Well, one year has passed so here goes;
My hair has thickened up nicely and I have regrown some on the temples too. All in all I am satisfied with the results.
I use finasteride+nizoral only and I excercise 3-4 times a week and eat MSM+Omega3.
However, despite the good results I keep a buzzed head of hair now (4mm). I am thinking of dropping the finasteride and just wait for something better to come out which I am confident it will in the coming 4-5 years and just forget about this whole hairloss thing. It doesnt bother me the same as it used to. I think the actual chock came because of the sudden change in appareance but now I have had time to adjust to it and I lost one good year of my life worrying about something as stupid as hair. My father is a nw6 and I asked him the other day if he would pay 1000$ for a full head of hair and he said, sure why not.
But it doesnt bother him being a nw6, he doesnt think twice about it. I am adapting the same mentally. If something really good comes out in the future I will buy into it.
Reason why I am thinking of dropping finasteride is the whole eat-the-pill procedure, the reminder factor, I'm tired of that.
I think I can keep what I have with nizoral and healthy living and if not well 4mm buzzing takes care of it anyway.
The good thing that came out of this whole mess is this; I realized I was living wrong, I was stressing, eating wrong and not caring about my overal health. I just thought I would keep on being a young boy all my life but all of that suddenly ended. I'm closing to 26 now and I got other plans than to worry about all of this. Another good thing is all the knowledge out there. I have really enjoyed both Barry's and Harolds posts and CCS posts too, they are intellectually engaged in the subject and I have enjoyed following their discussions.
Anyway, I'm off from this forum with the final words;
finasteride does work and so does nizoral. Don't worry about the sides, they are rare and just keep your head high for there will come a final cure any year now.
Ciao.
