Hello everyone, WhT can you tell me about your experience? How long did it take for the tightness and nbness in the do or area to subside? I know everyone is different and I've read the board, just give me your time frames to compare to. Thx

Thanks but I'm not sure I understand thebdilemna of touching the grafts after 2,weeks? They are all going to fall out anyway and no damage can occur after the 5th says my dr... I'm sleeping on them, showering str8 under the hot water what could a cap or bhandana do?

Hello, I'm a little more than 2,weeks post surgery, any downfall at this stage to going back to wearing normal fitting (not loose mr potato head type) caps? Just want to look some what nkrmal . Thx

Hello all, 11,days tomorrow and I'm getting my staples out. I'd like to know opinions on optimum sleeping conditions post transplant staple removal. I need to start sleeping again but I also want to make sure that I do the best thing for the grafts and making sure I do not jeopardize them in anyway. I know many drs have different post removal schedules, I'd like to hear yours as well as about brushing and using gels etc etc. I kept all my hair so it would hide the transplant and I usually blow dry daily and use mousse or gel. HVe not done anything since surgery but need to slowly get back to normal. Thanks for feedback

The back looks back to norm but the sides still look thin, im guessing that its because of the timeframe being only 65 days. seams similar to what you had at the start. Are you on meds? Gl and grow quickly

Hello, Any similar experience? I've been following protocall and staples Really feeling better daily. Day 4,and 5 went back to work and stayed up late, have not slept good last 2,nights. Never took meds other than 2 Tylenol before bed, sleeping on 2 pillows with traveler around the neck same as1st night. Feels like things are tighter and more sensjtive . the hair hurts back there but does not feel hot to touch. Going to take my first shower and wash my hair since surgery. Hope this is just healing. Can't wait to get these out on Saturday. Any similar thoughts or issues? Thx

Can you tell me the difference between proscar and propecia?

To go back to sleeping flat and on just 1,pillow, after surgery? Is it day 5 or 6 when we don't have to worry about loosing the grafts. I'm a side sleeper and did my temples so being extra careful. Also what about laying facing down with forehead in the memory pillow? Rogaine can start after the 5th day I assume after I wash my hair for the first time in the normal way duringba shower? The for input

Thanks for the info. What dose are you on? I know it varies but I'm taking 1.25,mg daily. I think I'll go for the 6 months and then see what happens

I'd like to hear any input on this drug. Reading many posts some say it must be taken. I've read that on many sights the negative effects can far out weigh the positives, I'm referring to the issue with decreased libido and erection issues. I tried myself 18 months ago and feel that this is what happened to me but it also could have been a very stressful time in life for me as well. I started reading and it scared me off the drug. I just did my transplant and my surgeon says very important I do it even for 6 months. Like to hear other stories...... Thanks guys

Hello all, Been doing Lot of reading trying to find the best medication regime for me now that I've completed surgery. I've never really used anything aside from a short stint in finisteride but I have negative feeling about the potential side effects on libido etc. Here is what I'm thinking And would input from the experts as well as what works for you. 1.25 mg finisteride every other day Minoxodil foil once daily before bed 5000mcg biotin to speed up growth Msm - 1500,mg daily although no proof that this works, using with glucosamine will oil up my joints so serve a dual purpose. Thanks for your input

have not taken any pain meds though, so im hoping thats a good sign

thanks for the positive feedback. Still dont feel RIGHT today. can anyone tell me what they think about putting ice pack of peas on both the donor area and the temples which appear to be a little swollen from all the local shots i got yesterday. thank you
