You need to see a therapist before you make a horrible mistake
You’re 43 years old and you probably have people that love you. My father committed suicide and it ruined my family. Take a step back and think about it, you’re going to end a 43 year existence over slight thinning which isn’t even apparent?
I know a girl with alopecia that lost all of her hair at 12 years old. a GIRL at 12 YEARS OLD. Had to deal with all of the bullying and everything. She’s happy af now at 23. Be a man and think about what you’re saying.

Been awhile, came back to say grow the f*** up pussy. Your in your forties with no real contributions to society. Just vein and narcissistic. Try meeting someone and creating a life/family and you'll have a more positive outlook on life. We are all on our way out, it's what you leave behind that matters. Your hair still looks good for your age, you think you were going to be young forever?

Can Finasteride make your hair worse? I am 4 months in and my hairline has thinned and receded a diffuse 1 in with almost complete loss at the temples. Hair caliber all over my head is thin and brittle.
should I cease Finasteride? I have topcial Dutasteride that I planned to use 1x week on top of the Finasteride. I panicked and started RU again but I think it’s fake. Is CN worse a shot?
you can’t tell me that this is not f*****g aggressive for some one throwing everything at my head.
200+ every shower.

I dont think finasteride will resolve this issue you have. This is not 100% not male pattern baldness or atleast typical male pattern baldness. I'm sure you're tired of hearing it but you do not have male pattern baldness. You have some other issue. I'm not gonna deny that you have an issue with your hair like everyone else, you clearly have a problem and i really hope you get to the bottom of it. I think you should get more tests done and visit some more dermatologists. A man can not have hair like that for decades and suddenly start balding, you are not predisposed to baldness because if you were it would have started in your late teens to early twenties. Best of luck man, hope you find out what this f*****g thing is and get rid of it.

You have dupa man, i tell you that since the beginning.
There is nothing you can do more than what you're correctly doing. it is well know that people with dupa respond very poorly to the treatments (minoxidil, finasteride, dutasteride, ect) because dupa is the most aggressive type of androgenic alopecia
You're 40 years old, you should accept it or go for an hair system and move on with your life.
Trust me, there is absolutely nothing you can do with dupa

@bluecyclone
I saw a photo of your body, you are very muscular.
Have you ever took anabolic /androgenics steroids in the past?
Please be honest
Heavy amount of AAS can cause epigenetic changes to the hair follicles, even with someone not predisposed to male pattern baldness

Never. I was put on HCG after my first attempt at Finasteride to recover fertility. I’ve been using that on and off for 3 years. I know it might be making this much worse but I can’t tolerate the Finasteride without it. I might drop it and Finasteride to try CB and Topical Dutasteride again.

Are this changes reversible? My T has never gone above 900 averages around 600 and DHT has been below range for 3 years.
Mia it possible to reverse the changes? I started with RU but don’t trust it.

I haven't seen most of this thread but I've seen enough of it previously to have an opinion, when it was brought to my attention. All you guys make excellent points but I'd urge you to be more gentle since it's clear he has a mental illness and is in pain. You never know what could tip someone over. It's not that hair loss shouldn't suck, it does at any age for many people, but the way he writes about it is enough to know that things are far from right with him. And on top of it, he's in his 40s with good hair and beard, lack of greys, great body and skin. Bluecyclone you are mega blessed genetically, be grateful.
When Calikid was trying to guide him to get the help he needed, he aggressively listed his positive physical traits as if that somehow compensates his troubled mindset. As Calikid said, I would rather be bald and skinny than unaware and mentally ill and as a health professional this couldn't be any closer to the truth sadly. Untreated/refractory mental illness is the one of the main contributors to low quality of life and it has a negative knock on effect on everything. Bluecyclone please see the right Drs for your own safety and sanity, rather than throw your money down the drain with derms and surgeons. I do think something is going on with your hair but it could be based on something autoimmune or the fact you keep changing treatments. I don't think you'll ever be anything close to even moderate balding so you're good to go, especially with a transplant. Learn to relax and this is something Drs will help you with in many ways.
Crownbalding I am truly sorry and sad you had to go through something so harsh. But just from that post I can tell it gave you a healthy perspective of life itself which you can pass on to your kids and close ones. Very sad you had to go through that though for this lesson but it's part of you in a positive way in some shape or form. I'm sure he is proud of you for what you just wrote and sorry for his actions which he couldn't avoid due to his pain.
Northface, I think some people don't realise the show ends one day and as such reduce themselves to sad old men - this is what happens when you're in your 50s and still trying to be 20 in everyway. You look pathetic and are perceived as pathetic among younger people and your own age group. Right now bluecyclone is not at that age but he'll get there one day. As Spencer Kobren says, he's proud and open about his age (mid 50s), he takes basic care of himself and as long as his body still has it's basic functions, he can continue to enjoy himself socially. He even keeps his hair appropriate and dresses mature but nice - shows you can be attractive and older which is way more respectful. He literally told someone his age on the show to STFU lol since the caller said he still looks 28 at 58 when he talks to young girls at parties (lmao) and that he is worried finasteride is wearing off after 3 decades with some possible 2mm loss - probably didn't even happen. Now no one can say to me I am coping. I am a decade younger than bluecyclone but I also naturally have thick black hair, Norwood 1, tan, beard and decent body and no greys. It doesn't matter if I can pass for someone in my 20s, I am no longer in my 20s and that's the key for me, I have way more life experiences and maturity. I will never let myself be a pathetic old fart trying to be 21, I respect myself too much and will adapt myself to remain smart. I enjoyed my youth but as you said we are all on our way out which is fine with me and it's all about legacy. I still enjoy every day but in fact I'm doing much more than before, with my family, pets or pals. It all seems more wholesome. We never get these moments back, you may get your hair cure one day when you're older but you won't get your time back.
Embrace all phases of life until the bitter end, we all go through it. Bluecyclone you wish to start a family and you have the looks no doubt to achieve this with relative ease, just deal with your mental health worries and you'll get there. Think of it like this, it sounds like before hair loss you were having fun but didn't have general anxiety or anguish? That means that you can return to your old better self but with a long term goal. Don't throw away what has been coming your way due to your hair concerns, you may regret it one day when that opportunity won't be in your reach. There was someone on here who had life long mental health problems and had legitimate looks/hair grievances (all unlike you) but his intrusive obsessions indirectly were responsible for the abortion of his child and breakdown of his relationship. Not only is this a sad loss of life or even murder to some but be aware all our actions have consequences that may go beyond our own lives and this time/opportunity never returns. In a parallel universe you could be leading a very different life. Introspection rather than scalp examination is more your pressing concern.

He is overreacting a little and clearly has issues but if people here were a little more supportive and didn't constantly call him retarded or stupid for being worried about his hair he would definitely be in a better mental state. He obviously has some issue with his hair and it is not the typical hair loss pattern and he was able to enjoy a thick norwood 0 for decades, so people here don't care because most of them started losing it in their late teens or early twenties.

Agree but he should change his mindset asap before he loses this time to achieve other goals and also prepare himself for genuine ageing which will come one day. He's getting away with it so far because he has dark features and such people can carry on until middle age quite easily but you've got to be prepared either way. Otherwise when you lose what you value so highly (and it's your only focus), you're screwed especially with his mindset. As I said he should be grateful, no doubt he's a desired guy. Not only are other people balding more seriously way earlier than him but many people also are visibly much older looking by their 30s or lack looks. I know everyone only cares about their situation but it's good to widen your thinking/reading and realise the gift(s) you inherited.
Even pieces work well these days for full baldites who have little other choice if they desire full hair, but his situation doesn't call for it at all.

Yeah right now with his situation he will never be fully bald. Maybe he just needs to wait it out and get off treatments and his hair will resolve itself over time. But he should not have come to this site because he has ignored the very few people who are giving good advice and instead he tries extremely hard to convince a lot of severely balding men that he is balding and they dont see it like he does.

We’re all here dealing with the same thing. Some of us are young (even underage) with far worse hair. It’s natural for those in a situation like that are going to be resentful towards a man in his 40s throwing himself a pity party.
Imagine someone complaining to you about having to downgrade to a BMW after his Porsche broke down, while you are stepping into your ‘96 Honda Civic.

Well then bluecyclone is not in the wrong then, it's all the other members who are making fun of him. He came here for advice because something is obviously happening to his hair and he's constantly reminded about it because he is also shedding so much, it doesn't matter if his (possibly) male pattern baldness is less aggressive or it doesnt even matter if he's losing his hair for some other reason, the fact is that he's losing hair and needs help. I imagine it might be easier mentally to start losing your hair in your teens like a lot of people here as opposed to having great hair for decades and it suddenly gets taken away from you (it didnt really get taken away from him he still has good hair but something is causing his hair to dramatically go downhill) in your forties.

His hair is more than fine, and at the rate (and age) that he’s losing it, he will have hair for life. Wolfpack, you’re right about the mental health issue, but he fails to address that as even being an issue. When I came here freaking out, people told me to seek help and I listened. I got the help I needed and I’m in a better headspace now. For years, people have been saying the same to this guy and he avoids the topic entirely. At some point, it’s time to man up and get your mental health in order, or at least ADDRESS that as an issue. I double down on that statement when we’re talking about a man in his 40s.
I feel for anyone that is mentally affected by their hair loss, at any age. However, if you spend literal years being delusional, failing to even address your own mental health issues, I (and apparently most other users of this site) start to lose their empathy and patience.
I want to see this guy get better. However, he won’t do that until he starts to acknowledge his own irrationality. We can’t help someone get to that point by showing excessive sympathy.
BLUE, YOUR HAIR HAS NOT BEEN DECIMATED, YOU’VE BEEN POSTING IN THIS THREAD SINCE 2017 AND THERE HAS BEEN LITTLE ADDITIONAL THINNING SINCE THEN. YOUR HAIR IS IN THE TOP 10-20% OF MEN OF YOUR AGE AND YOU ARE INCREDIBLY BLESSED. STICK TO FINASTERIDE AND YOU WILL NEVER BECOME BALD. STOP WASTING AWAY YOUR LIFE AND START TO MAKE STEPS TO OBTAINING YOUR GOALS (GETTING MARRIED AND HAVING CHILDREN). COME TO THE REALIZATION THAT YOU’RE BEING DELUSIONAL AND YOU’LL SLOWLY BUT SURELY GET OUT OF THIS NEGATIVE HEADSPACE

his hair is clearly going downhill. It may not be due to male pattern baldness but his hair is still going down. He is shedding more than he is supposed to aswell. He knows his own hair more than you do. Just because he has better hair than you, it does not mean his hair isnt going downhill. @bluecyclone you should really get more tests done instead of experimenting with all sorts of different male pattern baldness treatments. Good luck man.

I will say it again. I have seen many men lose more hair once they hit 40 years old. The problem is he is treating his hair loss and still losing density. He can't accept the reality that these medication do not cure male pattern baldness. They may slow it down but that is not a given either. I have been on finasteride for 15 years and I still continue to lose density. I realize my battle is not over but it's not going to end well for me. The problem is I don't know when that day will come. I seriously don't think @bluecyclone will be a full blown NW4 or above in the next two decades. This all about him going from a 10 to a 9. The ego can destroy you.
