Hey everybody! Been lurking around on this site for some weeks and finally decided to register.
First of all I would just say to people like flimflam and GrowHairGrow, your writing made me laught and relaxe a little! I acctually have a friend of a friend that looks like GrowHairGrow thats shaved, and he gets alot of chicks.
unk:
Im a 24 year old dude that have started to thin on top the last 3-4months. First noticed it when a friend cut my hair short and she said I was thinning on the right side up front. At first I really didnt care cause I thought it wasnt in my genes to be lose hair. But after some weeks I started stressing because everytime I put my hands in my hair I had some hair between my fingers, it really fucked up the end of my summer holliday cause my mood was real shity. Actually ended up buying Wella Hair Loss shampoo that week, but stopped because it started to burn in my skull and switched to Nisim. Then I went to the doctor where I study to asked what the hell was going on and presenting my story, and he just said I should wait some months to see if it grew back. I think I never have been so disapointed about a doctors appointment in my life, I was wanting answers and solution, but all I got was stuff I allready knew.
After some stressful weeks, of looking in the mirror and seeing my hairline loose its density and seeing my crown not being all that anymore, I just called a private dermatolog and got an appointment. He said he thought is was genetic hairloss, but we decided to take some tests to see if I had any insufficiencies , just to be on the safe side. Off course all was fine so I couldent scream “YEA ITS A QUICK FIX WITH SOME IRONâ€. He gave me a prescription on Propecia and said it was the best choice, but I could wait some months to see if it grew back. Buuuuuuuuuuut after 2 weeks I was stressed like hell cause my hairline was thinning so much on the left that I started 0.5mg Propecia daily.
Because I was stressing about my hair, my mom and her doctor friend was starting to worry about my mood, 1month after my first dermatolog visit, they got me an appointment with another dermatolog so I could "relaxe" and ask all the questions I had in my head. Really dont know what I got out of that appointment, but at least two people had looked at it. He said it looked like genetic, but he called it diffuse hairloss.After that day I ended up increasing my dosage to 1mg Propecia each day.
Thats about a week ago now, and I still feel stressed about my hairloss, and stressed about taking Propecia, but I kinda want to at least have hair to my 30s, so I prob just gotto stick with the rutine. Just hope I dont get any serious sides. I have feelt some dizzynes the last days, but i woke up with a morning wood so I guess I should be a happy camper.
The thing that really sucks is that I quited school when I was 18 because I was getting sick, and the last 3 years I have really got back upon my feets and the last years was really the first year in a long time I really enjoyed life and studying. And now this sh*t about my hair!!!
I have really been thinking about why this is happening to me. Its all about the genes the docs say. But in my family its only one man that was thinning in his early age, and thats off course my grandfather(Love the dude but crap). He was thinning in his early 20s with a Norwood IIa and ended up something between IIIa/IVa in his 70s. The rest of my mothers side was around a Norwood III in their late 60s, my uncle is 55 and only now he gets a little thin in the crown. My father still have alot of hair and his father died bald but in his 50-60 he was a Norwood V after what I have seen in the pics. So Im kinda confuesed, I still have hair on my head and in the shape I was born with, Norwood II. But the stuff I dont understand is why my hairloss is like thinning all over on top, and not just in the front or/and in the crown. Its not like its seetrough on top, but I lift my hair up or “split†it you could see that its thinning. Sometimes I just wanna scream about this sh*t.
One other thing I go around wondering about is stress. Both the mind-stress and the body-stress. I did take some heavy courses at school this spring and it was really bugging my mind sometimes(actually ended up really depressed for 2 weeks because of school and sh*t :crazy: ). But the thing I wonder most about is the body-stress impact on hairloss. 3-5months before my hairloss started(atleast when I was freaked out) I was lifting weights 3-6 times a weak. And I have read on this forum that heavy weight training boost your testosterone with 40%. Do any of you people think that this could be a “hair loss releaser�
Im now on 1mg Propecia, but Im not sure if I gonna stick with 1mg or go back to 0.5mg, time will tell. Are there anyone on 0.5mg with good results? Do anyone now if Propecia works on the hairline, I have lost alot of hairline hair in the last 2months that didnt look “sickâ€/skinny , so I really hope some come back. Or do I have to start with Rogaine? In my county we dont have the foam so it seems kinda messy, and I have read you should wait 6 months after starting Propecia, before starting Rogaine, just to see if the Propecia work in front. Any opinons?
And what about that nizoral everybody talking about? What does it actually do? My docs said it doesnt mater. I used Nisim for a month or two now, and the only thing I got got from it was itching, dandruff and dry hair. So I have switched back to my old shampoo. Also wonder if anyone uses conditioner? After the hairloss started I actually started to really skip out on hairstylling and hair conditioner. Before I would style my hair everyday and stuff. Almost miss that stuff.
So thats me..it was quite nice so blurp all this stuff out and it was fun the write english again, not just reading it in my massive school books..I tried to talk to some friends about it, but it just dont feel right and prob just get the “just shave your head if it gets worse dude†in my face.
I know Im not the worst case in here, and I really cross my fingerns for many of the dudes in here. Hair aint all, but it kinda sucks to loose it when your young. I still go around hoping that its just a phase or a bad dream, and I wake up with a afro. Another thing thats sucks is I read all about the researchs on hairloss. Have our hair loss started in 10 years we prob just could go to the doctor and get some miracle shampoo(atleast I hope) and then have fresh hair like Fabio the next year :jump:
Hope someones answers some of my questions, :jump:
