Thanks - fingers crossed! :)
Hopefully we'll all be rid of the hair loss problem soon - with Tsuji's treatments and this on the horizon it is certainly an exciting time right now.
I think male pattern baldness and Alopecia are both just as bad but in different ways.

Thanks very much for your kind words Wolf Pack - this forum has been nothing but a godsend in helping me cope with this issue :).

I wanted to choose an avatar that was my exact opposite as inspiration, something that pretty much epitomizes healthy hair.

Not a single hair on my body (Alopecia Universalis)
Little to no fingernails and toenails left (see above)
Severe dermatitis.
5'7"
Baby face (including weak chin and jaw)
Big hooked nose
Bags under eyes
Hyperhidrosis
Extreme introversion (can go for days without talking to a single person)
Yeah, it's a very odd disease. I now wear zero prescription glasses to cover up the lack of eyebrows and keep dust out of my eyes, but I miss being able to grow a decent beard.
