Should I be THIS nervous Starting Finn?
So here's the story. Early 30's and always had a good head of hair
Have very little facial hair or body hair in general. A few years back, got big into weight lifting and got on high doses of creatine. Not sure if there was a correlation but as I got much stronger/bigger, I felt like the hair took a hit. Broke a bone a few months back, got off weight lifting, have lost a bunch of muscle mass, am not eating as often as I was to bulk up.. Noticed shedding, read about DHT and creatine, got off creatine, saw a doctor who thought I was crazy for concerns over male pattern baldness.
Looked online and picked up Nizoral which i was using every other day (i'm cutting back to every third day now). Also am on saw palmetto, L-arginine, l-lysine, ashwagandha, biotin, omega-3. punkin seed oil, and panthothentic acid. Also using American Crew Trichology concentrate vials nightly. To say the least, I'm taking what I think are the right steps but the continued shedding has me nervous. Also, I feel as though the hairline area is thinning based on the look and feel. I've discussed it with a select few close friends/family and they all think I'm nuts.
Which brings me to the doctor. He gave me a prescription for finn which I had filled up.. but I've had it sitting in my bathroom counter for over a month untouched as I'm nervous of sides. Should I jump in and see what happens? Should I just avoid at all costs? Are the sides overhyped? Are there any other alternatives I could try prior to going with finn or should I just suck it up and give it a go?
Included two pics as I know you'll otherwise ask for them
