Sheds, Dermatologists, and Nizoral 1%

[johnboy]

Here lately I have been talking alot about Xandrox and the Gardener has answered entirely and for that I am greatful. Results dont come easy and especially quickly for this sort of thing. I had not even known about Nizoral befor this forum. My Dermatologist is an a**h**. He tries as quickly as possible to leave the room. I feel like talking to a f*****g brick wall when going to see him. I hate it. When I had to go see him he looked at my scalp and said HMMM.... androgenic alopecia. I said what do we do. He said, take this come back in a year. It was a scrip. for Propecia which is exactly what I needed to do. But no advice on Shampoo's or any friendly dialogue whatsoever. Why didnt I switch Doctors, because he is the only one in my town that is on my insurance. I could go to one in a larger city 20 miles away which is what I am probably going to do just because I dont want to give him the business. O.K. I started shedding for about 4 months and it was devistating. It has stopped and I feel wonderful. I almost quit, but held out and with this forum I feel I have earned a PHD in androgenic alopecia. VERY VERY HELPFUL. I have attacked this with a vengence religiously using Monoxodil and I dont mind the greasiness that much, I just like to b**ch sometimes. Anyway the shedding has stopped and Holyhell Ive started noticing growth. Especially the texture of the shafts. I am very responsive to my hairloss and know if ive lost 10 or gained 10. The scalp quality, feels good, doesnt itch, You guessed it, Nizoral. I think if you can break through a shed you will have mentally climbed a mountain. The only reason I have been so relentless on the question of Xandrox is because I want something that is extremely strong through the night and Monox. 5% during the day. So I'll be here watching, waiting, and reading. Feel free to answer back.

Johnboy, you are so RIGHT about doctors. Most of them really don't know very much about hairloss. When they are choosing their 'electives' in med school or wherever, it seems they certainly skip over androgenetic alopecia and spend more time on the big sh*t like cardiovascular surgery, plastic surgery, or whatever. The crowd here has done more research into published studies on hairloss treatments and know more about them that 99.9% of the general practitioners out there.

It sounds like you have the right attitude about tackling your hair loss. Given how you described your hair, Nizoral should be a big help. Personally, I think you should stick to the minoxidil, but if you are having problems with the greasiness then seriously consider trying a lower-PPG blend for the morning apps. Dr Lee makes an excellent 5% minoxidil, product #500 at http://www.xandrox.com. It dries in 15 mins.

I'll be sure to keep you posted on how my Xandrox experiment comes along. If you are dead set on trying it, then perhaps you should post your experiences with it here so others can learn from your results? However, given that you have only been using a month, you really should give it a go unless you are an older dude like me with some seriously dead follicles, so to speak.

After 3 months, the minoxidil really started to show some nice results for me, I hope you experience the same. The main lesson I learned is that consistency is key. If you try to get to complicated with your routine, then you stop keeping your routine every day, which is the kiss of death. When I really kept regular with it, tried my hardest not to miss a dosage and did my Nizoral twice or three times a week, things really took off. Best of luck to you and keep up the fight. If after 3 months you start seeing some sprouts, in a year you should be a very happy man.

johnboy, try using paragraphs!

You post some good stuff, man. Amen on the dermatologist thing. I hate doctors that act like they're in a hurry. f*****g pricks. It's one of the most important jobs in the world yet they act like you're just a number.
