Hey all, good to see the forum still alive and most members still kicking!
Been almost 2 years since I started on the Big 3, which only lasted 2 months! I'm 27 years old and first noticed my hairloss pattern starting around age 21, in the same pattern as my father's exactly. My uncle has a full head of hair so that old line wasn't true for me! At 25 I began research and (thankfully) wound up on this forum. After 2 months on the big 3 I was seeing immediate results. Unfortunately, I was seeing results in my behavior as well. My energy levels had dropped dramatically and my libido was lowered as well. I was trying to get into shape at the time and made a clear decision to do that over maintaining/growing my hair. I continued the Nizoral, Fish Oil, Flax Seed, and continued eating very healthy (this was all hairloss inspired!)
16 lbs of muscle and -10% body fat later I'm taking another go at it. That means Proscar split into 6 (0.83MG), Nizoral Shampoo, and minoxidil daily.
This is me 2 months into the Big 3 - April 2008. Hair was stabilizing and coming back!
This is me taken today, November 1 2010. Hair is much worse, but probably could have been going more aggressively had I done nothing to change my diet (at least I'd like to think!)
Time will tell if there's still hope for my hairline, and if I can weather the sides this time around. Good luck to everyone else and don't overlook improving other parts of your life!
