Hi everybody, I've been lurking around here for a few weeks now but finally decided to man up and register for the forums.
I'm 23, but I believe I've been gradually losing my hair since I was 17. I think my earlier memory was in high school Spanish class a few hairs were on my desk. I kept running my hands through my hair and a few would come out each time!! Surely I was too young for hair loss, so after a few stressful days I dismissed the idea.
Along came college and I had received a few playful comments about my "receding hairline" from friends and team mates, but it's amazing how well you can convince yourself there isn't a problem when there is. I reeeeally disliked my hair from age 19-23. Even now I sort of cringe. It's a source of slight embarrassment and I finally cracked one day and decided to hit the doctor (who prescribed me Propecia) and I began using Minoxidil ~30 days ago and Finasteride ~10 days ago.
Call me crazy, but I wish I had joined the forums the moment I started my regimen because I sincerely have spotted tiny new hairs in my temple region.
Anyhow, I'd like to post some photos as a baseline, and document my progress through the year. I have high hopes! But, of course, hair isn't everything and we'd all do well to consider Darfur in our "time of crisis"
More pics to come! Until then, enjoy my ugly mug!
