Hi everybody

Next week its my birthday. (I'll be 23 years). But it will be a sad one cos I can't help myself to be free from this hair loss issue. I already posted some topics in this forum but today especially I really want to express myself even if with complete strangers. Most of my friends have plenty of hair and will never understand what I am going through..

To my story....
I ve been on finasteride for the last 5 months... I did suffer from unusual fatigue but nothing to be alarmed... no side effects down there though :) I thought I was doing very good but this weekend was horrible. Massive shed... for the first time in my life I saw a bald spot under the light on my head. To be clear I still have hair but it's so thin that under light it looks awful.. My temples have receeded further. I was looking at some photos of my brother's wedding last week and it was a shock.. even if it was just 3 years ago I look at myself today and don't recognise myself.. When I look at myself from the sides (you know when you use two mirrors) I see how far a few centimeters of receeding temples can change completely your look. And I don't like it. I even am thinking for a hair transplant on my temples.. something I would have never dreamt about.

I started to use Nano fibre (which is like toppik) and I have to say it is an amazing product. However it has a key disadvantage... you get used to it.... to a point that when you take shower and wash your hair you go back to the crude reality.. and it can be veeeeery depressing.

A month ago I met my ex after I didn't see here for some time.. was so fond of this girl but unfortunately we had contrasting characters.. we talked for a little bid and then all of a sudden she tells me that I have changed physically especially with my hair.. It was like 10 knives pierced my stomach at once. To be completely honest (probably its the same with some of you guys) I hated the fact that she hasn't changed one bit while I still want to be that guy who she had known but can't due to this fuckin hairloss problem..

But after evaluating the whole situation I think that there are other worse things.. I recently started again going to the gym and cycling and haven't felt this fit for some time now.

Anyway just wanted to share some thoughts. It's just very difficult to express these with your friends/family especially when most of the people you know don't even consider this as problem.

Thanks for reading..

Pls read thru my recent post , i am experiencing the same thing, hairline keep receeding while on finasteride. No healthier hair seen after shed ! and bald area start to develop in the temple where shedding occur ! It's like the 1st shed ---> minituarized hair grow on shed area, then second shed ----> the area become bald

I am wondering if finasteride is making things worse for me , but everyone said that u have to stay oin it for a year to work ! but how can it work if it is making ur hair gone from healthy to minituaried then to bald when it is suppose to do the reverse !!!

I really hope HM or Follica come out with a permenant solution before my hairloss become really visible !
