Yeah man confidence is everything, even though I'm super self-conscious about my hair and mention it to every girl I'm with so that they don't just awkwardly think about it. I always enter situations by saying "hey it's me, mr. receding hairline!"
But yeah I know the risks, I also understand how it will affect me more than most, although it is kinda scary sometimes I believe you can overcome a lot with willpower. Also there are thousands of people taking it with results, I'm also young and healthy so I imagine if anything does happen I can "hopefully" bounce back! (;
And to everyone else reading, I'm actually super excited considering my experience and future in the medical field that I can shed a lot of light for people and not just disappear if I get positive results from finasteride.
I'll also be keeping detailed noted on everything, incase anyone wants some sort of quality story cause they are nervous about taking the plunge.
So keep posted!
