Hello all - plan to post regularly but I guess this is a good a place to start as anywhere.
Well my story....basically I have always had long,thickish hair. Several christmas' ago around the dinner table (I think at least 4 years ago) my uncle turned to me and said you have the same hair type as me you will loose it all in the next few years. Panic! He lost his hair in his early twenties all from the top of his head with a little on the sides and back left.
Basically I worried for a little while and then forgot about it. What has prompted me to be a regular lurker on this site for a while now is that around 8 months ago someone said I was loosing my hair at work and could see my scalp. This site has been great in keeping me calm and making me realising I could do something.
After researching I got on Nizorelle - couldnt find Nizoral at the time (can now). Not a massive difference between the 2 so I understand (correct me if I am wrong). My hair is getting progressively thinner on the top especially around the crown.
Thinking I need to get on finasteride straight away but I have been too worried too start (stupid I know). Dont know whether to see a GP first or just to order it off the net (but I have no credit card). I am in the UK and now 24 - My hair will all be gone in the next 2-5 years if it follows my uncle's pattern - which it looks like it will.
Anyways I know questions and answers are for other places on the site but thought I would share everything that was going through my head. Look forward to sharing experiences and getting anwers with you all.
