Will you at least finally admit that in under three years I have thinned dramatically.
You may have mentioned this already, but this is a long thread - did the derms you saw check for miniaturisation?Accepting age and a notable decline, why even use these treatments if they are ineffective against age related male pattern baldness? That’s really where a I get tripped up... 14 dermatologists 2 biopsies and no one will call the AA but they all will say the shedding is abnormal and the sheer number of new hairs is also abnormal related to shed.
If I can break the nightmare that comes
With every shower I’ll chill out. The shed is so f*****g distracting no matter what I’m doing or experiencing I am constantly distracted by falling hair.
would you stop the treatments? Go harder more Dutasteride RU?
Any thoughts on how the Iron IV slowed down the shed and made the hair 400% better for 2 months? Ferritin dropped under 100 and shed started again. Oral Iron at crazy doses never raised my ferritin.
I don't know if I would use the word "dramatically". Your hair dry looks totally normal for your age. Yes, you have lost some density but normal at your age. I can't stress enough how I see most men with great hair all their lives start to decline in the 40's and 50's. However, I do see some exceptions but they are mostly hispanic or middle eastern and tend to have super low hairlines.Will you at least finally admit that in under three years I have thinned dramatically.

Get a grip...no need to be suicidal as people have tried to put things in perspective for you...there are far worst things...you hair is better than most for your age...focus on the positive instead of the negative. Obsession and dwelling over this one thing is not good. Maybe STOP all hair loss meds and coming on here so often, and looking in mirror would benefit your mental well-being.Yes it’s fucked up and probably didn’t have to go this way this fast. The treatments 100% accelerated a situation that would have been far more gradual. Makes it even hard to deal with, also knowing that there is probably an answer even if it’s transplants etc. to make things better. I’ve been willing and able to put for the resources but haven’t been able to get any consistent medical guidance for 3 years. And while sure there still a lot of hair, it is a fraction of what it was. Makes me suicidal.
density if decimated and doesn’t stop shedding
I bought a ton of CB a while back from Alibaba and didn’t use it that long because I had another Telogen Effluvium and horrible shed while on it. I don’t know if it’s fake or my Telogen Effluvium was a result from being on oral finasteride even though I was off of it for a while or whatever. Let me know if you want it free of charge but chill out. You don’t know how bad things can get. My hair was pretty good before starting finasteride and then it all went to hell and I lost so much hair that never fully recovered and it is diffused much worst then I lost a close relative that I would gladly be bald for or do anything to bring that person back. You have it easy ffs.This is the kind of hair that’s falling out now with even the slightest touch from my forelock and hairline. This is .75 inch most are about .5. Looks like thinning/tapered roots.
I could have stopped this and I failed. I just bought a ton of CB that will probably never make it to the US or will be fake. I’m desperate. Want to die really, this is so f*****g defeating. My hairline was still solid in June. My hair was black now it’s all gone even after jumping back on Propecia. WTF.
This is such a joke.. to be in your 40s and have that kind of hair? Get off this forum loser and go live your life. You are so fking lucky.This is the kind of hair that’s falling out now with even the slightest touch from my forelock and hairline. This is .75 inch most are about .5.

Sorry to hear about your loss. I know things are far more important. Just the sheer uncertainty and hopelessness that comes after the already risky treatments fail is hard to manage. Did you get -any better when you stopped Finasteride? These dermatologists keep saying Telogen Effluvium when I know there is miniaturization, false hope, wasted effort. Iron ZiC was the only positive in three years but only lasted two months. I really just want 15 minutes an hour without having a hair in my mouth/shoulder/keyboard/food... 3 years of this driving me insaneI bought a ton of CB a while back from Alibaba and didn’t use it that long because I had another Telogen Effluvium and horrible shed while on it.

Yeah i got better..im over the intense Telogen Effluvium..shedding burning itching and i had 3 Telogen Effluvium and really was detrimental to my density. Btw i never had this prior to finasteride only on it and off it. I am still on finasteride but topically...things has improved but still working to get back density and Telogen Effluvium seem to no longer come back. Im on fluridil, min, finasteride, retinol topical once a day. No more taking hair loss drugs orally.
At what point will you accept it? I have been fighting for over 15 years and my hair continues to lose density even with all my treatments. I am still here. No suicide attempts. How are you going to cope if you continue to lose in the next 12 more years? You keep spending money on all these doctors and you still don't get it. Genes can turn on balding at any time in your life as long as you have the balding gene. 40 years old was your magic number. People like Ronald Reagan who don't have the balding gene don't go bald.

Manny that sounds like a decent approach. I have only gotten worse on oral Propecia and not sure it’s worth the risk anymore. All in on topical seems like the most sustainable and practical option.Yeah i got better..im over the intense Telogen Effluvium..shedding burning itching and i had 3 Telogen Effluvium and really was detrimental to my density.

@Calikid dude you post the same three pictures that show the same lack of change with some random dots to make yourself feel better. At 43 I am healthier stronger and more successful than you’ll ever be. This is one probably I can’t solve and I’m not going to give up. If venting in this twisted *** forum keeps the sh*t out of my real life then whatever.You're a joke and everyone that thinks you're balding is a joke. People need to stop feeding into your bullshif and stop trying to advise you.
