Hi guys, 
My hair started to thin out about two-three years ago, although it hasn't been something I've been bothered that much about until now. In June (right before my nineteenth birthday), I discovered that my hair has reached a point where my scalp is getting more visible, thus making me to do something about it.
I've went to several doctors throughout the years about my hair, although nearly all of them said that it isn't male pattern baldness, but more rather stress that's causing it to thin. I recently visited my doctor to talk about getting a prescription for Propecia; she told me that she'd never prescribed it to anyone else before, so she wanted to perform some blood tests before agreeing on giving me a prescription. I took the tests some days ago and I got a call from her yesterday, telling me that my values (DHT, testosterone etc.) were normal. I told her to mail me the exact results, which should reach me on Tuesday earliest.
Although, one of my values were lower than the others; she told me that I had low Vitamin D values, so she prescribed me some Vitamin D pills and Propecia. I went to the pharmacy today and collected the medications, although I'm a little scared about starting with Propecia with all the reports regarding (permanent) side effects.
Is it okay that I start taking Propecia, while taking Vitamin D pills due to Vitamin D deficiency at the same time, or does that in anyway increase the risk regarding side effects? Also, I'm a diffuse thinner (my hairline isn't that "bad"), I've heard stories about diffuse thinners not responding well to Propecia. Is that true? It seems like for me that diffuse thinners would get better results, as their (my) hairline isn't normally too bad.
I can post some pictures of my hair later, I can also return with my blood test results when I receive them.
Thank you guys in advance!
