Re: Very pleased so far...(pics)
Hi guys...I haven't posted in a long time because there hasn't really been any change since my last update. Everything is still looking good and my measly 0.5mg of finestride a day is keeping my hair nicely intact.
I think it has been close to 3 years, and I imagine since I stopped regaining hair I will start to slowly lose it around the 5 year mark, if not sooner. At that point, I will probably up my dosage to 1.0mg (or get on dutasteride), increase rogain applications to twice a day, use 2% Nizoral (as opposed to the 1% I'm using now) and see if I can't keep my hair for another ~3 years. At that point, it will be 2011 and technology will be able to restore my hair to circa 1999...right? :mrgreen:
Seriously though, finding this site and deciding to start battling my hair loss was one of the single greatest things that could have happened to me. Even if I do eventually lose the fight, I managed to go from feeling completely terrible about what was happening to me on a daily basis to not even thinking about it anymore...not to mention I will have been able to delay the hair loss until after I was finished with graduate school and starting a career, so that now I feel much more at ease with the idea of going bald.
Thanks to everyone who has been supportive, and good luck to those who are fighting the good fight.
