Thanks for the immediate response guys, I have to say it's good to have found such a great network.
I am a pretty fit guy already, a marathon runner in fact and am now dedicated to taking the meds. I have had buzz cuts in the past but seem to have a odd shaped head, if you've ever seen coneheads you'll get an idea of what it's like :-)
I will sift through all the research and recommendations on here. I am not about to rush into it after reading a lot of the horror stories. Thanks again guys, really nice of you to take the time. I hope one day I am in the position to advise people trying to find their way in this situation, J.
