Good article; one of the few i've read in a mainstream media that basically gets all it's facts right, and doens't try and drop in [tired old] jokes to liven up the piece. Wonder how many people it enlightened through informative tone... It even made a stab at suggesting hair transplants to...

So what's hapening? There's two main ones? UK firm, Intercytex developing it and a US one Bosley? What do you mean about being mistaken? It all sounds interesting. But it seem sslightly surreal to think it'd be out round about this time next year. My common sense is telling me I'll have to...

Dutasteride has worked best for me for the crown and middle in so much as it's stopped/slowed loss. I can say I'm pretty much the same as in my finasteride days. General diffuseness. Makes me wary of standing under bright lights for sure but not too bad if i keep it short. Having said that, dutasteride's...

Well, I wonder if things would be worse off had I not taken anything! I certainly haven't seen any stop to the loss. Noted, with my usual mild distain, the enlarged really thin balding spot on my crown; looks like even dutasteride didn't really save my crown that much. I think my body just gets...

Hasn't really helped me. Temple recession and continued diffuse thinning of remaining frontal hair. Crown a bit below baseline last year. In all a bit rubbish (for want of a more eloquent turn of phrase)

Fair enough. I was going to get it form minoxidil.com but any other sites that serve the UK? Um, does it really have an odour? Cos I have to use a mild cream for very light eczema (I got good genes didn't I!) that "smells clinical" but is odourless within a few minutes of application[/u]...

I KNEW it! Must be something in the water!

How long does the 2oz 5% tub last? It seems VERY small for the amount of money you pay.....

Wincing slightly at the description of "Tuft of hair in front" as I saw conclusivly today it's really being shored up by my efforts at combing forward! Dutasteride... I don't know what to do. I was on Propecia for a year with nothing really changing (looking back at my moans about "thinning"...

Well I suppose that'd be me. Using it since start Jan 2005. Back is slowed right down but as to your question; front really went downhill. This time it was just thinning at the temples which I was worried would lead to receeded hairline. I was a bit conservative with my estimate! One of...

What're you using now? I did have a bit of crisis of faith in Avodart ("is it real?!" "does my body just keep trucking on producing heaps of DHT despite it?" "Is it cos I ate that extra slice of pizza last night?"). So I used up a one month pack of Propecia left lying around. I'm not...

In-depth Ramble Difficult to sum up. Hairs that still haven't spun off their mortal coil feel thick[er?]. Though the diffuse hairs seem to have gone, so while my crown now actually has good quality hair there, I now have a true white spot of baldness (tiny) and diffuseness. Overall though...

I must have been gone a fair bit cos I come back, check some of the guides for any changes and Tricomin is now added to proven treatments! In my day(!) it was still on the "caveat emptor" list for peple who wanted to have something topical to apply. My itching scalp tells me "do something...

I must say, despite my pessimisitic state of affiars (receded hairline since this time last year when I began, now even thinning at the sides of the remaining "V" suggesting it'll turn into a "U" - and yes I really will have to stop using letters to illustrate my hairline!) I could understand 14...

Five Hairs And It Meant to come back here but just as I resign myself to bed remember I forgot (semantics!) to check here. Yes. Twice. -It was "it". With that level of inspiration, I feel a need to cover some Star Wars backstory (zing!) -It is nearly 12 months.... or infact I think...
