Hey I'm back, been really sick (not related to treatments) and thus away from the forum. Anyway, just wanted to update you guys. I am applying the RU 5% 2x daily at 1ml now and have results similar to theRA. Since starting this thread (which was roughly the time I started RU), my bald spots have...

i see your point, in fact i've been hesitant to try it, but Hellouser and other users have good results. My PcP will not prescribe any hair loss treatments to anyone since he is NW6 and says it is unstoppable. I plan to use RU for several months until i get a finasteride script... I'm trying to find...

tl;dr/short version: Will societies attitudes towards baldness chnge for the better, and is there anything we can do to help bring this change? Long version: We know there is a stigma (it is socially acceptable to mock baldness). We also know, while not the end of our lives, hair loss sucks...

This seems to be the most appropriate forum, but if not feel free to move the thread. I haven't found another thread discussing the long-term efficacy of the pre-made solutions btw so I feel this is an important topic. Anyway, I have been using Anageninc solution from Kane (5% RU58841 in KB)...

Thanks for your responses! Yes, Quantum,, unfortunately I have observed this bitterness/ignorance many times before. Not to go off on a tangent, but doctors prescribed me meds in the past with complete ignorance to the fact that there is a discontinuation syndrome associated with them (btw...

Agreed. I use RU (just started) and it is in KB solution. I can say with almost 100% certainty there IS some inevitable systemic absorption. At your age, you are still going through puberty so I would never take anything that ****s with your hormones (Anti Androgens, DHT blockers like finasteride). As...

So, I unfortunately got quite sick with Valley Fever (live in AZ) and lost 30 pounds in in just a few months. My male pattern baldness had already progressed to norwood 2 before this, but the involuntary crash diet induced a biblical shed (we are talking 400 hairs in the shower a day) and I quickly progressed to...

I've spent countless hours on that forum for various workout/health related things. Just never signed up. The reality is, many of those members who do start losing their hair become every bit concerned about it as us. There is a huge, huge megathread about stopping hairloss there (couldn't find...

Wow it is a piece? I thought he had some kind of fantastic hair transplant, there is no denying he was thinning BAD like ten years ago. I know for a fact Enrique Iglesias wears. Can't say I blame him, look at what he has, but it really goes to show the power of hair. Does anyone think Enrique Iglesias would...

This is so true. Did you see Dallas Buyers Club? The villain is a doctor with an enormous bald-spot, and (as far as I remember) the only prominent bald character in the movie. He was definitely portrayed as an uncompassionate monster. Of course, the heroes, despite all dying of AIDS, have...

Hey Fred, I'm familiar with your posts as a long time lurker. I'm also looking to get an FUE. I notice you keep your hair buzzed pretty close. I may opt to do the same, but I've seen some people who do develop scarring that is noticeable (albiet very close up). Should that really be a genuine...

Wow, hope it ends up working out for you. I too have coarse, naturally greasy hair. It sucks how there are so many potential cons us balding dudes can run into no matter WHAT we decide to do about balding

I've read most (but not all) the thread. Anyone catch True Detective? Matthew M (who, like us, has taken stups to cover up his hairloss) gives a voiceover monolouge about the nature of time and death as Harrelson's character looks in the mirror frustrated with his thinning hair. The association...

I absolutely agree BUT... there is a HUGE double standard IMO. Some girls honestly won't care (but since my hairloss has kicked into overdrive, I haven't been back on the dating scene yet). Many will, however. Just read comments online on articles about concealers or on videos about them. Many...

Sup, new to posting, but a long time lurker. I've noticed since my hairloss kicked into overdrive this year, I simply haven't been on Fakebook. I rarely used it anyway, but I recently logged in to get some friends' numbers so I can keep in touch with them offline (and possibly close my account)...
