Okay I'm a bit nervous, this is really the first time I'm talking about this with anyone other than my girlfriend.
I'm going to be 32 next week and I have been noticing my hair thinning for years. I have always just had thin hair and pretty much just sucked it up. Recently during a bad haircut my barber pushed my hair forward and showed me the halo of where my hair is thinning and it really brought me to reality of just how my hair is thinning.
It also really sent me into a terrible terrible depression....
I'm doing my best to get it together and see just what I can do now to fight this or if its even possible.
I have read so many reviews on just about every supplement and prescription you can think of. Its an obsession and I need to get my life back on track and learn to accept this as it is now.
I was on nioxin system 1 for some years and liked it, but after what my barber showed me I switched to system 2 and all that did was make my head feel like it was on fire and itchy. Needless to say I stopped both right away. I also tried saw palmetto, that was terrible and I had never felt so bad so I stopped that as well.
Right now I'm using Nizarol 1% and started using Samys Fat Head hair products as I like that it contains no SLS is natural and makes my hair feel great and calmed. Other than that just plain ol exercise and good multi vitamins
I don't usually feel any irritation on my scalp and never and itching. So I think its in a good state to start a regimen.
I went and saw both my doctor and a dermatologist. I was okayed to try Propecia and was given the script but in all honesty after seeing the negative reviews I don't know if I want to try it.
Is Propecia worth trying and are many of the reviews just hate mongering ?
I'm so lost and and I'm in a terrible depression and don't have anyone else who is suffering from this that I can talk to.
Any help or words of advise would be appreciated.
