Hey Gang, I've been visiting for about a month now. Thought I'd write about my situation. 34 year old male, started noticing hair thinning 3 years ago. It's been a slow process, but lately (and I mean in the past month) it has gotten extremely bad. My hair right now is as thin and brittle as you can imagine. Especially right after a blow dry. It doesn't feel like hair. It feels like tiny wisps of thin hay. I have severe recession, i mean it is Waaaay back, so when people say to me "Just Shave It" I tell them i can't because of the recession. I started noticing since Christmas My hairline on front is receding or as I was told by a hair transplant specialist "Miniturizing." I guess my hair has been thin most of my life, I just had a LOT of it. So it looked thick. And I could manage it. I can feel it getting lighter daily and I'm noticing a lot falling out. Short hais and long hairs. For the past year or so I've noticed an feeling of almost like "needles" being sticking in my head.
I've been on Propecia for 14 months now. I don't see it doing any help. I understand it might have slowed it but now It's not working. I've tried minoxidil but it left my head tingling and I don't see that working either. Actually I think it might have contributed to my severe recission. I do like nizoral, and I can't say if it works, but it does help, though my head still has dandruff. Not as much as before but some. I dread washing my hair every day. I see a lot of hairs come out in my hands and in the shampoo. Actually it seems my hair has more volume wet then dry. My head where my recession is and my forehead is always quite oily lately as well.
I've tried Folicure Shampoo for the past 5 weeks or so and it seemed the first week or so my hair was thickening. Now it in the state I described above. I can feel my hair loss on my scalp., My hair is now thin and brittle on the back as well Where I always had very thick hair.
Well as you can imagine it's extremely devestating. I'm diagnosed with OCD and manic-depression during my life. But I always had my hair. LoL. Now I'm losing that.
Well that's my story. Trying different cures. I don't know if this is "a "Shedding" phase or if this is truly the beginning of the end. Guess We'll see.
