Hi All-
I am sharing my story, because I want to help others suffering from hair loss. I have been lurking on this forum for the past six years or so.
I started losing my hair at age 23, back in 2006. I rapidly started losing alot. I immediately got on propecia. Within 7 months I had recovered some hair and saved what I had. The Propecia worked. I did not have any side effects.
The Propecia worked well until 2011. At that point the hairs started to lose thinkness and color and became limp again. I started Rogaine foam in December 2011. By June 2012, the Rogaine had reseted my hair scalp with alot more hairs, a bunch of thin hairs. The Rogaine definitely did something. I had more hair although thinner. But it only lasted a few months. The hair growth stopped and I lost a little more.
By September 2014, my hair was falling out again. This time, I doubled the Propecia to 2.5mg a day and started using Rogaine foam very liberally. One bottle a week.
I still have hair, but its been a battle. My advise is to use Propeica, Rogaine and Nizoral. It works. My older and younger brother who didn't use medicines are just about bold. Pictures attached. I am thinking about using laser therapy. And maybe PRP. I know many of you have doubts about LLLT, but there have been many recent studies to support its use. If any one has any other suggestions, I would greatly appreciate it. Got to hang onto this hair, until there is a cure!
