1) Screw doctors, unless you cna get 'em to write you a script which for Proscar or Avodart and you use it to claim your drugs on benefits.
2) They'll all be the same- Propecia and minoxidil is what they'll suggest.
3) I totally recommend transplants. I went to Dr. Alvi Armani almost 4 months back. The experience wasn't ideal but he didn't botch anything I couldn't fix (meaning I pulled out some transplanted hairs with tweezers which I thought weren't in the right place) and when my hairs grow in I am going to be so much further along than if I never went the transplant route. If you are concerned with a big piece of your scalp being removed, they can also just pluck out your hair follicles individually and place them up front. It costs more but this way there is no big scar at the back of your head, and also I can't see how it's be dangerous at all.

FC,
dam, thats weird!! 99% of Armani patients love their expierence and work (not talking about the final result). Sorry to hear you didnt like your hairline. i going to him soon and i will see him a day before the surgery. i will be demanding equal symmetry on both sides instead of the typical one side being higher. Anyway, do you have any pics. dont worry, i wont slam you if you dont want to. anyway, i guess what is important is the great possibility of a high yield and you now have learned from this. i am a perfectionist.

what u need to start any regimen is finasteride or dutasteride. sounds like u just need finasteride, but if you're advanced, i say go on 0.5mg of dutasteride 3 times a week. get Fincar (finasteride) or Dutas (dutasteride) from http://www.inhousepharmacy.com or http://www.unitedpharmacies.com. i wouldn't bother with a doctor unless u have fragile health or a liver problem or something.

Some pre-op pics were taken of me. They never mailed them to me. I don't want to call them up asking for them though.

There are no "serious" side effects for Propecia and most important: They are all reversible when you stop taking it. Give it a try, it is definetly healthier than smoking or eating lots of Junk Food at McDonalds. Good Luck to you!
