hi everyone
I'm 23 year old and I live in Switzerland, sorry for my english skills...
I started loosing hair in 2004/2005 I think. When I finished school in 2003, everything was alright... I had a lot of dark brown, thick hair and I was very happy about that. The fact is, that my mother have thick brown hair and her brothers have as well. Even my mother's father has still his thick hair at the age of 85. My uncle looks exactly like me (we could be twins), but he still has his hair
My father, his brothers and his father are all bald...
For a very long time I didn't realize that I have androgenic alopecia. In 2004 and 2005 it wasn't an easy time because I was in the army, which was quite exhausting. So I thought my hairloss is caused by stress.
My family always said: "You are so lucky you don't have your father's hair, so you don't get bald at the age of 23."
Well they were wrong.
In 2006 I met an old friend of mine, hadn't seen him since we left school. He said: Oh my god, where's your hair?" I realized that now it's time to do something.
I was scared about going to the docter and telling him about my hairloss. I read about Minoxidil and I've been on that stuff since November 2006.
My hairloss stopped, but no regrowth... I was happy that it stopped.
But in June 2007 the big shock: shedding shedding shedding! I'm going crazy!
I'm going to the doctor next friday, I want a prescription for Finasteride. I hope that brings my thick, brown hair back... I really do.
So that's my story, I will keep you updated.
