So, In early 2013 I started noticing hair loss, but in a diffuse pattern, all over top of head, and front, temples, basically everywhere but the sides of my head.
Started Propecia Late July 2013: Did not help with the Regrowth of Diffuse Hairloss, although did seem to stop Hairloss to a certain degree so I stayed with it until Febuarary 2014. I stopped because I noticed my hair falling out at a increased rate, and heard about reflex hyperandrogenicity.
Started minoxidil on Temples March 2014 to September 2015: initially for the first 8 months helped then all I noticed was increased shedding so I stopped with no taper.
September 2015 to December 2015: I was so scared to go bald, I was thinking of suicide, but wanted to give RU, topical finasteride, or Castor Oil a try, as all I was using at the time was folligen shampoo, mainly to just get rid of the inflammation feeling.
Late December 2014 to Now: I started with Castor Oil at night, using about a bottle a month(I know that's a lot) pouring it slowly from the bottle on my head, then massaging my scalp, and washing it off in the morning. The first month I didn't notice much besides my head feeling fresh and not inflamed in the morning. Late Janurary I noticed I stopped shedding and could see small vellus hairs all over. By March my hair looked thicker and noticeable in the mirror. April is when I really saw a big difference, my hair was growing consistently faster and filled in a lot. This month I am already almost pre 2013, but do have a few problems.
Found that castor oil is a 5ar inhibitor of both type 1 and 2, and EP3 activator for PGE2

For some reason my right temple is not filling in like the left one, I haven't seen much growth in it, does that mean that the follicles are dead? Should I try RU on that temple?
What should be my next step?
