    Losing hair with an odd shaped head

    My father also has the same head shape so it seems like there can be some inheretence of this trait, even though our shapes are a bit different. Like your father too though, mine is 64 years old and has limited hair loss that conceals the head shape - a tiny bit of recession but pretty thick...

    Losing hair with an odd shaped head

    Dammit! I wish someone told me that earlier!!! I might need to look into undoing the procedure now! Thanks for the words, in all honesty though it looked way worse in person, however, probably not all that noticeable to anyone but myself. At the end of the day though, it bothered me and I'm...

    Losing hair with an odd shaped head

    Attached are some before and after pictures (sorry, not sure how to rotate these pictures). The first five are pre-op -- I shaved my head to help the doctor better shape the bone cement he added. You can see the high spot in the center, you can also kind of make out the divot in the back of my...

    Losing hair with an odd shaped head

    Hello everyone, Better late than never. Wow. What a sad story I sounded like 6 years ago. I'm happy to say though instead of sulking about it, I decided to do something about my odd head shape. I had a skull augmentation procedure done last week with Dr. Barry Eppley out of the Indianapolis...

    Losing hair with an odd shaped head

    I don't think I said it clearly in my other post. I could post a picture but you wouldn't see anything since I still have hair. I am losing it but it's still there. However, when I don't have hair, whether I lose it or buzz it, my messed up shaped head is clearly visible.

    Losing hair with an odd shaped head

    While I still have hair, and I'm lucky to still have a decent amount, you can't see the top of my head or the terrible shape. If I get my hair cut really short you can see the outline of the plateau on the top of my head. It is only when my crown and/or the whole top has gone that is when...

    Losing hair with an odd shaped head

    I am a pretty good looking guy with hair, my facial structure looks fine. It's just the top of my head that looks incredibly odd. I hear what you're saying but on the same logic if brad pitt had a bunch of warts and birth marks under his hair would he still look good bald? I made a quick...

    Losing hair with an odd shaped head

    I am in the unfortunate situation of losing my hair at a young age, 23, and having an extremely messed up shaped head. I know almost any other person here would say they have an odd shaped head but I would be willing to bet my life savings that mine is worse. I got the odd shaped head from my...

    DIM for sexual side effects

    Has anyone here ever taken DIM for finasteride side effects? I recently started taking it after quitting finasteride several months ago. Immediately within a day after starting DIM I have been getting more frequent morning and nocturnal erections and not to mention it is much easier for me to get an erection...

    finasteride side effects?

    I was completely fine for the first two weeks - in fact I had increased libido and harder erections from increased testosterone. After that I suddenly couldn't get an erection at all no matter how hard I tried. I quit two weeks later and didn't ride it out like some did. I know some people...

    sides

    I have heard that but frankly going two full weeks without being able to get an erection, period, at age 22 was more than enough to make me quit.

    sides

    I had sides. I stopped in mid-May after taking finasteride for a total of one month and still have not completely recovered. That would be post-propecia syndrome. Some people have it much worse - going years without ever recovering from sexual and mental side effects. It certainly doesn't happen to...

    Erectile disfunction and ruined semen even after 2 months

    Zinc has worked for me personally - 50 mg per day. I quit finasteride after one month back in May and still am not all the way back to normal. I started taking zinc a couple weeks back and it has made quite a difference - much harder erections, much easier to get an erection and higher libido.

    Have sexual sides ever just gone away?

    OP here - I did end up quitting finasteride and I feel that I have been recovering sexually. After quitting finasteride I am able to get and maintain an erection much easier than while I was on finasteride but I don't feel 100% yet. I still don't get morning wood - maybe only once I can recall since quitting 2 weeks...

    Ateam505 Story -(22 / Diffuse Thinning -PICS!)

    Re: Ateam505 Story -(22/Diffuse Thinning -PICS! I would have thought the same thing a month or two ago but after doing some research I am starting to get the impression that morning wood, or nocturnal erections are important for penis/sexual health. I would like to get a little more educated...
