Ok, well my story is pretty typical of a lot of people on here. I'm 28 now and I first noticed my hairline receding slightly back when I was 20. I was pretty uneducated and I basically just sucked it up and decided not to do much and just live with it. I kept my hair a little longer and just covered it up while I tried Rogaine for about 3 months and then quit because it seemed like I was losing more hair than before. Fast forward 8 years and now in the past couple of months, my hair is starting to really shed like crazy. My hairline has receded back further and now I'm wishing that I tried something more back 8 years ago when I first noticed what was going on. My hair is a little longer than it should be and it hides my receding and thinning hair a little, but it's getting worse. I hope I don't have to start shaving my head because my skull is shaped in a weird way that looks awful. I tried shaving it once and it was so oblonged and looked hideous. I wanted to start the big three but now all I'm back on is Minoxidil and now I added Nizoral 1% just a week ago. I tried to start Propecia but my doctor laughed and basically said to accept it because the side effects weren't worth me keeping my hair. So I'm trying to find another specialized doctor that would at least consider this. I can't afford the surgery, I don't care how much it's financed, I'm in way too much debt and I'm just a counselor for substance abuse users that's paid by the state so money is tight enough as it is. I'm hoping to hold on to my current level of hair but I'm not too hopeful right now, especially since my doctor won't prescribe any type of Propecia. Sorry this is so long, I didn't think that I would type this much, but once I start babbling it just keeps pouring out. Below is what my hairline currently is...damn it's hard to get a decent pic of yourself.
