you mean about washing your hair, I keep my glasses...
