i'm giving up, its the end of the road for me..

[almostbald]

yes hello again my fellow fallen comrades.

today i have decided to drop everything, and just accept baldness.

ive tried quite allot to reverse the situation, but its clear to me as i was envisaging my hair state a few years back in comparison to what it is now, that, ive definately lost to much, and its likely as hell to keep going that way.

also ive been thinking about a trantsplant, but i think i dont have much donor hair to do a strip procedure. maybe FUE'S are the way to go for me. im still looking into that avenue.

im going to try and combat this depression by not roaming around these sites too much, just check back once in a while for up and coming developments,

ill be curious to keep up to date with Dr Gho's procedure, and see if he makes his techniques common knowledge.

in the meantime, ill try and become the most intelligent man in the world , lol, and try and change the world situation, i have big dreams and maybe u guys will hear of major financial backing going towards hair multiplication etc.

im going to shave my head sometime juring this week, and keep it that way for 10 years or so, ill be 35 by then.

so i might be able to enjoy some of my life still, like recouperate on every thing that ive missed upon, all the girls, motivation, and finally a smile, a genuine smile.

ive noticed for 5 years i havent woken up in the morning not even once, and trully have felt good about myself and the way i looked. pre 20, it was all compliments about my personality and also on quite how handsome i was. nowadays its only my mom that still thinks im goodlooking, and everyone else jus says how much of a caring guy i am etc..

well i dont wanna go on, so im gonna say ''f*** it'' to my situation and live life the way it was originally intended for me.

f***, finasteride.
f***, Nisim.
and f***, minoxidil, which only gave me an emtremely bad scalp and massive sheds.

the only thing im holding out now for, is to look in to FUEs in a few years when the prices come down a bit, and the technique/s is refined more. i think thats sensible.

ive even read somewhere that finasteride, if used long enough can cause you to have problems concieving etc.

anyway, that last line was just like amunition for me to give up,

damn i was even considering Procerin..

anyway.; catch you guys soon and good luck with your regimens, coz u guys deserve it.

:cry: (now where was it that i put them mach 3 razor blades??hmm)...

over and out


good luck

almostbald,

Where did you hear about the long-term effects of finasteride on child conception? Do you have a source/link/etc.?

D.

 

[Guest]

Rum don'w worry about what he said concerning the long term effects of Finasteride, it is just one of the many rumors that float around on this site that have no merit. People have been on the drug for 10+ years now and if the FDA has not jumped started an investigation by now than it is unlikely they ever will.

To the poster you have the right attitude about the whole thing, just because you lost your hair does not mean you should stop living life. This is just a suggestion if you can get away take a vaction and shave your head and get a nice tan before you go into work one day bald. This will give you a few days to get used to your new look and give you a chance to get rid of any hair tan lines. Labor Day is this week so now would be a good time with the 3 day weekend and all.

how about this..........

Hello.......You may laugh at this but have u ever considered a hair piece?......I know what your thinking......However, they are very different now a days than before.......They way they make them and style them on people you would never know theyre wearing one.....You can shower with them, swim with them, whatever......You can leave them on for weeks at a time only to take them off when you go to the toupee place to get your haircut....My fathers friend (who went bald at about 24) got a hairpiece.....Hes been wearing one ever since......He went into the business bc of his own hairloss.......He now owns a place where they fit hair pieces on people, do hair transplants, ect and has made millions.....Anyways they take you into a little tiny private room and give you a haircut and fit the hairpiece on so that you cant tell its a hairpiece....You leave, come back in a few weeks and do it again.......Its pretty easy.....Thats all there is to it and other than those ten minutes where theyre putting it on and off, you have hair......And you have the option of having the hair stay on all the time or come off when you want to shower ans stuff......If you want to take it off when you shower and stuff they give you a strip of adhesives........Otherwise they can fit it with an adhesive that never allows for it to come off until you go back for your next appointment where they take it off.....He told me alot of young guys go in there for hair pieces and usually they prefer the more permanent kind bc they want it to feel more like their own hair.....You can basically have any kind of hair you want......You can get a damn afro for all they care......But you can also get a full head of hair, a slightly receeded look, whatever!! It costs a decent amount though.....A couple grand a year......But you may be able to negotiate....I honestly think its better to do that than to spend alot of money on roagaine and propecia and ect and hold on to just some hair......With a piece, or hair system as they call it, you can have all the hair you want......It can be as strong as you want so that you can style it in any way that you want.......What do u think?

 

[bombscience]

Hey man, that's a ballsy call, but good for you by accepting things. I think that's the hardest part. I would say a 1/3 of the days I'm in denial, 1/3 i'm in depression, and 1/3 i'm hopeful.

In closing, becuase I know I have thought about giving up many times, how long have you been trying these treatments for?

Good luck.

 

[Lizzad]

Goo luck mate, obviously you have a severe case of male pattern baldness, which is very difficult to treat. I'm lucky, mine is a milder case.

6 months ago i was close to going for a number 1 shave all over, luckily minoxidil/fina/nizoral is working for me.

 

[Guest]

AlmostBlad,

I wish you luck man. Some people get screwed harder than others with the baldness gene. Its not the end of the world though. Just wear a hat that looks good on you and set a another goal and just concentrate on that. Take your mind off this hairloss bullshit. Good luck in the future.

 

[almostbald]

to bomscience; ive been using those meds for about a year now to no avail. my libido has seriously gone down, and im not as hard as before ,lol.

to marc e; man if you know some good hair piece sites, let me know. ill seriously consider it. i cant seem to accept being bald man, lifes just so much harder!!

to young17; thanks for the pic of machoney dude; i gues that was a motivatinal attempt at my inevitable fate.

what do you think i should do guys;

should i get FUE? or hold out for this hair multiplication technology?

im not very well off, and this kinda thing i could just about fork out if it cost me around 10k max. but im scared if i get FUE, the hair would just minaturize again, or leave me disfigured in some way. the risks are quite high i reckon.

are any of you guys gonna give up sometime; unfortunately for me im already at that stage.

i havent got a girlfriend or anything, and im not getting many girls dropping thier C.Vs my way either.

maybe the best way to see it is, just to think of it like this way... hairloss in some men only points towards a different species of homosapienoids. hairy and the non haired variate.

thats to say that hairy people and hairloss people are exactly the same thing as black people and white people and so on; just a diffrent variation, of humans. (hope i made sense).

anyway

this is me shaving out; i mean over and out

peace ... john.

 

[Guest]

I think almostbald is gonna be just fine. Being bald is no where near as bad as balding. Good luck bro, you got your whole life ahead of ya!

 

[Guest]

I don't know how much your baldness is bothering you but if I was at the stage you are at now I would hold off for maybe 1 year or even 2 years to wait and see if Gho is just bsing us all or not. Since he is oversea's it will be available there well before it will be in the States. Really it does not matter if you wait or not because if HM does come out soon all you would have to do is get the thin areas filled in that the transplant could not cover. It all comes down to how much it is bothering you. Personally I am banking on HM because I don't want strategically placed donor hair that looks transparent on close inspection.

 

[Guest]

almost bald lol im sry man. I didnt mean that for you its just my signature. Some guys look good with shaved heads some dont. Look at Vin Diesel he has a shaved head and women love him. Im sure you look ok. Good luck in the future.

 

[almostbald]

to run a muck; man im just prayin i dont have to live bald to long. i want this HM thing to come out real bad; you dont know how much its bothered, and how it is still bothering me mate; although ive got only about three hundred hairs left or so, with the typical horse shoe pattern; ive been living life in such a disguise. i walk around with such a fake smile man; and i always need more motivation to do things. i so anti socail now; and im always very conscious about not appearing in the daylight to much. damn i only go out at night. i also dont look in to mirrors, well i try not to, only my bathroom one thats it, lest my heart sinks if i look into any other.

i met a girl on the net recently and i sent a pic of myself and my uncle happened to be in the pic also. man to cut a long story short, i got mistaken for a 37 yr old guy(my uncle), and i was mistaken for being my ncle. this is the daily sh*t that i have to deal with man, its a right muck!!

to young 17; hey ther lil buddy, how old r ya. man i started to lose my hair real early man right when i hot 20, and its progressively been going worse ever since. at 24 things accelerated real bad. i tried minoxidil, which totally fucked my scalp, and propecia gave me a soft penis. its such a b**ch, u try and cure one problem and pop comes along another. if your 17 bro, dont whatever you do get on the hard internals. dont ask me to explain why, but you'll totally screw your development.

would love to hear from you guys again. oh yeah, by the way young 17; im doing your signature on my head like tommorow.

peace; John.

Since you asked, here's what I think you should do.

You are 24/25 right? At this age, you should be concentrating on developing your career. Working your *** off 75 hours a week in order to gain respect and experience, move up and eventually get the bigger money. Once you get the bigger money, then more hairloss treatments become accessible.

A funny thing will happen along the way. Since you will be so immersed in work and career development, and you are intelligent and resourceful, your self confidence as a person will return in a new and different way. This confidence will spark you to branch out in new directions or it may help redefine the way you look at traditional areas, like relationships. Either way, it's all positive.

So, in order to eventually get those HM treatments and be everything you see yourself to be, get to work man.
