Greetings all,
Long time reader, first time poster
Started losing my hair at around 22 and like most of us i just denied it and didnt want to think about it. Gradually got worse and people started to notice which then made me fall into a pretty deep depression. I do have a liver condition called Gilberts Syndrome which means my bilirubin levels are higher than normal it also means my liver doesnt function like everyone elses and takes quite a while to process things like alcohol, hence my 3-4 day hangovers lol. GS has also been linked to foggy brain, depression, anxiety, jaundice, all of which i suffer from. So i thought that the GS could be a reason behind my hairloss, still a little curious as to whether its a factor :dunno: What are your thoughts on this??
Anywho im 25 now and have been on Rogaine for 18 months, 12 of which were the liquid but i now use the foam (sooo much better!!). Also take multi vitamins, fish oil and Nizoral twice a week.
Started to get pretty thin on top aswell as my hairline creeping further and further back. Finally got the balls to shave it off last July and it has made me less conscious about it, big relief! Id say im a Norwood 2.5 . I do believe the Rogaine etc has slowed my hairloss down, but i think its time to start kicking some DHT ***! So im wanting to get onto Propecia, probably .5mg a day. I am a little concerned about it hurting my my liver but. Im really wanting to get abit more thickness happening aswell as try and recover my hairline.
Would love to hear your thoughts
