Hey guys/gals,
Found this site a couple weeks ago, and I must say it has been a godsend. I appreciate all the information I have found on this site to help in my battle for hair loss.
My story of hair loss started when I was approaching 25 and began grad school in Physical Therapy. I'm not sure if stress of school played a part, but I suddenly started losing my hair. I never thought much of it, and honestly didn't really have time to care, but gradually classmates and family would start to make comments about my losing hair. I never researched any hair growth products, and just assumed that losing my hair was a losing battle, inevitable, and there wasn't a thing I could do to stop it. My dad doesn't have much hair, but he never started losing it till he was late into his 30's.
I was on Rogaine liquid a couple years ago for a month (didn't know anything about how long to expect results, so basically just quit). But over the past year, I've been getting constant comments from friends/family about how bad I'm balding, and I'm finally getting sick of all the comments and am now trying to hope that it doesn't get any worse. I pretty much have nothing left on my crown but some strands of hair, and am getting that dreaded horseshoe pattern. I fear I may be too late, but after seeing some success stories on here of some people with hair a bit worse than mine, maybe I should have some optimism.
I originally placed an order for Provillus after reading what I THOUGHT were legit blogs and sites, such as TrustMichael, ranking it as the #1 Hair loss product. Well 2 days later I ran across this site and realized it was a scam, so am now in the process of getting back some of my money via a refund on the Provillus. From the advice of this site, I am going to be starting on the Big 3:
Currently, I am taking Rogaine Foam (started 1-4-08), and am now going to start to religiously take 1% Nizoral 2x/week (originally took it here and there for dermatitis, but now learned on here of it being a combatant for hair loss). I placed an order for Proscar from United Pharmacies, and should be receiving that any day. At that time, the Big 3 will officially be complete.
Below are some pics I took right before Rogaine Foam on 1-14-08 As you can see, I don't have much left. Not sure of a Norwood, but it seems I'm fast approaching a Norwood 5. What do you think?
I'm currently shaving my head down to clipper #2, but now that my dermatitis is getting under control, I may go to a 1 soon.
I'll be posting updated pics every so often. Hopefully I can be a success story, but it's not looking good.
