Hey all,
First of all English is not my mother tongue
I just wanted to share my story with you guys as a way to thank u all for standing with me and supporting me in my journey of fighting hair loss,and for helping guys that need and are searching for hope ,I especially want to thank guys that replied to my forums when I needed help.
It passed nearly 1 year and 5 months using propecia,and here is my pics
this pics I shot after taking my first pill so at my start immediately(before propecia) at August 31st, 2012 (the first 4 pics)
the second two (after 4 month)
the last two now

my comments about the results:
the results after 4 months are much better than now(also it is not appearing on the pics)
but I can,t say this is because the effects of the drug has decreased but my life has changed a lot and my life is more stressed now more than I started the drug ,I had a new job with a lot of stress and all of that happened nearly 6 to 7 month after taking the pills.
1)at the first 5 to six month I used to do a lot of aerobic exercises(I used to ascend nearly 350 stairs every day!!!!)which I think it helped a lot with my overall health improvement and my hair regrowth
2)a lot of healthy and variable food(until now also but now I can,t manage it as the first 5 to 6 months),and cut out sugars( I believe in the relation between insulin resistance and hair loss)
3)trying not to masturbate as much as possible and I decreased my masturbation frequency to a big degree(I know most of u don,t believe in this,but at least I believe even if it doesn,t have any effect if it just affect me psychologically in a good way this will be good for my hair,I believe that masturbation will cause changes in male hormones levels and hormonal changes will be perceived as stress so it will cause hair loss especially in people sensitive for hair loss,like in some women hormonal changes of pregnancy will cause hair loss and this is scientifically proved)
many people notice the change especially my family and relatives asking what I did to my hair

a lot of times I washed my hair with ketoconazole shampoo not regularly,sometimes twice a week,sometimes once and sometimes I don,t at all,I don,t use other shampoos,if I don,t use ketoconazole I just wash my hair with water.and I believe ketoconazole didn,t help my hair at all,on the contrary it contributed to my hair loss

I used to make olive oil and garlic mask for my hair not regularly but u can say 3 to 4 times a month,that really decrease the itching completely and make it disappear which I believe it helped in some way (now no, just once a month,I can,t now because my life is very busy),the itching also has disappeared after Propecia

side effects:weaker erections and watery ejaculation,that is decreasing slowly with time but didn,t go completely
in the first 3 to 4 months my scalp begin to show scales as CRAZY!!! big amount and big in size,WITHOUT itching,that has gone away
I feel more tired and weaker(don,t know if because of propecia,or because of my harder and more stressful work now and because I eat lesser now also)

It's great that you kept a photographic record, and you've definitely responded very well to treatment so congrats! The pictures are quite low resolution but it's still obvious that you've had success.

The content of your post though, is filled with old wives tales, myths and rumours. I doubt that you actually have had any side effects, if anything I'd say it's psychosomatic. Still congrats! Keep on the finasteride and minoxidil and hopefully you'll keep a really nice head of hair for a long time to come!

hey all,
first,thank you for your replies,
second, plz guys calm down about my opinions on hair loss!!!IT IS JUST MY OPINIONS,and they don,t need to be true, u r missing the big picture here which is my story about hair loss and NOT my opinions.
Ryukil,it is not about new stressful job,it is about stress in general,and I noticed this in myself and I am sure of it when I am exposed to a lot of stresses for a long period of time,my hair loss increases,and of course there is a relation between hair loss and stress

GoldenMane thank you for your nice words,:) I just use finestaride(I don,t use and I didn,t use minoxidil) maybe I will add it in the future.

really...masturbation has nothing to do with it

Do you have a study that proves this?
If you don't you can't be sure that excessive sex/masturbation doesn't impact male pattern baldness at all, of course, if you are genetically predisposed to it.

Many have been done. Generally, it's nonsense; no long-term correlation between orgasm, abstinence and testosterone levels.

Though, abstaining from masturbation for 7-10 days has shown to provide a small boost in testosterone levels:

But the test levels then drop and would not a cause a dramatic increase in DHT levels to cause increased thinning.

Its a proven fact that testosterone levels almost double over the course of a week without orgasming. So if you want to follow science, if you wanna keep your testosterone low you should jack it every other day.

Hey mate,

How's the hair retention progress going this year?
Any more side effects or reduction in the side effects you mentioned?

Cheers
