I'll get to see a doctor in January (I hope), and hopefully I'll get Propecia. Should I start using Minoxidil/Rogaine in the meantime? I'm 20 (born in late 1984), a diffuse NW2.5 and have been losing hair since the age of sixteen. If I was to be adviced to; I could get on Minoxidil today, in a few hours. I've been sceptic about medical treatments for the past few years; but I don't really feel like I have very much to lose anymore (pun not intended).
(Oh. This is my first post, by the way. I've been lurking in the shadows of the hairsite-forums for some years; and I must say that I really prefer the tone in the discussions I've found here over that found at the hairsite board. This seems to be a great board; especially in comparison.)

Since none have answered yet; I'd like to add a question. My hair is most noticable thinner (much thinner) than it was a year ago, but during all this time, I've not been able to pull out a single hair without using the same (or maybe even greater) force that I'd have to use on a hair growing on the sides. I haven't seen any shedding at all; nothing on the pillow and nothing in the shower. Where does it go? O_O
