What up fellas?
My third year annivarsy of treatment just passed a few days ago. Here it is.
Background: At 18 I noticed some temporal recession but thought nothing of it, but when i noticed that the top frontal region of my hair was thinning I freaked out. I shed like a motherfucker and it looked bad. I noticed the top region of my head looked thinner then the rest of my hair.
Treatment: I started propecia Jan. 20, 2004 and started Rogaine a few days later. I only applied rogain to my templed and I let the finasteride handle my diffuse thinning up top. I switched to proscar a 2 months later and generic minoxidil. T-Gel has always been my favorite shampoo in the male pattern baldness battle.
Progress/shedding: Yes I shed like a b**ch for what seemed like 4 months strait. Finally it slowed a LITTLE bit, but then restarted. At 6 months the shed slowed a bit. I noticed very little difference in my hair at 6 months even after all that sheddding. I periodically shed until 9 months. By 9-12 months I could tell the finasteride was working very well. The thin vertex of my hair right behind my hairline was recovering. Shedding pretty much stopped ssoon after. I went through a shed a year ago that lasted around 2 months.
Results: 3 years later, I'm 21 now and I'm fuckiing happy with my hair. When I first started I was scared that I would be 21 and noticebly balding. I was just hoping to maintain my hair. I definately got much more than that. \Finasteride keeps on working. I'm lazy as f*****g hell with minoxidil. I used it religiously twice a day for 7 months when I first started and I got some decent growth on my receded temples. Then I did once a day. Then I did it on average once every other day and sometimes would go weeks without using it. Nowadays I'm trying to get back to applying the minoxidil twice a day. I want to see if I can stimulate some growth. I will be taking pictures to chart this.
Peace out my balding brothers.
