The pics are taken with my camera phone today, 03-14-06.....I am 27 yrs old and began to lose my hair 4 yrs ago. My dad, his brother, my mothers father, even my mom has thin hair. So I have aggressive mbp, and am extremely lucky I have made it this far at 27. I am perpetually depressed. I have seen my hair get worse and the worse of it is still to come. I am in good shape, and somewhat handsome (that is my ego talking- this has more to do with how the world will relate to me, men and women). With my hair loss, I can't imagine how the hell I will function in life. There is no hope, we must all accept our fate, only holding off the inevitable will gain us a few more years of peace.
My regimen:
I was a NW1 when my mom noticed vertex thinning 4 years ago. I got on minoxidil right away. I have sinced used it religously for 4 years (In the last 1.5 years I have only used it once per day, 1 mL on vertex and 1 mL on hairline & temples - to no avail of course)
I started Propecia 3 years ago when I noticed my overall scalp thinning. I use Propecia religiously to this day. It worked great until one year ago. Since then my temples receded significantly (see pics) and in the last 2 months I noticed my hairline cratering (if might be tough to see from the pics, but look cloesely and you can see the hairline is thinning). I can't stress enought how I obsess in the mirror, looking at my hairline. I can see how clearly the hair is being removed systematically. It kills me... As of this day the propecia has helped with scalp coverage greatly (so anyone with a full scalp coverage should get on this stuff right away if you know if you have mbp.
That's all the valid meds I have ever used. I am looking to add something else, but realistically there is nothing.
Maybe low level laser therapy to at least to maintain hair or make it look at least thicker? Nizoral 1% and tricomin I am beginning to use, but realistically that's just not going to stop the loss of hair. Dutaseride, but I think it might be hard to find a doctor willing to presrcibe it for hair loss treatment, as it's not FDA approved for hair loss (I live in the Chicago area). I welcome any comments, suggestions. Peace.
EDIT 03/15/06: I just ordered Revivogen, mainly to use on the hair line. I figure I need to do something. I read it helps to block both types of 5AR enzymes. Has anyone used Revivogen? I'd like to know your thoughts on this product, good or bad. Thanks.
