so i'm a year and 2 months out. is this a common shed? i still have great coverage but it seems to be a diffuse thinning over the top.

do you recommend waiting it out or jumping into #2 HT???

any thoughts and words about dr. Scott in phx??

i don't quite remember my first HT? but how long does the swolling last again? and are there any techniques to cut it back to just a couple of days?

You are possibly experiencing a "Seasonal shed" ride it out for 3-4 months as reassess your situ before pulling the trigger on another HT.

I was like this. Scrutinizing everytime I got near a mirror until I got headaches from straining my eyes. Best thing to do is take all the mirrors out of the house until at least the 8 month mark .
