Anyone remember me?
After over 2 years, my hair is still thinning. I have to admit that my treatments have probably slowed this process down considerably, but the inevitable is still coming my way. Over the last year, I have been using the strongest treatments, with minimal success.
My anti-hairloss cocktail for the last 12 months has been:
Xandrox 15% 1 or 2 times a day.
0.5mg Generic Dutasteride daily
2.5mg Generic Finasteride every 2 or 3 days.
T-Sal/Nizoral Shampoo every other day.
The Story: The frontal area of my scalp has progressed thinning more than the crown, which has lost the least. My first year of fighting balding was experimental, and I finally arrived at a consistant regimen last July. After re-introducing minoxidil (in a 15% concentration) I noticed a 3-4 month thickening of my hair. The next 6 months were mostly maintainence or a slow progression of thinning. For the past 3 months, my hair has begun to thin at an increasing rate.
In Summary: After over 2 years, my hair is about 20% thinner than when I began treatment. This is probably a lot better than it would have been if I had never done anything.
My Thoughts: I have a feeling that DHT reduction isn't working for me, or my folicles are highly sensitive to any remaining DHT in my bloodstream. I attribute any success that I've had to minoxidil. I know it's working because for the 3 months before i began Xandrox 15% I stopped using minoxidil, only to induce the fastest shed I've had in over a year.
I'll try to post pictures in the next week. I haven't been frequenting the forums too much, but if anyone has reccomendations on where to go from here, I'd love to hear them. I'm thinking about using spironolactone on the front of my head, but it's pretty pointless considering I have a mega-dose of DHT fighters.
