All I can say is I got what I deserved. When I was young (and had a great head of hair) I used to enjoy laughing at guys with bald heads. I used to get a kick out of making fun of my older cousins, my father, even my parish priest! If anything has lead me to believe in karma, it's the fact that I taunted a religious man about his hairloss. On church youth group missions, I used to lead the bald jokes about our priest (who was about the same age then as I am now-27). He laughed them off but I'm sure he was secretly talking with the man upstairs about when to take my hair.
My dad used to caution me about making fun of hairloss, insisting that I would soon be a victim. I figured he didn't know what he was talking about because my hair was different. Right? I was wrong! In the last few years, my hair started falling out at a very rapid pace. I went from a I to a IV on the norwood scale in three years. Karma is a b**ch! Now I'm the butt of the bald jokes. I can't count the number of times in the last year that someone has commented or teased me on my lack of hair. The most memorable would be a few weeks ago when I saw my former parish priest at a church fundraiser. He told me that he was flattered I decided to copy his hairstyle (in front of about five cute girls I was hoping he would introduce me to). I pretended I didn't hear him and proceeded to introduce myself to the girls hoping they didn't catch on. But my old friend didn't drop it there. He proceeded to tell the girls how I gave him a hard time about his hair loss when I was younger. The girls all got the joke and quickly chimed in with comments of their own. (I'm sure they all thought I was an arrogant prick who got what I deserved).
I've been using extra strength minoxidil for about a year and just started taking propecia about six months ago. I've seen no regrowth but I haven't noticed an increase in hair loss. I appreciate the treatment suggestions/testimonials available on this site. Hopefully, I'll have better luck trying some of your suggestions.
I post my story in the hopes that I can redeem myself. I was young, arrogant, and incredibly stupid! I thought hairloss wouldn't happen to me. Share my story with the people that give you trouble. I know I share my experience with them (and laugh a little on the inside) Tell them to wait, karma is a b**ch!
