hi everyone,
when i first started reading these boards, i always liked a good old fashion update or success story - so here it goes:
i'd say im nw2ish, with slight overall thinning. ive been using propecia for 2 months, nizoral for 3, and minoxidil for 2 (1x daily). i can say with confidence that i'm sprouting tiny new hairs on my temples where hair hasn't been for a year or two (i'm quite surprised it's happened relatively quickly). i haven't really had bad shedding yet, but i'm sure it'll come with time. my libido has been up and down since starting propecia and i'd love to get off of it in favor of spironolactone or something, but you can't argue with its effectiveness. i'd attribute the regrowth to the minoxidil definitely, nizoral has cured my dermatitis and overall crappy scalp condition (and i'm only using 1%). i'll keep everyone updated as i enter the 6 month mark, and year mark and so on. i've just incorporated some emu oil into my regimen every couple days after my minoxidil application, and it's helped with the aching/uncomfortable feeling on my scalp. also, i've been shampooing with the revivogen shampoo for about 3-4 months, because i love the way it feels on my scalp. the only problem is, it's 25 bucks/bottle, so i'm looking into a more cost effective shampoo (any ideas??). i'm looking forward to increased results of my regimen in the future, and of course ill let everyone know how it's going
