    Going Bald In Less Than A Year, Need Advice

    Dude, you're crazy. My brother once had a heart rate of 120 sitting at the dinner table and claimed he was like a hummingbird, and now he has heart failure.

    You can do a test for blood in your stool that comes as a kit you prepare at home. I would do that and see what it says. A scope does not go into the entire system, but is a visual check of large intestine and stomach only. You need a colonoscopy to check large intestine. The stool test will say...

    Going Bald In Less Than A Year, Need Advice

    If you have a very low red blood cell count and you have been getting iron IV's (which I have also gotten in the past) then you have a serious condition to investigate. You could die in a year from whatever is causing it, I know because I almost died myself. Unless you have been checked...

    A very low red blood cell count probably means recent internal bleeding, since your iron levels are normal. Your body has enough iron to replace what you're losing, so you need to have a doctor find the source of bleeding. You can look up that a low red blood cell count can also cause hair loss...

    Should A Person Witnessing Hairloss Start With Topical Or Oral Finasteride?

    Start with a very low dose of oral finasteride, and after a few weeks bump it up a little and then a few weeks later bump it up some more until you take a normal dose. If you are asking which is more effective, then the oral dose at full strength is the best. Don't be surprised to have side...

    Your hair still looks great relative to many others. and I would tell you what drug you need to take to keep all that but you won't do it, so I'll save my breath. In three more years you will figure it out, after it is too late.

    Going Bald In Less Than A Year, Need Advice

    2 months on finasteride isn't long enough to know anything about how it affects your hair, other than the weak hairs will drop off and you will think it isn't working. It takes 6 months to notice anything since hair grows back slowly, and a year to really tell the difference. Absolutely no one...
