Hey guys,
Quick update. I've been using Rogaine foam since late December of last year, as well as taking .5mg of Propecia and 1mg of MSM daily. Here is what's happening:
Before I started the treatment, my hair was beginning to look so thin that even Toppik wasn't helping me cover it up. When I'd come out of the bathroom after taking a shower, I'd put a hat on and wear it entire day when sitting in my room because I didn't want my dad to find out about my condition (he has full hair). It was so bad that I couldn't hide it no matter what I did.
Since I started my treatment, my hair grew like crazy and by late February/early March, I was actually able to go to school without a hat on, or without Toppik. I was able to shower, dry my hair and comb it and it looked thick. I didn't need to apply anything else. I hadn't been able to do that in almost a year. Very good results.
It's almost May now and I'm beginning to shed. My hair still looks thick, but I'm seeing hair on my fingers when I apply Rogaine and run the foam through my hair. I also lose some hair when I comb, maybe around 10-20.
I'm not exactly enjoying losing my hair which I just got back but I remember reading that shedding when using Propecia/Rogaine is normal, so I hope that is indeed a good sign. I'm trying to maintain a positive attitude, but I admit I have been a little concerned about the fact that I'm shedding so late into my treatment, around month 5. I imagined it would've happened earlier than that but I guess we all respond different.
But anyway, so here is my update. I think this stuff really works great and I urge anybody that has been thinning not to be afraid, and just jump on Propecia and Rogaine, they do wonders. I'm experiencing no side effects, and I think that's the case with most people. Any questions let me know.
