Just started Avodart

[Aplunk1]

Well,
I can reasonably say now that my regrowth along the hairline is falling out.
Everytime I apply my minoxidil, I get about 10-20 hairs along the hairline and temples, although now shedding on top.

I guess the good news is that all my regrowth is becoming terminal. Those barely pigmented hairs have become black, and, although they're falling out, they'll probably come back much thicker. Anyway, that's just my update.

wow man!!!,you have quite a regimen.
I see that you are using both Avodart and saw pallmeto ,is it really necessary?
I don't see any signs of baldness in your pictures.
By the way, I consider adding spironolactone 5% at the temples too.
For now, using crinagen.

Hair looks good to me. Only thing I see is the receding hairline. Wish I had that much hair on my crown. Looks like your regimen is working well for you.

 

[Aplunk1]

Thanks guys,
the receding hairline is coming down, but I still want to add topical spironolactone 5% to it, to further enhance it. My hair is a bit thin now, but not as bad as it was. It's still improving, too!

IDOASIS, how is the Crinagen working for you?

 

[IDOASIS]

Although I have been using it about one month I can say pretty well.
I should emphasize that I use Dutasteride almost 10 months, so I didn’t check how does it works alone.
Few months ago I have used Azelaic Acid 20% at the temples and had a regrowth ,so basically crinagen continues the job .
I consider adding spironolactone 5% to enhance the regrowth at the temples, what do you think, is it worth it??

 

[Aplunk1]

I really think it is. But I guess I'll find out.

 

[Aplunk1]

Well, I just wanted to update you guys.

It's been about 1 week of this, but I can reasonably say that I have now started to shed. Running my hands through my hair, about 10-20 hairs come out. Running my comb through my hair, another 10 hairs come out.

Most of the shedding appears to be coming from the hairline, and they are short, light-pigmented hairs. Some of them are very dark, too, just not as many.

As far as results go, I seem to have thickened up quite a bit, dropped from a Norwood 2 to about a NW1.

I hope this shed doesn't go on for too long. I have some topical spironolactone 5% and 2% being mailed to me this week. Thanks, Dr. Lee!

Well, I'm off to try to get some sleep again.

EDIT: New pics on my site, as well. In all, I've probably shed 80 hairs tonight... Does't look that bad right now... I'm so tempted to shave it off for a month or two and go bald... But that wouldn't go over well with friends, girls, or work... Dammit.

I'm too ashamed to be going to class this morning... I didn't sleep last night. I think I have some severe psychological issues starting to develop here, unfortunately. I will be calling my psychiatrist to attempt to get another appointment, although they always reject me. (It's a very poorly-run business, honestly)

I can't wait until my spironolactone arrives... Just a thought... I was thinking today that I need to take my mind off this shedding, off looking at my hair every day, several hours in the mirror. I realize that these treatments take time, and that I won't see myself recovering from these hairs lost in the shower for about 2 weeks (I'm taking 5g of MSM, so hopefully it will grow fast!).

In all, I'm starting to get run down... I wish I could put someone in control of my body... take my mind off everything for a couple months while the treatments kick in.

Does anybody want to control my brain for the next 6 months? I don't mind. Just let me know.

 

[Slartibartfast]

I might be interested. What are its technical specifications?

 

[Aplunk1]

I can give you the lamen's specificatoins:

20 year old, pretty good looking, goes to University Nevada Las Vegas, lots of hot chicks, nice teeth, nice skin, and pretty logical.

Anyone else wanna control me for like 6 months while I wait for my results?

 

[Slartibartfast]

Ah, a University student. Well in that case, I should warn you there's a good chance that I'll have you wear a blonde wig, make-up, a flowery dress and pink heels, then equip you with a hidden camcorder and sneak you into the women's changing rooms.

 

[Aplunk1]

If I must, then I must.

 

[Slartibartfast]

I just hope you'll be as understanding of the more drastic measures necessary to let you shower at length with the women. Now, where to hide that camera?

 

[Aplunk1]

lol... i just don't understand how that could possibly work... As long as I can rest for 6 months without thinking about my hair, I'll do anything.

 

[Slartibartfast]

It's all quite straightforward. Once you've recovered from the surgery, and the hormone drugs have done their job, I'll have you conceal the camera inside a dainty little shower bag.
