it cost 350 because it wasn't covered by my parents insurance plan. as for the hummer, i only got to drive it around the waiting room....they didn't let me take out into the hallways. the zincon is to treat my dandruff/ dermatitis. he confused the sh*t out of me about my hair loss....he...

two said i had male pattern baldness and two said I just had dermatitis and my hair looked normal to them. The two to say I had male pattern baldness are the two who saw me first and knew what my hair was originally like. The two who said my hair looked perfectly normal never originally saw my hair. I thought I would get some...

He was actually my fifth opinon (one of them wasn't exactly formal, a friend's dad briefly examined me). I just don't understand how this guy is supposed to be a hair specialist and doesn't even prescribe the 2 drugs that are FDA approved.

Today I went into NYC to see a "true hair loss specialist." This guy is on the Diplomate American Board of Dermatology and is a Clinical Professor of Dermatology at NYU. He must have have been in his late 60's or early 70's, so I thought this would be good. So he asked me when I started...

This is what everyone on this forum told me.... "You have male pattern baldness." How do they know without examining me? That's a hell of a good question. Two dermatologists have told me I don't have male pattern baldness, but at the same 1 said I do. My best advice for you is to find a good dermatologist in your area. Make...

macdruid, how can you POSSIBLY know if that is wrong or not. Are you there watching and counting every hair that falls out over my shoulder or something? It seems weird to me that YOU would have a better idea of how many hairs fall out on a certain day than ME. I count the hairs. Last time I...

Temples "If that were the case EVERY guy would be bald. Dude, no offense but judging by some of the crazy things you've posted here, you need some serious psyche therapy....and your avatar scares the bejesus out of me!" If you haven't noticed, a lot of people on this thread seem to link...

I assume wank= masturbate. When i first discovered the magic of masturbating in 7th or 8th grade, i did it pretty much every day until the middle of my senior year (12th grade) of high school. One of my theories is that I messed with my hormones really badly and that may be causing my hair...

Anyone use Tricomin or Folligen? If so, how are your results? Does it REGROW hair or pretty much just maintain it?

the keyword there was IF (it was stopped). If it wasn't stopped, then Propecia would be causing a shed- because thats what its supposed to do- and there would be no way to recover all the thousands of hairs you lost! I am heavily considering dutasteride at this point.

jkriely.... i asked that same question here on this forum and was told it is impossible. i, on the other hand, do not believe it is impossible. every drug can have an adverse side effect. but hey, who knows.

jkriley- im in the same boat as you. ive been on propecia for 8 months and i've been going down hill ever since. my hair used to be very thick and very dense. since going on propecia, the density is very minimal. more recently, my hair seems to be looking very "pluggy"....almost as if i...

I know everyone on this site swears by finasteride and minoxidil, but has anyone tried dutasteride? I'm thinking of making the switch. My questions are: 1)How long does it take to start working? 2)Is it focused primarily on maintanance like finasteride, or does it promote more regrowth? 3)How is the frontal...

It already is available, but you'd have to fly down to Mexico to get it done....i think.

I'm not so sure to tell you the truth. I don't recall it coming in a box with instructions. I believe the label said use every day for a few weeks, but I didn't realize I was supposed to stop using it every day once the dermatitis I had subsided a bit. So I continued to use it everyday for a...
