yes, welcome to my world - actually, the more i thin, the more i notice other people with the same type of hair loss. i started shedding at age 22 and am now approaching 30. i used the big 3 for most of time i've been losing it, to some degree anyway (not always on them all at once, but pretty...

Does anyone know someone? I've been losing my hair for over 7 years and want to give a doctor one last shot. I had been to several derms who couldnt offer me any advice (i have diffuse thinning) and before i give up and shave my head bald i'd like to talk to someone who knows a little about...

if this is any help... i am a diffuse thinner with female pattern loss only. ive been on finasteride for YEARS, but i actually experienced Gyno in my early teens. It was so bad that i had to get surgery. Since that time ive been ok, despite the finasteride. my hair looks like sh*t and i keep it buzzed.

i've been using Dr. Lee's standard 500 minoxidil for a couple years and i'm unsure about its effectiveness. i apply it once a day (at nite), usually between 1 1/2 and 2 ml. my hair is very short (buzzed to a #2) so i cant apply it in the morning because it leaves a white residue on the top of my...

i dont have Telogen Effluvium. i've been losing hair for 6 years.

this is not male pattern baldness. i know someone that had the exact same thing. it will grow back. don't sweat it. if you had male pattern baldness or diffuse loss there would be thinning on the top of your head. relax my man....you are NOT part of our miserable club.

i'm done. please feel free to go back to your 15 page thread of 150 different pics of your hair. nice little hobby you got there. maybe you can squeeze some time in your day to gettting a life.

for the last time - female pattern loss is not male pattern baldness. the way we lose our hair and the rate at which we lose our hair is completely different. again, a diffuse thinner will notice fallout years before showing any visible loss. we are the people on this forum who complain of massive daily...

Re: re: no its not. in fact, it is the opposite. male pattern baldness can move a hairline back rather quickly. in those situations, the affected area is basically slick bald. with diffuse thinning, you can go years and years without even noticeing a visible change in the thickness of your hair. i have...

no.

yea, how crazy of me to suggest a seperate forum for diffuse thinners. i must be nuts to think that 6 + years of browsing hairloss forums plus judging my own situation would be enough to draw a reasonable doubt as to the effectiveness of the big 3 on diffuse thinners. right? its soo outrageous...

you misunderstood the whole point of this thread. if i didnt think that the big 3 and dutasteride might be helping, i wouldnt have spent the thousands of dollars that i have on treatments for the past 6 years. its very possibel the drugs have slowed down my loss. however, its also very possible that...

was that supposed to be an answer to my question of whether studies have been done to show the effectiveness of the big 3 on diffuse thinners? no sh*t there is a different classification for diffuse thinners. we obviously don't fit within the norwood scale since we are clearly balding but...

so your expertise comes from being on meds for 3 months?!!? my bad. go ahead and school me on the effectiveness of the big 3 on diffuse thinners. what would i know? i've only been taking the big 3 for over 6 years and dutasteride for over a year; along with monitoring these boards since the first...

Re: re: i'm not talking about the dictionary definition. The literal meaning of male "pattern" baldness does not apply to diffuse thinners. btw dude, i think at 22 years old, you should sit back and stop trying to sound like an expert on diffuse thinning. first, there are no experts on...
