I believe that is the case nothing has really changed any. That’s why I believe I am at least maintaining. Here is a pic from about a year ago, when I first started finasteride.
Aggressive Diffuse Thinning Is Hell!

Tried minoxidil in the past for about 3 months, no noticeable change. Not even the “dreaded minoxidil shed”. Might try it again in the future, honestly, I still have anxiety about that shed.

If you grow your hair out a bit more I think it’ll cover a lot of your thinning.

Not good for me, I’ve lost a lot in the 7 months of being on finasteride.

That’s super depressing. Is there anyway way possible that diffuse thinners can recover thinning follicles? This whole process has been a sh*t show so far.

Hit 5 months on topical Finasteride. Lost at least .5 inches on hairline with the right temple going from 0 to 1.5/2.
Crown is holding but I’m still diffusing a lot.

Posted here what it looks like when combed + long hair btw in most recent post https://www.hairlosstalk.com/interact/threads/need-help-deciding-next-steps-post-derm-visit.119718/
All pics are right out of shower + wet. When it’s dry, you don’t see the thinnes at all, even in most pictures

Looks like NW2. Durasteride is not an approved medicine for the treatment of male pattern hair loss. its more effective in blocking DHT than finasteride and more consistant than finasteride. And you are not married and have children to take risks with this high power medicine. I too have heard some people talking about their great results with Durasteride, which probably is true. Durasteride dont have good community of people like finasteride. People who have taken durasteride may not help you, but people who have seen many people taking durasteride may help, that is city's popular hair loss doctor. now coming to diffuse hair loss, when it started? is that started suddenly in 1-2 months? if yes, you have 50-50 chances of regrow of diffuse lost hair in next few months. how many hairs are miniaturised among falling hairs? Looks like you maintaining hair good hair style by combing backwards, keep it as it is in home too, dont spend too much alone or with mirror, this reduces stress.

Left picture definitely better than right. A lot of treatments cause a shed... just don't give up before the regrowth. When I started oral minoxidil I had a terrible shed for about a month, but luckily concealers work perfectly for me after a couple of years of propecia, avodart, cysteine, d3, growth shampoos, etc.
After 6 months on oral minoxidil I can say that my hairline is just about perfect. Switched from 5mg to 10mg without any issues, hoping 6 more months at 10mg finishes me up.

Dutasteride month 3 is coming to a close along with my script. I have decided I will not be continuing treatment any further. It is not worth the effort, mental stress or the money to maintain the little on top I have. I have posted the last picture of my hair I took down below; picture was right after I applied minoxidil. I have decided to continue buzzing my hair in the future. I wish everybody luck in their fight, hopefully many of you overcome this terrible obstacle.

It takes balls to admit defeat and deal with it like a man. I salute you in recognition of a fight well fought, sir. One day I’ll join you on the other side 
My crown of my head literally looks like the same as yours but not as much diffuse thinning overall. How did you first notice your thinning as I am quite worried about mine aswell.
Here are some my pictures if you want to compares
Thank you!
