Hey guys - thanks for all of the help! It is good not be bashed and/or crazily accused of creating separate profiles and insulting bald dudes. (????) I'm here just for other eyes and knowledge (and to read about treatments). I realize it is a little thin on top - even my derm and gp said...

show me a screen shot

You don't think so, s.a.f? You seem like a good guy - you haven't villified me! ha. What do you really think about the crown? Those were the worst pics I could find. My derm said - "it's a little thin on top, but it has not changed in 1.5 years." and to simply monitor it. He would not...

I didn't come for a diagnosis - I know I'm balding. That's what I've been trying to say. I just monitor the hairline - it's easier to do I guess. And I just was saying that my hairline looks like it has improved or maintained completely over the last year, and was asking for opinions on that...

finfighter, you're kidding right?? Explain to me again how I have two profiles and clearly I'm the one who disparaged a guy with a hot chick?? This is the only post I have done. This is the only one I have responded to. Check my profile. Just because I have "cat" in my name, that means I'm...

Dude, you have never seen my crown. I have lost hair, and do have male pattern baldness. Don't you think it is ignorant to assume you know more about my hair than I do based on some cropped hair line pictures? I didn't wake up at 32 and say, "hmm, maybe I'll pretend to be balding just for the hell of it." I'm...

I'm not here asking IF I'm balding. I know I'm losing hair. When you started losing hair - didn't you know??? Anyways, I've had the miniaturization tests twice - that's why I was diagnosed. I've been prescribed finasteride and min. I just didn't want to take it. And I never said it wasn't genetic...

Listen, I'm not going to argue with you - believe what you want. I think aldosterone plays a role in hair loss. I think anxiety affects aldosterone. You think I'm wrong, that's fine bro. Do what you do. You also think I'm not balding but I'm inclined to believe my own knowledge of my 34...

So, as I wrote in Dec - I was diagnosed with male pattern baldness by Bernstein in Jun 07. I had awful inflammation and SD. I'm now 34. I didn't want to take finasteride or min and just wanted to use nizoral, limit dairy, do yoga/cardio for less anxiety (which I think is critical - I'm convinced anxiety is critical to...

thanks - yeah that's why I wanted some objective eyes to check the 7 mo difference - just to monitor where it is going and make sure it didn't get worse. The male pattern baldness diagnosis is scary - you start wondering how fast it'll go. If it does get noticeably worse - I think I'll hop on finasteride - I know when...

I understand your points. About 2 years ago I noticed accelerated loss, hundreds of hairs a day and had insane painful inflammation with some recession, so I went to a derm and to bernstein to see what was happening. Not for a transplant at all - he was just the "expert". Bernstein looked at...

Listen, I was diagnosed by Dr. Bernstein in NYC with male pattern baldness a year and a half ago, and was told to immediately go on propecia, and he's supposed to be the expert. I have less hair than I did 3 years ago, certainly. But, I don't want to take drugs for as long as I can avoid it. I've been trying...

Wondering if some other eyes could take a look at this. One set is May, one is December. I am not on anything but nizoral 1% twice a week (for about this whole time) - and I cut down on dairy/wheat and increased cardio/yoga. I use a coconut oil shampoo too. There is some recession/thinning on...
