I AM AWESOME, I can sympathize with you man. I'm Chinese and until a few years ago I had the density and thickness of Asian pop star hair. I shed like you without any change to the hairline. I couldn't really see a difference in the mirror so I didn't pay much attention until I saw the top of my...

Hi Scargo, For the long-term potency of finasteride, the best clinical research so far is the five-year clinical trial. Read about it here: http://www.stophairlossnow.co.uk/products/Propecia-5year_results.htm After 5 years, 48% of men had an improvement and an additional 42% had no additional...

For next time, if you go to a doctor and get a prescription for generic 5mg finasteride, the cost is $9 for 30 5mg pills at Walmart and Target. Splitting them into 1.25mg quarters gives you 120 pills. 4 months of supply for $9! Most doctors will even write you one prescription with up to 3...

It's hard to tell since your hair is really short so you can see the scalp everywhere and it seems like you're sitting under a light which makes everybody's hair thin. Have you been noticing increased hair falling out randomly and in the shower? I noticed an increase in hair falling and getting...

Whatever benefits you got from Propecia (even if it was just stopping or slowing down loss) will be lost when you stop it. Expect to see more hair falling. Trust me, I know. Whether or not that can be made up for swith minoxidil and Nizoral is anyone's guess. It seems from the forums that there are...

You're looking really good. I don't think any normal person that's not male pattern baldness obsessed (like us) would even know or classify you as losing hair. Heck, some of my friends still say I'm not losing hair which I know is just being nice. In terms of changing your regimen, I tend to be of the opinion...

I started on finasteride in late January 2010 and took it religiously until October 2010 when I stumbled onto the PropeciaHelp forums and freaked out for no good reason. Quit finasteride and minoxidil cold turkey until late Jan/early Feb 2011 when I started the regimen religiously again. After taking some pictures...

From both the dry and wet hair pics it looks like you might be an early diffuse thinner but it's hard to tell with the wet hair and the "spiked" dry style. My advice would be to get on Finasteride as a preventative as soon as you can. A regular doctor can prescribe it and Target/Walmart have...

Hi, I'm a long time lurker on these boards but it's my first time posting to share my story. I am a 26 year-old Asian Chinese guy and have been losing hair since probably my early 20s. Edited to add picture I randomly found of my crown from 8.5 years ago January 1, 2003 In terms of family...
