IBM's Story - (NW3.5 -Big 3+Oral spironolactone, pics added Aug 2008)

[IBM]

I'm better now of flaking skin thanks to Item shampoo Alphacade though i have tons attached to my scalp but slowly is getting off. The inverse is that i'm loosing hair fast on top.

The good news: oral spironolactone really works. My temples are growing more though at slow pace. If continues in that way i'll have noticeable temples in 2 years.

In two months i'll step on oral dose to 100mg and then 200 mg. The risk is high but i dont care. Nobody likes me so monster or more monster does not make the difference.

Tomorrow i'll post a pic of my hair. I take it with flash and now i use mousse so it looks like wet. I cant post now because i dont have the cam with me. But here's some my previous comments about it.

I had a little regrowth. Very little but now the hair is thicken and the rate of growth is faster (though less than i used to have in teen age). I give credit of thicken to oral spironolactone. Definitely a great add to my regimen.

Its good news that i've maintained but hairloss is like being on a rollercoaster. So the fear is always present.

I'm better with my scalp. I dont have flaking skin but still my head flakes dead skin but without hair.

my hairloss is very diffused.

IMB your hair looks great and very healthy from what I can see in that one pic. What made you want to use oral spironolactone as opposed to topical?? I've been on topical for about 5 months now and it seems to be doin the trick and I haven't had any sides yet.

 

[IBM]

Never used topical. I decided to use oral spironolactone after reading some studies about it and some success stories.

 

[KielMcK]

any bad sides??? when I first started taking propecia my pecs got a lil flabby and I gained a lil weight but it went away.

with oral spironolactone you lose some strenght, will and you have a little of sleepy mood. Similar when you have low blood pressure. My boobs changed a bit but its almost the same so no gyno.

As for libido i cannot tell.

 

[KielMcK]

Rogaine gets me in a sleepy mood if I use more then a half a cap full. I'll feel sleepy and relxed the whole day... probally just my heart skipping beats. I'm interested to see how you do with oral keep us all posted.

dude, many will kill for a great head of hair like yours... You really dont need to be here lol

 

[KielMcK]

Well I know what my hair looks like without the treatments. I know that when my hair was falling out I would have like to talk to someone who was having similar experiences and did something about it. So I figure I'll do my best to give others advice. good Karma!

true

I am really curious about the laser treatment. I am still a little skeptical about it. Since you started the laser treatment while you were on Propecia, it's hard to tell which treatment you had benefitted from.

 

[KielMcK]

I don't think the laser grew more hair back it just somehow improves the appearance of your hair. How it does this I have no idea. Propecia I must say work very very very slow. It took me like a year and a half for my crown to really fill in.

The nightmare begins

My hair started to fall at fast pace. I'm shedding very thin and bizarre shaped hair (and of course normal hair). The tingling sensation is annoying and i cant focus. I waste time looking myself in the mirror. I dont think its stress.

Hairloss is a mystery. One day we're fine and the next we're doomed . I hope it last soon.

Now i'm thinking on those Armani's hair transplant.
