3 years 3 months
no change up there

stopped smoking weed:
change down there (not that I was having problems): morning erections, higher libido,
also more energy, more positive thinking...
Maybe a spike in testosterone?? maybe happier, less down hence more energy, more energy hence more sexual thougts, feelings...??

hope this will not affect my hairstatus...
thougts, opinions...

maybe I should add topical spironolactone or something but I doon't like the hassle of topical applications...also considering my bad experoience with minoxidil in the past(check older contributions to my story), but I DO want to keep my hair!
cheers

The last week or two I have been shedding more then normal and I think my hair gets more oily a little bit faster also a bit more itchy.

except for the first year the number of shed hairs was minimal compared to the days before propecia...

-Could this be a synchronised shed (did any of you experienced posters experience that)
-could this be the increase in testosterone from stopping smoking weed
-could this be the new batch of Propecia. I got from quality health inc.
-could this be a very stressfull (emotionally) two weeks I had about 2 months ago
-or is it more likely that it is starting to 'stop' working for me

??

So you think it's normal, why, can you elaborate on that?

I'm definately shedding now, I know this because my routine has always been the same,
I shower then comb my hair and see how much hairs are approximately stuck in the comb, It used to be max. 20 on non-shampooing days and approx. 50-60 on shampooing days... The last few weeks its >100 on shampooing days and >60 on non-shampooing days...

shedding stopped a week after writing the previous post WHAT A RELIEF!

I can only attribute it to the stress 2 months before that,
makes me wonder about the stress-aspect of my hairloss..

what kind of pattern hair loss were you experiencing when you started losing your hair.....was it duffuse thinning all around, or was your hairline receding....or both??

diffuse thinning in upside-down-V-shape, so it's wider in the front, my hairline is still quite allright the thinning is more pronounced behind the hairline.

Re: Damnthis' Story (4 years on finasteride, diffuse with pics(05/2007)

So it's been 4 years, never thought there would be something that could really help out with hairloss, but now 4 years down the road I have more hair then when starting out and I am maintaining that hair. Needless to say I am very happy.

I hope the graph about the finasteride-results from the FDA-tests goes back to baseline in a very steady decline due to non-responders losing more and more hair (and so pulling the graph down) or due to natural thinning of the hair because of aging.
