    Experiences with NHS GPs and hair loss treatments

    Much weaker erections, much great stimulation needed to achieve even these filmsy erections, loss of all morning/spontaneous erections, loss of libido (although this followed the former issues so I don't know if this was just down to the physiological effect of my erections being an absolute...

    Experiences with NHS GPs and hair loss treatments

    The main issue I've found with NHS GPs is their wildly differing knowledge/attitude on the subject. When I first noticed my hairloss I went to see my GP; he explained to me all about finasteride/minoxidil (which he knew a great deal about) and although on balance recommended going bald gracefully as a...

    Boots Hair Retention Programme

    Wouldn't say their Propecia has a 'mark-up', as such. Costs £30 a month if you get a 3 month supply with them. You're not going to to find geniune Propecia cheaper than that in the UK. You'll be paying more like £35 a month in you manage to get a prescription through your GP.

    Do you begrudge celebrities who have surgery?

    Noticed a couple of interesting comments in another thread where people seemed pissed off that famous people had hair transplant surgery and it got me thinking whether in general I'm annoyed when celebrities have work done on their hair. I like to think I'm someone who doesn't care what the 'stars' are...

    Propecia in London

    If you want propecia and not a different finasteride alternative, then Boots hair retention programme seems to be the cheapest place.

    Johnny Vaughan on discrimination against baldies

    Let's be fair, I'm sure there are plenty of people on here who poked fun at bald men now and again before they realised it was happening to them. Problem is that from the outside looking in, it doesn't really seem like something that really negatively affects a guy's life much so most...

    Alpecin TV ad in the UK

    Yep Regaine Foam absolutely everywhere during the advert breaks at the moment. Heard the women in the office having a lovely conversation the other day about what sad acts must use it, understanding as always the morons I work with.

    minoxidil - ringing in ear

    Probably use less than the reccomended dose to be honest. Only apply it on two specific areas rather than trying to cover my whole scalp with it. A 'one month supply' can of rogain foam lasts me a few days over the month, whereas I know people who get through one a fortnight.

    minoxidil - ringing in ear

    I've been on minoxidil (rogaine foam) for about 3 months now and in the past week I've been experiencing a sudden high pitched ringing sound in one ear which lasts for about 10 seconds and is followed by a short period where my hearing is noticeably muffled until it gradually returns to normal...

    spironolactone - Any clear success stories?

    Just joined the forum as I've been lurking for far to long and I'm after some oprions. I'm 25 years old, Norwood 2/3. I tried finasteride a couple of times but had to stop due to the sexual sides. They weren't horrific and I'm sure plenty of men would have considered them not significant enough to stop...

    Trying finasteride again after sides....

    Just joined the forum and understand that you might think the opinion of a one post wonder isn't worth much but I've been experiencing and extensively researching hair loss for a long time now and what I would say is: Firstly, although that guy's experience of the results from once a week finasteride...
