The thing is, unless you come down with MS, get paralyzed, lose your eyesight, get severe 1st degree burns to your face or something that will strip you entirely of your quality of life like that, I can't possibly see how hair loss is not the worst thing that has ever happened to you. It strips...

I'd take chemical castration over hair loss any day. Really, I can't think of more than 3 conditions I'd consider worse than baldness. Unfortunately, the anti androgens left my manhood alone and went for the throat (the follicles) instead

In other words, "stop thinking about women"

I took finasteride for 18 months. It destroyed my density. I am now on month 10 on dutasteride and it's working on tearing up what remained. What do I do now?....

Reading through a lot of these posts is confusing to me. From my experience, hair loss is an extremely rare condition. I live in the Netherlands, and have to go to Amsterdam, one of the biggest and most heavily populated cities in the world from time to time. I'm looking, I'm ALWAYS on the...

Only one: being short...which I am now too. The reason I say "now" is because I'm 5'9, and have never been considered "short" until very recently. What changed? Did every man but me suddenly get taller? Have women's standards skyrocketed exponentially due to gynocentrism? Whatever changed, it...

Perhaps, but it only reinforces what I have said and doesn't even attempt to answer...why. WHY?! WHY is this disease so thoroughly minimized as a virtual non issue when the drastic consequences are so overt?! The potential massive hit to self image this curse causes alone should warrant it...

Don't you believe it. "They" is a damn liar. Rampant gynocentrism has made it so that every woman is a princess, nay, a goddess who deserves (most toxic word in the modern female vocabulary by far) a 6 foot 5 space shuttle commander named Dirk who moonlights as a hedge fund manager and has the...

Given the dire, morbid and objectively life ruining consequences of hair loss, why in the unholiest of f*** is it treated so lightly by society?! If we are depressed by our hair loss (or more the consequences that come with it) how is it acceptable to tell us to "man up" out of one corner of the...

I'm not a candidate for a transplant. I'm thinning globally. I've never heard of oestradiol. I'll look into it

I'm in the exact same situation. All doctors do is shrug and say "cope." Nothing in life, I repeat, NOTHING IN LIFE can be harder than this curse

THIS. MAN. SPEAKS. THE. TRUTH. "Coping" with an issue as crippling as hair loss is a meme. It's akin to telling someone to cope with being dead. It simply makes no sense

I have been diffuse thinning since the age of 24. Every second of every day has been dramatically different than it was before, in the most abysmal, nightmarish possible way. I am now 36, and in worse condition than ever. Hair loss has brought about a hell I previously never knew could...

Finasteride completely destroyed my density after 18 months of steady usage. I'd say a resounding NAY

My worst fear has been realized...I'm now 18 months into finasteride. It's official. Since starting this poison I have regressed rapidly without cessation. My density, from front to crown, is completely shredded. I have tried everything sans minoxidil for hair loss. And I mean everything...
