Hi guys:
I try to return every year with an update, but I usually forget. Sorry. I remembered this morning because I heard about Keeps, on the radio and see that this is just minoxidil 5%. LOL I always keep my ears open for any miracle treatment but never hear of anything. One day I'd love to be able to stop treatment altogether and just take a magic pill, but at this point, my regimen is second nature.
Forgot my password for davidleeroth, so could not log in with old username.
Anyways, here goes:
Jan 2001 at age 27: Skeptical about hair looking slightly different. Checked with dermatologist and diagnosed with male pattern baldness as a NW1-2. Both granddads NW7. Brother a NW3V. Began 1 mg finasteride a day.
2002: On advice of dermatologist, added Rogaine 5% and T/Gel
2003: Switched from Rogaine 5% to Xandrox 5% day and night. Loved Xandrox and loved the customer service from Dr. Lee.
2011: Switched from Xandrox to Corvinex 5% after Dr. Lee went out of business Thanks, FDA.
2014ish: Switched to Kirkland and other generic minoxidil because the premium brands became inconsistent and harder to find. Underwent about a year or two of very annoying itchiness on the kirkland and big box generics, but my scalp finally got used to it. No impact on results, just itchiness.
2019 age 46: No hairloss progression. Never broke 1mg finasteride/5% minoxidil/T-gel regimen. Followed religiously, maybe missed total 5-10 applications in 18 years. NW1-2. Brother a NW5 or 6.
Best of luck to everyone.
