Just thought I'd give you guys a quick history and an update.
I always had super thick and never thought I'd go bald. When I was 23 (about 2 years ago) I noticed my temples starting thin, and quite quickly. After 6 months or so my mate who was going through hairloss put me on to procepia and kirkland 5% minoxidil and thought that may help. It didnt, at all. In fact after over a year on them my hair was failing badly. Rapidly thinning, and the whole front started getting very thin. As I gave the treatments at least a year and my hair was getting much worse (far worse then my mate had already become and he was losing his hair for a few years beforehand) I stopped and for the past 3 months I've been on 0.5mg of Dutas a day and rogaine foam plus nizoral and occasionally spironolactone cream for hairline.
It was weird, as about 1 month on this my hair seemed alot thicker and I could finally do some styling with it. God it felt good, and I know it cant have been the treatments but it definitely looked and felt thicker, perhaps just a cosmetic effect from the foam or something. Anyhow this lasted approx 4 weeks but now for the past month its been hell. My hair is dramtically worse, I have no temples, my hairline is almost gone (very thin strands left) and now my crown is starting to show.
I know I shouldnt be getting my hopes up as if kirkland liquid and procepia didnt do anything I doubt dutas and foam will. And I'm not blaming the stuff i'm using, it was probably going to be like this anyway. It just sucks so much that I'm using pretty much everything possible and my hairloss is increasing not halting one little bit. Its so hard to keep hoping that the hair will come back. I dont even see the shedding occuring besides some fine white hairs every now and then.
God every month for about 2 years I'll say, if my hairloss stops I can live with it like this but nows its gotten so bad I pretty much have to buzz my head and I wouldnt be happy now. I'm going to to try to wait out another year on these more "advanced" treatments but damn its hard. My hair is my confidence, big time, always was, when I felt my hair looked good I felt good. Now its a mess and so am I. I've even considered going the way of the wig even though I've still got a fair amount of hair on top but dont think I could ever do it. It would just be so nice to go out with a cool head of hair.
Sorry I know this doesnt help anyone, just had to get it out.
