Hey There, It’s The End Of June, 2018, Do You Know Where Your New Hair Loss Treatments Are?

[itsjustsimon]

Oh, I have many health problems. I guess I did make it seem like hairloss was my only health issue, but it's not, it's just the main one I think about. My health is in really bad shape right now, and trying to balance all the different stuff I'm supposed to be doing to help is like juggling.

My dermatologist says I have seborrheic dermatitis, telogen effluvium, and I'm also recovering from a vitamin definency. I'm getting a biopsy this week to know exactly what we're up against. I'll tell you finally finding a good dermatologist has given me a bit of hope.

That sux man, but please, try everything and I mean everything, no stone unturned, that you can to turn your health around (and after that hairloss) before you start thinking about suicide.

No, why? Transplants can be done even with a diffuse pattern

He means he wants to get rid of all the hair that he's supposed to lose before he does the transplant so that he doesn't have to come back for another one.

If I were to get on finasteride, wouldn't that prolong the option of Tsuji? Theoretically, you would have to what till all your predestined hairs fall out in order to get such procedure accurately performed.

That's the way I see it. Let fall out what is going to fall out while you wait for Tsuji. Hell, if you're only a NW2 now, there will probably be 10 other companies doing what Tsuji is doing (maybe even better) by the time you are where I am (hair loss stabilized/end of the road). Take that NW2 get as many girls as you can or find a wife before you get to Stage 3.

I was told by the devil "Its coming! The money is coming!".

F*ck, I'm hang on by a thread now; I have nowhere to go. Hairloss has dissolved any ambition that I may have embodied. Let my soul transcend to an alternative low, dimming my very action. This isn't living, I hate this feeling. I see the world in shades of greyscale, as those around me walk across my invisible fight.
I feel like a misfiring piston right out the gate, everything around me feels foreign, my eyes seem to spectate my own selfworth; I look empty. Everytime I contemplate suicide, I feel alleviation in my train of thought, comfort in the idea of not burdening society. The devil has presented an allure to my own reflection, I'm now a byproduct of vanity.

He knew that is how to rule over this changing society.

Cut me up & let me rest, theres nothing in my chest; prep the tulip bed.

Dude, just remember you're not alone, I struggle with the same misfortune as yours, but suicide, come on, lol. Be strong, man, I know it sounds clichèe as f*** but it's simply true, being strong is in your f*****g interest because you need to be positive in this time of adversity, this is really the best move you can play right now in the game of life. Everything seems so hopeless and you might ask yourself how the hell is it possible in 2018 that we still don't have any cure yet but we should never forget that the light at the end of the tunnel has never been as bright as now. As for hanginginthewire, I don't think people are trying to be mean or uncompassionate to him , maybe I don't have the right to say this because I'm still a NW2 (a diffuse thinning one at 18 though) but right now nobody is able to give him a cure, so what should we do now? Complain and whine everytime we log in here? Hangingthewire, you are the only person responsible for your mental well-being, not me, not That Guy, nobody on this forum, only you. You must try your best in this regard despite balding , as we all are trying to do. Everytime you complain and are negative you worsen your situation.

I wear hats so much dude, I'm an expressive guy that can't even style my hair according to how I feel. Everytime I'm in public it feels like the 1st day of school, but everday for me (3yrs now). I've just grown tired of worrying so much. I fear that if I'm NW2 feeling this way, what could happen if further loss occur. Only thing that honestly has me here is wondering how my family would take my absence. My mother has grown tired of hearing me complain, but she has no fcking idea how monstrous hairloss early is.

Have you tried concealers? Toppik or Caboki?

At a NW2 you could definitely take advantage of it.

Science popularization is what we do all the time here, no members are hair specialists here despite some saying the opposite, or bragging about their med school, nonsense i kinda agree, even long time researchers (cf. Cotsarelis) grope by experiments, helped by their knowledge, but not because of it.

Geez, Follica must have tried 30+ compounds all those years, it does not seem to me they know exactly what they are looking for.

A couple of things occur to me here, one is that 30 compounds is a lot of compounds compared to 1 compound, but it's essentially nothing compared to the galaxy of known/potential compounds. I mean to say the things they've tried must be far from a blind stab in the dark, their choice will surely have been informed by the ever-growing knowledge of follicle growth and maintenance. A lot of new ideas must have emerged over the 12(? 14?) years they've been trying that they may have incorporated too.
The other thing is that they're apparently starting phase 3 trials this year. As far as I'm aware that means thousands of people tested on, and quite a lot of expense and trouble to go to for something looking likely to be ineffective. So I think cautious optimism is a sane thing to file Follica away under at the moment.

I always love reading this part of the board, while you guys are all on here hoping and praying for the next magic cure (to reach phase III and then dissapear) because you are all too weak dicked or weak minded to take finasteride; I am taking finasteride daily and my hair is now regrowing quite nicely.

For any newbies reading this - if you want to keep your hair, you need to be on finasteride; or you can wait and pray on one of these cures, but it is going to be at least 10 years before one is released (and even then, it will only be as good as finasteride is now) - for every day you are not on an anti-androgen, it is a day of DHT damaging your follicles; and reversing this damage is very difficult. DHT will be killing your follicles right this moment.

and another thing that makes me laugh, people mocking Brotzu and saying "it was always a joke"... how come before the bad press release you were all saying it was going to be a cure? and when I said it was going to suck you disliked all my posts and called me foolish for not believing it was a cure?

 

[itsjustsimon]

It feels as though we're in the puss-filled belly of Satan awaiting him to digest something conducive to hair growth.

I wanna get on finasteride so badly, just can't bring myself to doing so. I'm a NW2 now, with the weirdest hair pattern ever.

The biggest regret I hear is ‘ I wish I started finasteride earlier’.

Why wait 10 years for a treatment when you can just get a lab to synth it for you now...

finasteride IS dangerous. Might be fine, might not be. Some dont want to take that gamble knowing that once you start you're taking it for the next 50 years or whatever.

what treatment are you talking about that i can get a lab to synthesize? RU? the Brotzu lotion? (i haven't seen anyone post any pictures where brotzu has regrown anything although granted it is still very early for that; i think it probably won't grow as much as minoxidil does, but hopefully it will at least inhibit DHT so that people who might not have strong penises can finally stop their follicles degrading)

I have curly hair dude, also live in AZ; way too hot. My problems are all in the temporal regions. Thanks for the recommendation though, I wish we could solve this BS with no adverse effects.

What is your point about having curly hair? Is your hair long or short? I lived in a very humid/hot state for years with applying toppik and caboki, sweating won't cause it to run so you don't have to worry about that.

Typically though, I wear a hat during the day, and if I'm going out, I put on the concealer. I go from diffuse thinning NW3V to a NW1 and have my fiance check, you literally can't tell even under lighting. I f*****g love it and it gives me so much confidence.
