Hi guys
Sorry in advance, english is not my native language, but ill try to make myself clear.
about 8 months ago, i realized i was balding, actually this was the first time in my life i actually looked at my hair and thought i looked worse and worse - may be to the fact ive always have had long hair and always.have had a widows peak and high templates (due to my head shape) and genetics i guess
at that time i fell in love, and as you know, when that happens, every problem suddenly feels trivial.
This ended, and suddenly all the bald thoughts just cought up to me and i realized things had gotten a lot worse in very short time.
I went to a meeting with a really nice specialist, she told me everything about hair loss, research, products and so forth, it was really nice because i could really tell it was something she was fascinated about.
She said that a FUE wouldnt be a good idea right now, as iam in a middle of a "stage" and you never know how much of a impact such a "stage" causes, she told me her guess about my balding pattern (front receding templates, eventually and "island" on the front of my head, and then some scalp balding) i had no symptons of crown balding, but my templates and front were receding to a Norwood 3.
She suggested some things and by that i started this regimen:
Finasteride 1 mg daily, - 1. september,
Nizoral 2% - 2x weekly - 1. september,
quit smoking completely 1. september,
Priorin 3 tablets daily 1. september,
q10 and multivitamin (since forever)
320 mg, saw palmetto daily
Will start minoxidil in a week. (postponed due to the fact that the specialist had seen nearly no case of temple benefits)
And then if happened, 4 days after i started finasteride, i had a huge shed, hair were litteraly falling off me all the time,my crown out of nowhere became visible, and i had to vacuum the floor twice a week due to the embarrassment of all the hairs lying around, my hair got visibly thinner, and even my mom noticed when i came to visit.
4 weeks in i mailed the specialist about the happening, i she said that she actually expected it would happen when she saw me, but i should stay strong because due to her experience it stopped in about 2 months, and after 5- 6 months it would be at the start position, and if i was lucky it would be even better - (extremely lucky that is)
I tend to pull my hand through my hair pretty often these days, in about 4 days ago it seemed that the shed was still extreme, but were somehow decreasing.
And then i felt something maybe terrifying, maybe good, i dont know.
It almost felt like a had somehow of a Buzz cut under my actual hair, like you know that spiky feeling of extremely small hairs, but i havent buzzed my hair, actually i havent got a haircut in 2 months due to hairloss anxiety.
Do any of you have experienced this feeling? and what do you think it is? regrowth? my shedded hair coming back? or my hair simply giving up?
I would altso like to hear if some of you guys have had a simular balding process? it actually makes me a little happy to hear people stories and how they cope with this genetic joke we are a victim off.
