I was young, innocent and beautiful. Now, I'm just bald

[GodisnotBald]

Guys,


Good to see such an organised community, I do think it's VITAL if we want to find a real solution to fight efficiently baldness one day


Anyway: to cut a long story short, I'm 24, Norwood III difficult to notice it since my hair are mid-long, started Nizoral 5% 1.5 years ago, Nizoral 2 times a week 6 months ago ; recently , I started to eat damn healthy. I've noticed some hints of improvments, but as you know; only Norwood 0-1 matters

What's really interesting is the fact that, dudes, I'm the ONLY ONE knowing I'm really really suffering from hairloss since I've still got enaugh hair -thanks god - to totally mask it.

Windy weather , heavy rains: daily ennemies ; at parties, with friends hanging out , I'm still myself: it's not obvious I'm loosing my hair. Guys, I'm waking up every morning sooner than my girlfriend to check up my hair in the bathroom and do whatever it's possible to get my hair done and avoid looking like a 75-years grandpa


However, one day, I'm not stupid, I know I'll have to face the reality. It won't be possible to indefinitively mask my Norwood III


Guys, I do hope something, strong medications - treatments - whatever , will allow me to recover totally from this hairloss


This is why I've just entered that community


Btw, I'm thinking about buying Fina so as to complete my treatment (--> Big3 )

It's always good to see proactive members sharing their experience. Well, bitter sweet may be a more accurate description.

Unless you are the extremely rare lucky few, this doesn't exist. Big 3 is pretty much all we have.

 

[DeanHarryThomas]

You can have some amazing results with the big 3. I have almost completely recovered from my hairloss. Of course I don't know what your situation is but it can happen.

 

[SayifDoit]

I won't mind some pictures, I imagine it's not thattt terrible given what you've said.
But I would really like to see.

 

[zzzzz]

you sound like an idiot OP

 

[GodisnotBald]

you sound like an idiot OP

What do you mean?


Anyway,


I could post pictures but that would hurt my feelings ; that would officialize the thing

Actually, it looks like : (length)

That's not me but it's pretty much the same



Damn Alopecia!


Really thinking about taking Finasteride but side effects freak me out..

 

[GodisnotBald]

Ok guys,

I've decided to do it properly :


Here is a picture of myself , we can see the gangrene (a baddass gangrene)



I've been taking minoxidil for 1.5 year ; Nizoral 2 times a week ; 5 months (good results, really)

I've thinking about taking Fina as I said


What do you think about it?

Dudes, really need your help here


Dont wanna see that **** evolving too much


Thanks

 

[error]

you're a nw2 heading to a nw3 based on the pic, but jesus christ man in doesn't look that bad

 

[isishearmyplea]

yeah dude really. . .its really not that bad . .to the common eyes you are not bald. .. try finasteride maybe?

 

[minoxiDjunkie]

so you ask for an advise wether to start on finasteride or not basically ???

 

[GodisnotBald]

That's exactly it;

If you were me, would you take Fina? I'm definitively thinking about it so as to do everything it's currently possible to do, to save my hair

I've read some BIG3 "sucess stories" ; it brings me hope

 

[GodisnotBald]

Guys,

Believe me , the precedent picture I uploaded has been taken in "advantageous" conditions; this is why my baldness seems ok

Check this out :


Invisible after having done my hair, for how many months/years ? I do not know


I've decided to take Finasteride,

I'll upload pictures once a month.


Finger crossed.

 

[I.D WALKER]

Best wishes in your resolve to take action. Be patient. If you are a good responder it can take anywhere from 6-18 months to experience benefits.

 

[isishearmyplea]

well its simple bro. . if you dont take finasteride you ll definitely lose more hair. Use finasteride and maybe save hair or even regrow some. You still have decent hair IMO. if you decide not take it, just let me tell you in advance dont be the guy who jumps on finasteride after gaining a norwood level. And of course do a good research before taking finasteride if you decide to do so.

 

[GodisnotBald]

Thanks guys,

My decision has been taken, I'll take finasteride. As a matter of facts, I'm going to change some habits (ex: stopping drinking huge quantities of milk, more sleeping and STOP STRESSING) to optimize results and carry on taking minoxidil 5% + Nizo (started some months ago, with improvments)

That's official, today, I'm gonna start the Big3 *listening to Epic Music: Skyworld, 2 Steps From Hell*

 

[albionlad]

Keep us updated on your progress bro, we seem to have started treatment at the same time

 

[GodisnotBald]

Definitively at the same time: we're kind of finasteride-partners; are you going to take 0.5 mg for some months? I'm thinking about it (during 2 months 0.615 and then, 1.25) , heard it can minimize the shedding..

 

[minoxiDjunkie]

by the things you say, yea i would definatly go on a DHT blocker..
i would (and will) go for dutasteride.

 

[albionlad]

Just like the musical "blood brothers", we are finasteride-brothers!

I'm going straight with 1mg daily as my prescriber advised
