Hey all! I have kept my head shaved over the last 2 years (since quitting finasteride), and finally decided to grow it back out over the last few months to see how catastrophic the damage was. To my surprise, it ain’t too shabby. It definitely got thinner on the hairline, but to be expected. I’m gunna...

Bump - final update with pic on page one under original post.

I feel ya man - it’s a tough position we are in. But, I really challenged myself to learn knew things and develop other skills. I needed to develop other things that I valued more than hair. I made list of these things and pushed to achieve over three years. I earned my masters degree, got my...

I think the fear stems from others knowing that we are bald without the pill. I mean, the whole purpose (at least in my mind) is to cover up balding so others don’t know. It isn’t to fool ourselves, it’s to fool others. We know we are genetically bald. With finasteride, no one else knows we are bald...

Haha. Good question man. At first, I was afraid to tell her, but I eventually did tell her. I explained to her my situation and how my hair would change once I stopped and without surprise she was totally supportive and enlightening. In fact, she really made this whole process easier. She...

Haha. Yes you are correct, I once did not want to go bald in my 30s. But, I have spent a great deal of time working on myself as a person over the past three years...and well...believe it or not...I have come to accept going bald in my 30s. In fact, I shaved my head bald with a BIC razor and I...

I am 31 years old, and my baseline pictures are posted in this thread with my initial post. I’m curious, why do believe it’s not a good idea to quit?

Hey fellas . It’s been a while since I’ve been on the boards. So, I wanted to update you all, which will likely be my my last update ever. I have been taking finasteride for approximately 3 years, and I have had phenomenal results. My hair seemed to have gotten better each and every month that passed...

To be honest, my mind was so hyper focused on my hair when I first started, and I catastrophized the situation a great deal, so I failed to see any results in my hair for a long time. But, now in hindsight when I compare all of my progression pics, I see just how much improvement, and how fast...

This picture really shows the drastic impact finasteride had on my hair. I know how dark and depressing this experience can be. I know how much this curse can impact ones self worth and self esteem. I know how much it hurts to have no control over this situation, and how helpless it feels. I...

Hey John! Ha, to be honest my attitude isn’t always great as it pertains to the hair loss. I have my days where i struggle with it. I think my results have given me some peace of mind though, and allowed me to feel better about - like I’m doing something to control it. Ya know? Yes, I haven’t...

Update 4/8/18: Hey guys. It’s been a while since I’ve been on the boards. Since the last time I posted, I’ve grown my hair out (which I enjoyed for a few months, but shaved it all off again after 3-4 months). I am currently in the process of growing my hair back out again, in so that I can comb...

I find a number of things wrong with your posts friend. 1) you come to a hairloss site to seek advice for what sounds like a very serious MEDICAL condition. We are not doctors. We use google and our own anecdotal experiences to answer your questions. Do the right thing and seek medical help...

The one thing I miss about these boards - witty hair loss puns. Haha!

Hahaha! Touché.
