    i'd give up so much...what would YOU give up?

    That's the way i interpreted it too.... that he'd be willing to depart with loved ones in order to have a head of hair. I would never even wish hair loss on anyone in my family no matter how bad they upset / hurt me let alone be willing to part with a loved one for hair on my head!!! You're even...

    You'll be fine dude. And nice choice of protein... i use the same kind.

    Creatine supplements and finasteride..

    Having supplemented creatine on numerous occasions, i can testify that some do cause you to retain water. I believe this is the reason some claim that after only a short amount of time supplementing creatine they see "visual results" and mistake the added water weight for lean muscle gain. If...

    Cut your losses and shave your head?

    I'm actually in the same boat as you, except i'm a bit older (28)... i have dark hair, so my recession is pretty visable. My weakest point would have to be my temples at this point which have wreaked havok on my hairline over the years. I usually keep my hair pretty short but every time i'd walk...

    Wasted Years....

    Ditto bro! Jacked and tan.... Well, not so much the tan part.... lol. Never been a "tanning salon" kind of guy, but i am somewhat naturally tan so it works out. Just be careful what / if any BB supplements you're taking while getting 'jacked'... A lot of shady, fly by night supp companies out...

    You can't compensate it

    Wow, you guy's starting thinning out that early.... sorry to hear. I can imagine that'd be tough, especially since h/s was such a popularity contest. Being preoccupied with hair loss at that age would be brutal. I think i wasn't bitten with the hair loss bug till about 22, but any age lower than 70 is too...

    If I were only going bald.

    Hey buddy, hang in there! We have to realize that there are certain things in life that are simply beyond our control. Obsessing over these things, whatever they may be... can really take a toll on us. At some point we just have to throw up our hands and accept things for how they truly are...

    You can't compensate it

    Well i can't say i can completely disagree with your assessment of Larry D. There may be some bitterness still present to be able to make jokes in the manner in which he does... but just keep in mind that the Larry David you see on Curb Your Enthusiasm is actual Larry's "alter ego" if you will...

    You can't compensate it

    As mentioned, developing a thick skin to the whole situation would be one approach... although that would probably take a bit of time. I'm not sure if anyone ever fully accepts hair loss, but rather just stops caring altogether and puts it in the back of their mind. I think developing even a...

    Wasted Years....

    Well stated, and i think over time as i've become more accepting i have been doing exactly that. Improving and concentrating on other aspects of life - whether it be hitting the gym, playing music, or working on improving my performance @ work. It's sort of a silver lining in the clouds.... as...

    Wasted Years....

    To me, the most difficult aspect of hair loss to accept is that we as hair loss sufferers spend so much time fixated and focused on one aspect of our lives.... and in turn, life truly does pass us by. Even being aware of this, i still find myself falling in to the same level of thinking and i...

    oral spironolactone increase test??

    Sore / itchy nipples should be a red flag. Any time you alter your hormones you run the risk of running into some nasty side effects, I.E Gynecomastia in males. I'd keep a very close eye on that. It doesn't take much to knock your system out of whack...

    strong anti-depressant

    Hey buddy, I think Xanax might be an appropriate way to look considering your situation. I've heard clinical professionals prescribing this drug to those suffering from prolonged anxiety and panic attacks. Seems like you might fall into the category ( i.e. preventing "poisonous worries"...)...

    Image's Story - (extreme generic everything)

    Hey Image, I can definately relate to your situation, for i too am in a similar one. For the past few years i've noticed the gradual thinning and now recession of my temples / hairline, and now it's gotten to the point where i've come to this forum seeking a cure. I too have really yet to try...

    ReichAndRoll's story - (Receding Hairline, Any Suggestions?)

    Thank you for the reply, And yes, i wanted to post pics being that it's the most clear cut way to give an accurate description of what's going on. But unfortunately i seem to have misplaced my digital cam which i went looking for for this specific reason. I will try to post pics in the near...
