I been visiting this website for a long time, and I know what all of you are going through. I know what its like to lose interest in everything you found joy in, I also know what its like to feel unworthy of love, our pain is worse because we are silent sufferers..Nobody seems to understand how we feel till it happens to them..Whats worse about this illness is its the type that people laugh at.
My story ain't probably much different than yours.
I guess I was about 25 or so when I first noticed my hair was more managable, I didn't seem to mind this at first, because I had alot of hair.
but a few more months would only confirm that I was thinning, I was recovering from the worse breakup of my life..so I pinned it on stress.
The thought of male pattern baldness crossed my mind, so I decided to go see a dermatologist..It was probably one of the worse days of my life.
The doctor looked at my hair for about 2 minutes and told me I was in the early stages of male pattern baldness.
My heart sunk, it felt like I got kicked in the gut, I was completely devastated, he wrote me up a slip for Propecia, and left the room.
Just like that?...I thought the doctor was crazy and I crumbled up the slip and threw it in his basket, How could he come to that conclusion after only 2 minutes of lookin at me...so I left in complete denial.
Months later I finally had to come to terms that maybe the doctor was right after all. So I called him and asked if he could write me up a slip again. The doctor was understanding.
My first trip to the pharmacy was the worse, I waited about 30 minutes before I grew enough cheek to ask what was takin so long, She asked me for my name, and what I was on, and she asked the huge staff in the back if there was any PROPECIA in the back...I was so embarrassed, there was alot of hott girls there and alot of people in the waiting area. I wanted to punch that lady right in the face, who was she to say what I was on so openly?...I mean these things are so suppose to be kept quiet right?...I remembered I wanted to just die at that very moment She was askin her staff as if I was ordering a Big Mac or somethin.
I got home and took the first pill...I remember it made me quite ill.
it might of been the anxiety, who knows?
But in a nutshell I have been on Propecia/Proscar for 2 years and 2 months...and I have been on Nizoral for maybe a year
its been a rollercoaster ride, I don't have noticable hairloss, but my hairline receded, well just one damm side, so it makes me look really dumb, well atleast to myself.
I been thinkin of Rogaine, but I dunno with all the horror strories I keep hearin. ahwell I hope theres some medical breakthrough..for everyones sake
Thanks for letting me rant
