***NEW PIX JUST ADDED, JUNE 1ST, 06***
I came to this forum in Feb 05, fresh off a divorce and pretty damn bald. I got inspired to give it a shot, thanks to all you POSITIVE posters, and here I am! I'm 36, started losing hair when I was 19, with accelerated loss the last three years. Perhaps stress induced, I don't know... I take 1mg Finpecia/daily, 2-3 ml 5% Kirkland minoxidil at night only (covering the entire affected area thoroughly), ***(changed to two daily apps of 1.5ml in April '06) American Crew Revitalize shampoo & conditioner 2X/week, 2% Nizoral 3X/week & Nioxin Actives 2X/week. I also use the AC Revitalize Spray Solution every other day... it's great for when the itch flares up. It magically and instantaneously disappears! The Revitalize serum causes me to break out badly, so i stopped using it. I am not plugging these products, they're just what works for me! I started them all at the same time so i don't know which is the main contributor, but I did have an acceptably reduced sex-drive foir the first few months, a forest continues to grow out of my nostrils, and occasional breast soreness (none after month 6), no noticable tit growth.... yet. My scalp is healthy as can be & it feels really wierd to run my hands thru my hair now. I have not seen my frontal hairline move forward a whole lot, but it has filled in substantially and there is a "hairline" now. Temples have crept forward a bit. Right now (month # 12) I have just noticed another round of new growth, alot of hairs at about 1/2 inch in length & stubble on the scalp. I went through pretty consistant shedding from months 6 - 9 and that stopped when I switched to two minoxidil applications/day. Coincidence? who knows... I'm still re-growing & I'm happy as a clam !
These 1st 2 pictures were taken day #1 of treatment:
