I cant believe you have taken them so long either. More so the minoxidil. I been using minoxidil for almost two years. I feel like it has probably done nothing. But also realised that my hair actually really isn't that bad and Im not loosing it so maybe I should just get over it and I will stay...

I have been using minoxidil for a year and a half. I also have been having some serious sleep problems during that time frame as well. I have identified the cause of the sleep problems. I have enlarged turbinates in my nose. They are necessary structures in your nose but are sensitive and can...

Ok so the low blood pressure issue is a non event. I have had my blood pressure tested again twice since February and it was fine both times. So the minoxidil use did not cause a problem. The low blood pressure reading was a one off event. Since the first low reading I have however been...

Wow interesting. Much more high tech than the days of wigs. So does the hair system just stay on? I mean key things like if you were dating someone and they touched your hair is there like risk it will come off like a wig or is it more secure than that and they wouldn't really know? Must be...

It looks really good but I don't understand. Can you explain what is a hair "system". Have you used fake hair? How does it fit there like that? Does it blend with your normal hair? Is it like a wig that pops off and on? How does it look so real?

Looks awesome! But I don't really understand. Whats a hair piece or hair system?

WTF its really hard to see a problem from your photos. Maybe very minor recession at the temples but that could just be a mature hairline. I think you need to show us some proper photos where you really pull it back with your hands, as we are probably seeing the public version where you try to...

Ok I have tested this out now. Minoxidil has nothing to do with my sleeping problems. I went away for work for 5 days and purposely didn't take minoxidil with me, opportunity to test the hypothesis and one less thing to carry. It made no difference. Still had sh*t sleeps, particularly the last...

You have actually seen the minoxidil working? What has it done? DId you start it at a separate time to finasteride? Can you distinguish between the effect of the two. I have been on finasteride for years so am looking for any change from minoxidil but hard to discern yet.

Yes but if you are dating someone it is kind of obvious to avoid them noticing what you are doing which makes you look insecure and emphasises your hair issues to them. Plus $10 a month is not a trivial expense if you are throwing it on something which does absolutely nothing. I find finasteride...

I know this feeling. I been using it almost a year now. Some days I feel like its working and other days I feel like its done nothing at all. I find it hard to shake the notion that its not simply expensive snake oil. I will be ditching it after 4 years if I am still unsure it does anything

Thanks. I have actually been quite lazy and have not been washing my hands after using minoxidil. I have been thinking of it as some innocuous over the counter possibly completely ineffective snake oil cream. But perhaps I need to take it more seriously. I have started washing my hands after...

Your hair looks f**ing brilliant. How long was the horrendous stage where you looked worse than pre surgery? And how long was it until your hair looked better than pre surgery?

Im wondering whether I am experiencing side effects from minoxidil. I recently went to the hospital for an unrelated issue and the nurse checked my blood pressure and said "your blood pressure is a bit low any idea why thats the case? Have you been experiencing light headedness or dizziness"I...

Awesome results. I am in NZ and get prescriptions for finasteride from my doctor. Get a bucket load each time for cheap as. I am sure you can do the same in Ireland. I just buy minoxidil foam off ebay. Again cheap as. And if I can get it to me al the way over here in NZ I am sure Ireland will...
