    Greetings, Norwoods

    Just a quick update. I do now actually have a proper girlfriend as well, the first time I've got anywhere since hitting NW2.5. Hair loss is still an issue for me but life is far, far better than I thought possible a year ago. Keep up the fight, guys: the challenge isn't just holding the line...

    Good to hear from you House. I, too, have always enjoyed your posts and sense of sanity on this board. (Not that I didn't enjoy the more insane posters too, of course!) I'm sure you will find what you're looking for in time. Many older women do have baggage, but not all.

    Oh I quit finasteride a long time ago, after a couple of runs with it. It didn't work with me side-effect-wise. Perhaps the sides were psychosomatic or something I scared myself into, but in any case their effect was real! I'm now on eucapil and minoxidil, slowing things down a little. My hair loss goals...

    Hey finasteride, It's certainly an exciting treatment. I'm going to see how things play out for the next few months for me, but I might well be in for a future order. I like your treatment guide, btw. This is precisely the kind of thing that can save a lot of people from obsessing over this. Without...

    Also, my current hair loss philosophy for anyone who cares! I used to waver between two extremes: 1. On the one hand, the view that this is a terrible disorder that has hit my life hard, is totally unfair, is a very big deal, and should be fought at all costs. 2. On the other hand that I...

    Greetings, Norwoods

    Well, when I quit the boards last year I was still a bit of a mess for a few months. My plan then was to get a hair system; I'd done a lot of research, and I was quite determined it would work. I didn't really have any other solutions left open to me. There were probably three events that...

    I never understand people who "play down" male pattern baldness

    I had a mole that randomly started bleeding when I was travelling, and afterwards changed colour and shape. It went from essentially a standard, round mole to a raised scab-type thing. Not much larger, but very different in appearance. This is pretty classic skin cancer, so I had to go and get...

    I never understand people who "play down" male pattern baldness

    As others have mentioned, one reason hair loss is played down is because for the married, <40 man who makes up a large chunk of the sufferers, it isn't as big a deal as for the 20-year-old. Also, it's just because so much sh*t is worse. Earlier this year I had a cancer scare, and had to get checked...

    Greetings, Norwoods

    It's been a while since I was on here. I'm not sure how many of you remember me, but I accumulated >1,000 posts a while back before requesting for my account to be deleted. I was in a dark place and needed to sort myself out. Anyway, I've since been doing quite a bit better. After a brief...
