Hi!
This is my first post here, and as many here, I'm desperate. I'm a 49 year old male. My wife & I separated over a year ago, and I'm doing all I can to improve my appearance, as well as my confidence.
Of course losing my hair over the years hasn't helped. I have rather thick (though graying) hair on the sides of my head, but the top front has been going for a few years now, and it's starting to recede to the crown.
A few months ago, I started a serious workout regiment, and my confidence started to improve. I was over 270 lbs, and I'm currently floating around 245. I still have a long way to go (I'm 6'0 tall), but people have been noticing at work, and making kind comments - which just motivates me to continue!
Unfortuantely, I've injured a leg and am unable to run/walk on the treadmill - so my workouts have slowed my weight loss and I'm becoming more depressed.
To add to the problem, my hair seems to be falling out at a faster pace. I've been reading a lot of articles, but still don't know where to turn or who to trust.
Because of my age and stage of hair loss, I don't know whether to begin Rogaine (Minoxodil) or Propecia, or maybe even both? Are there any other products out there which my provide better results?
My self esteem is about shot!
Any advice?
Thanks!
