Its been a while since I started this subject, I stopped with the exercise, its been 10 weeks since my last run and Ive been off the weights completely. The heavy shedding continued for quite some time after stopping training, probably another month, and I'm still losing now but at a reduced...

Any thoughts anyone ??? please.

I'm starting to think that I'm going to have to make a decision. I've posted on here before about how my hair reacts with exercise be it either cardio or weight training. Safe to say it does not act well, heavy shedding!! I've tried to ride out the storm but its still having the same effect even...

Hi all, this is something I've been wondering about. Just a quick fill in on the history of it, I've been on Propecia for just over a year now and was just starting to get some results, hair fall had near enough stopped and my hair looked and felt better with a definate improvement in coverage...

OK, its still falling, lots, so the change to running does not look to be helping me. Excuse my lack of knowledge here, but, I think it would it be safe to say, that in my case, taking the propecia had started to work. The hair loss had stopped and there was a definate increase in hair thickness...

Hi all, sorry if this is going over old ground, but, I have been on Propecia for 12 months now and I'm currently going through a shed, is this normal to get repeat sheds? I went through a long and painfull shed quite early on after starting the meds, scared the sh*t out of me, but kept on going...

All I know is that its still falling now, a good 3 - 4 weeks after I started. I'm onto the running now, 3 times a week for about 30mins, with no weight training at the moment. I'm starting to wonder if this is a shed I'm going through? How often do these things come along? It would be one hell...

My thoughts, another hulk that reacts differently. everyone's different and has different reactions, don't rule it out.

Thanks for the response Ali, Thats interesting reading! I do enjoy running, but I feel that I could do with bulking up a little bit, just to make me feel happier about myself, I'm not trying to be the next HulkHogan or anything! Now I'm older (38), Ive got a gym at home, and I've got the time...

It doesn't happen after one session, and then noticable that day, but after a couple of weeks of training. Its all ok to start with but then the hairloss starts back up again. with the only change in lifestyle being the weight training. I thought being fit was supposed to be healthy? its kind...

Hi all, just wondered if anyone counteracted the raised testosterone levels of weight training with cardio work like running / cycling. As posted before, I get increased hair loss when I start to weight train, When I say increased I mean - the Hair loss had pretty much stopped, I then started...

thanks for the comments! I'm quite sure it is related to the training and testosterone increase. It's as though the finasteride is doing the job but just can't handle the extra amount of testosterone when I do the training, like a cup that only holds so much before it overflows. I wondered about...

I've been using propecia since about October 2008, I've been through the sheds and other side effects and I am pleased to say that recently the hair fall had all but stopped and the hair itself was feeling much healthier and stronger. I even think that it was starting to thicken up and I had...

Sorry, didn't realise my typing skills had an effect on hair loss. If so , perhaps everyone should add a spell checker to their regime!

Thanks for the reply. I used to use minoxidil some years ago with no major problems, but i like the idea of only having to sue it once a day, it can be a pain in the *** and I keep my hair short, so it can look a little greasy just after you put the damn stuff on. Regarding the testosternoe thing...
