What can I say but you all are a great group of people! The way that you are gathering around 80sRevival to show him your support is awesome! <<<<<<<<<<<<<80sRevival>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

The particular type of treatment that I've been using for more than two years, Low Level Laser therapy, is making a big difference in my hairloss. At the very least, it's stopped my hairloss.

Hi,

I’m in the same boat as a couple of you guys (80'srevival/cooldar).
I’m an asian male, 24, quite good looking and male pattern baldness wants to make me kill myself. What’s the point of being good looking if you’re going to go bald when you’re young!!!!

My hair has gone from being nice and thick to complete sh*t in the space of about 2 years, and with this my confidence has gone down the shitter. I feel embarrassed at work, no longer want to go clubs and bars with my mates and hate leaving my house.

Everything else in my life is perfect, but this one small thing called male pattern baldness totally over-rules everything else and makes me so depressed that I wanna kill myself. I try and kid my self and pretend it doesn't matter and that most guys are going bald, but then I see lucky wankers twice my age with twice as much hair as me. I wouldn't even mind going bald at around 30-40, but I am young and feel I can't even enjoy life. male pattern baldness is f*****g sh*t!!! Not a day goes by when you don't think about. It is Ruining my life.

I was so desperate I even went to Advanced hair studio, I changed my mind the day after finding out what a bunch of lying CON ARTIST FUCKERS they are, but I had already paid a huge deposit which they refuse to give back even though I have had absolutely no treatment (trading standards told me that they are not legally obliged to return my deposit - BASTARDS!!!!!!!). I’m seriously considering doing something horribly violent to the guy who persuaded me to part with my cash. :evil:

I have recently started using Propecia and Minoxidil. I don't mind taking the pill but the minoxidil is f*****g stupid. It leaves what hair I have left looking and feeling greasy and thinner, it also take hours to dry (how do people live doing this routine). I also have to put in on 2 times a day which is a bastard because it constantly reminds me that I am going bald and I get even more depressed. (One day I might just drink the whole bottle and hope it kills me)

Please GOD let there be a cure soon!!!!

 

[Getting there]

Hair loss is depressing, I know. You're not alone, and it's not worth killing yourself over.

At 23yrs I was very worried about taking proscar. My family and other hairier brother also didn't approve. We were worried it would kill my sex drive. Even my doctor wasn't supportive.
But I took it anyway as part of my program, and it's been the best thing I've done. No side effects for me. Do it now rather than later. Don't worry about your brother not supporting your decision. This is your decision.

Yes, I'll be taking it for many years, but eventually I'll get married and the later years my wife can let herself go (fat, wrinkley whatever), and so can I (bald, fat and beer nose). Until then, I'll take it, because it's the best way to keep my hair and have regrowth.

memphisB,
If you are 70s or older, its probably normal. But since you are only 23, its most likely you have been for a long time
1) Not living a normal lifes (sleep in the morning and stay up at night)
2) too frequent sex/masterbation(especially multiple times a day for consecutive days)
3) Obese, eating unhealthy food and no excercise

Do you look older than your peers?

I suggest that you reverse those problems listed above(although I highly suspect number 2 jk ) Don't expect quick recovery though. It will take years to restore your kidney condition.

The information I've gather are from Traditional Chinese Medicine websites and from talking to TCM doctors. If you can read Chinese I can provide you with a link or two.

I suggest that you find a TCM doctor and talk to him about your life style. They will give you a pulse reading to tell you your system's current state.

Non-Asian people here mostly likely won't believe any of this but TCM wouldn't have existed for thousand of years without a reason. The truth is that there are just so much stuff that even Western medicine cannot test or measure with scientific instrument. Just couple years ago westerners did not believed in accupuncture too.

thanks for the reply. i could read chinese trad/modern alright. pls hook me up . what does tcm means? yes... its been a habit that i had to kick ...well u know.
Anyway I ve been drinking drink tea and doing cardio. Thinking of adding hei shou wu too.
