i was reading your post and staring at my pictures trying to visualize, what you are saying, im not sure i 100% understand ... want to try one more time, maybe ill get it :dunno:

many thanks for the story / post and pictures! i can def. see similar patterns between you and i. did you start any treatment, and if so when, what helped, what was / is being effective... any other words of wisdom?

hence the title of the post. if someone could tell by the hair loss pattern that it was stress related, then i need to make lifestyle changes (even more than i have) and be patient while those lifestyle changes affect my body / hair.\\howevever, if it is male pattern baldness i want to get to the root of the...

i will take a look at those links today / tonight when i find time. thanks. i ask myself those same questions on the RU, they even bothered to do some clinical trials and it didnt pan out, but i am not that familiar with the drug or process to get fda or other regulatory body acceptance huge...

someone requested pictures of the hairline, it wasnt a concern of mine to be honest. i am, however, concerned with the first post pictures towards the crown of my hair.

ive always had a higher hair line, but i have recently noticed recession on the sides as well. had full blood work, everything is in order except high iron which was near the top of its range but not outside it... the only way to bring this down is give blood, which starts in june with regular...

hair line on different angles

i will get a picture of the hair line tonight and post it in this thread.

SC and FF, thanks for the quick replies on this thread guys! i understand that you are not a medical professional, and appreciate any input you guys can give from the school of life. Getting in to see a derm will take longer than simply ordering from the UG market (if its finasteride or RU or...

thanks for the replies everyone. So is your suggestion to jump right onto the RU or go with rx'd finasteride? with finasteride, i think my extended health insurance covers it OR i am thinking about mixing RU with the rogain for the benefits of both. i wanna stop this thing in its tracks and maybe regrow a...

its a bit tough to tell, given the age gap between my dad and i, and i dont think he really gave a sh!t how thick his hair was at my age, since he wasnt going bald! but if i had to guess, it is fairly similar. my brother and i are similar for sure. overall, from you and finfighter, it sounds...

i can see the two swirls, it is probably unique to me. my brother and dad dont have it. i will have to investigate the genetics aspect a bit more in depth. i make those comments on what i see from my parents, 82 yo+ grandparents (hair), and pictures of the really old timers (more hair).

i read your sig early, that is party why i posted the question on what to do. to stop the androgens, i think RU is the strongest but least studied for long-term. minoxidil seems to be the only "regrowth" product out there (nizoral hasnt proven any regrowth in 10 weeks) ... and propecia vs RU is just...

Re: what to add thyroid and blood work is fine. had full blood panel done last week for a non-hair related issue. diet is good ... fish oil, multi, zinc, b-vitamins, protein supplementation i was under an enormous amount of stress the last half of last year (sept to jan) moving states, new...

hey guys, background: 28 years old, no hair loss on either side of the family for generations back. current reg: been running the 2% nizoral for about 10 weeks now, and i think it has helped a bit, but i just want to make sure there isnt more i should do yet. should i add in minoxidil or get a rx for...
