Hey everyone!
So I've been browsing the forum for the last week so I figured I should say hi.
So I have just turned 23 and male pattern baldness is in my family big time. My dad, grandfathers and uncle are all bald. So it was just a matter of time for me.
I started letting my hair grow in the beginning of the year and about two weeks ago I pulled it back to see what it would look like it it wasn't hanging in my face. To my horror I found a patch on my hairline that was looking really thin. I was totally freaked out. I was waiting for it to happen but just didn't think it would happen yet! Im too young to be old!
Anyway I went to the Doctor and got a prescription for Finpecia which I started taking on my 23rd birthday. Yay... So I've been on it for 4 days.
Im feeling pretty optimistic about it though
So Im thinking I'll just keep taking finasteride and not worry about my hairline for the moment. Obviously there is that thin patch that Im a little worried about but I'll wait and see what the finasteride does. What do you guys think?
The best part about this is I found out my hair is falling out after I just lost 20kgs and started feeling half decent about myself Oh Murphy, you are cruel!
1 month on Finpecia. I didn't win the lottery and get side effects. I'll admit that the first week I did feel kinda funky and it might have been the finasteride making me feel like that but Im going strong now.
2 months on Finpecia.
Still nothing much to report. I am quite comfortable being on finasteride. There might be fewer hairs in my hands when I shower. But I've really taken much notice of this anyway.
3 months on finasteride. Again, nothing to report. No side effects, no regrowth or further loss. So thats pretty good news
4 Months on finasteride
Absolutely fine. Zero side effects.
My hairline has bunch of short hairs around it and a few below. I honestly can't remember if they were always there and I lost the one decent picture I had from the day I started treatment. Sigh.. So I cannot say if things are getting better. But things are definitely not getting worse!
Some days I look at my hairline and Im like, "what am I ever worried about, I wonder if I really am losing my hair" And others Im like, "F*ck sh*t!! How could it have got so bad without me noticing!?!?
I've started working again so that keeps me really busy during the day and away from the forums which helps so much! Nothing worse than logging on and reading a thread about someone claiming that finasteride has stopped working of something like that.
