After the big 3, after the blood work...

Curly2bald · Dec 24, 2007

What's next?? I've heard about people who went for a biopsy? Anyone have any info on this?

I recently went for a complete blood test, my endocrinologist called me friday saying everything is 100% perfect and to pass by his office early january if I want to pick up the results...I was actually hoping that something was wrong and that fixing it would fix my hairloss problem.

So here we are, everything is ok and the big 3 didn't do any miracles for me...and I'm still shedding.

how long have you been on the big 3

ill give you a little advice with the big 3, apply the rogaine foam on a wet scalp so after a shower right away and b4 you go to bed run your hair and scalp under the sink. the wet scalp allows the rogaine to penetrate ALOT better and less gets on the hair. also along with nizoral 3 times a week left on scalp for 10 minutes. if after a year on all that still loseing ground bump up propecia to avodart. good luck

I've been on propecia 1mg since 2001 I beleive, I can't take more finasteride because I'm border line of getting some sides.

I've been on nizoral 2% 2-3 times a week for 6 months+. As for rogain foam 5% I've been on it for 5 months but had to stop for 2 weeks because my scalp really doesn't like that stuff. I know rogaine isn't supposed to stop the shed anyways, just help to grow more hair.

In the first post I forgot to say I'm also losing terminal hair on the sides, not as much as on top but I sure am losing density.
