Is there still hope for me??

[Jadouglas]

Hello all,

I am not sure where to go next and am looking for some advice...

First started noticing hair loss back in July 2001 (I was 19) and immediately got on prescription propecia and began using rogaine 1-2 times per day. I also started using nizoral per the advice of the board. The big three have been a constant for me (except for the change from propecia to proscar to generic finasteride, and a change to the rogaine foam about a year ago), and continue to be the foundation of my routine

In 2004 I added Folligen which i use a couple of times a week (less often now simply because my scalp used to go crazy flaking badly to the rogaine, a problem solved by the foam)

Last year, i added spironolactone cream once a day and 0.5mg dutas/avodart every day (alternating days with the two meds)

Bottom line is that i am pretty sure all of this has worked to slow the progression, but theres also no question that every year my hair loss has gotten worse (i am diffuse thinning pretty much all over)

Is there hope of anything i can add that will all but stop the loss at this point, because as bad as things are, I would be quite happy if i could maintain my current levels

Thanks in advance guys

Seems like your already doing pretty much all you can with a regimen, and you started it early too. If thats not working I dont think anything else will make a difference.

Sry, but there is basically no hope left for you if you are still losing ground with your treatments. You might add Oral spironolactone. It would help but is said to be some pretty heavy stuff (I have no experience myself).

Good Luck and pray for something better to come out!
