Well, I've been lurking on here for long enough, I figure it's time I tell my story and see if I can get some feedback.
Noticed my hairloss around 19 or 20. My girlfriend at the time helpfully pointed it our for me. I am now 24, and my hairloss has progressed steadily to the point where I can now see the outline of the dreaded horseshoe of doom appearing. Just a few months ago, August 2005, I realized how bad it had gotten, promptly buzzed my head, vowed to start some sort of treatment, and of course, proceeded with the obligatory quarter life crisis freak out extravanganza.
Looking at my family history of hairloss, All of the men on my mother's side of the family were slick horseshoe bald around 30. My fate, should I be unable to alter it, is clearly laid out before me. I am diffusely thinning all over the top, front and crown, with the temples and mid-front being the worst. My goal is maintainance with a tad of thickening all over.
After agonizing over the thought of the treatment options I have decided to go the route of generic finpecia (from inhousepharmacy) for moentary reasons, minoxidil 5%, and nizoral 1%. I am also drastically altering my diet to a thouroughly organic one, taking holistic dietary supplements, and quitting smoking (smoking since 16).
I am hoping through the combination of these lifestyle changes and drug additions, I can be satisfied with my hair until i'm at least out of my twenties.
I plan on updating my story upon seeing any improvement in the coming months.
thanks for reading.
