1. I'm 21 now and my frontal hairline has moved back with my temples recession gradually from the age of 16
2. I have experienced/noticed the temples thinning in a pattern that’s going to leave me with an island at the front in the last 6 months
2. I Started Propecia mid January but have been off Propecia for 2 weeks because i developed side effects.
3. Used Rogaine off on and on and developed an itchy oily scalp and massive loss of hair.
I'm prescribed propecia by my pharmacist (Boots) which does a 'hair retention scheme' at the 3 month marker appointment I told her the following:
Painful ejaculation (Main cause for concern)
Redness inflamed penis (Next main worry)
Loss of Libido
Weird aches and pains from the penis/testes
Procedure meant that i had to come off propecia because i was reporting side effects because all have developed on the 3 months since taking the pills. She filled in a drug complaint form which has been sent to Merck.
However she told me she didn’t believe it was the drug and that it was an unrelated issue and her first thought was that I had an STI, however i knew this was likely to be the response i would get so I had already gone and got screened twice giving me the all clear. She then rang my doctor to inform him and arrange a special appointment.
I went to the Appointment and found my Doctor was very understanding but he told me straight away he was very sure it was nothing to do with the drug and that he and the pharmacist believed it was just a coincidence that these symptoms had developed at the same time.
My symptoms all fit with something known as prostatis but again he didn’t believe that the drug had triggered the prostatis as apparently finestrade is used to treat the prostate. His next procedure was a prostate examination, to which he found the prostate mildly inflamed with a groove in it? He had no real answer to that. However he really did not seem concerned that this was anything major the whole time. He prescribed CIPRO a heavy duty Antibiotic, and now im waiting to see him again.
In the mean time all the symptoms have gone
No painful ejaculation, Massive boom in libido, redness caused by inflammation has gone down so it doesnt look like someone has strangled it and aches and weird discomfort have all gone.
However because the doctor and pharmacist took me off the propecia and within a week started cipro its hard to know what’s done what?
If its the CIPRO then perhaps i could restart Propecia and save my hair.
If its the Propecia can someone please help me with a simple and cheap regimen that is second best to not being able to take propecia, i was thinking of Regaine foam. Have read up on 'Firsts' 2 month success story with his complex regimen but a lot of work an time goes into such a programme and I cant afford all that.
Thank you
