Going Bald In Less Than A Year, Need Advice

[michel sapin]

not using TRT to get your physic at 40?

 

[bluecyclone]

I am not using TRT. I am keeping my fertility and I’m worried that TRT would make my hair even worse.

I use heavy weights and run that’s my approach. Any recommendations on recovering some density? I dropped oral minoxidil in May and I think it was doing more than I thought it was…

I vent here but my stress has been high AF and I just ruined a relationship because of the depression. I know it has been unreasonable but I just want to slow down the loss of density and move on with my life. The chronic shedding ruins everything.

Right now only using Strut topical Finasteride and probiotics. My levels are all good and my serum DHT is low. T is more normal now 850 but my hair is worse than when my T was at 1100. I have no idea still looking for just a sustainable option that slows things down.

Stop everything, go see a psychiatrist and wait one year before seeing a derm

You guys are saints and very patient.

 

[michel sapin]

honestly that is weird that oral min 5 mg didn't help you?
You have perfect hairline and amazing hair bro, maybe slight slight slight diffusing so the oral min ( from what i saw and heard) should have help you

 

[michel sapin]

listen bro, you seem a to be a good guy. You have amazing hair for your age , better than 99.9% of male even in their 20's. We all have our own BDD ( me i hate getting body hair from topical/ oral min , and i have hair loss too, way more than you dude and am only 28.) . I would kill to have your hair bro. Just relax and take duta 0.5 mg and oral min 5 mg ( Moreover if i remind you are lucky to not get side with oral min? ) that is the maximum treatment for a male ( don't take crazy drug)

 

[Chill dude]

Thanks all. I understand I have been lucky for my age. The aggressive onset and constant shed have significantly reduced my hair density in the 8 months since I noticed even normal thinning. If that rate seemed normal or less aggressive I'd be far less concerned. I have had hair could over 300 everybshower since begging Rogaine and fear I've done significant damage.

I'm still fortunate to have good density but the thinning is becoming noticeable. If Rogaine can help then I'll keep trying. I'm trying to get answers on the shed cycle. Is it true that no matter what the hair will only have 6 months of growth and be locked into a constant shed?

Attached is current dry hair. The part is wider and bald spot forming at crown. 8 months ago it was so dense I could barely get a comb through it.

Thanks for you support. I know we are dealing with different degrees of the same situation.

Is LLT worth trying?

8 weeks in the hair is thinner and the shedding is consistent at over 200 per day. I'm afraid of finasteride. Any advice? What's best case for diffuse thinning like this on finasteride and Rogaine? It's been less than 8 months.

Yep can see the diffuse in that second pic. You are 39 mate you’ve had a good run. They’re guys on here with 3 times your hair loss that are twice as young.

If your this worried get a hair transplant! It’s really that simple. You have normal loss in density for your age, but you are not balding. Just get a transplant touch up, your literally the perfect age for it

Can you transplant diffuse? My donor area has thinned a ton as well. I might restart oral minoxidil. I get sides on topical and oral Finasteride even at low dose (use .25% topical daily) and hardcore sides on topical Dutasteride.

does PTDBM or ZincThylium work at all?

You can transplant diffuse if a shitty unethical doctor is willing to do it. I'd not advise it with all of my heart. I hate that avatar.

This random baby with massive hair? Yes I see Konior and he said it would do more harm than good because of shock loss. He also advised me against micro needling. I’m still balancing sides and treatments. Oddly enough though my beard isn’t growing either. It thinned dramatically in the last 8 months. Shouldn’t my beard be getting thicker if androgens are the cause.

I would have to see a picture and age to hazard a guess but I don't want to upset you any more than you are. Hair loss is miffing.

on beard or the diffuse? I know a good portion of of my hairloss is medicine induced - thyroid, Wellbutrin, Trazodone, Antibiotics can all f*** hair and I’m on all of them.

I take Wellbutrin and Trazodone so don't jinx me. Millions take both of them as one is a daytime med and the other is a nighttime anti-depressant. I took antibiotics too.

Yeah I really believe the not needed thyroid medications started this cascade and I haven’t been able to recover. I’m on way too much sh*t but every time I trying ween of the consequences are awful. Like tried to stop Wellbutrin and deep depression, pushed away my girlfriend, ultimately lost her in the process and depression.

Same story here. And not just me, pretty much everyone echoes the sentiment of once having someone that they are no longer on par with and that can be devastating.

 

[bluecyclone]

do you still workout regularly?

Yes 5-6 days a week. Run and weights. Stopped squats and deadlifts. But I still work heavy chest.

I found out during my hair loss journey that working out was the only way to forget about the burden that losing hair is. Playing videogames may help too, although one would say both activities are coping. Anyway, we have to find what makes us feel better, therefore forgetting about this curse, even if momentarily. Keep up with the nice physique!
