    Remember Ted Dansen (Sam Malone) from the "Cheers" sitcom? He wore a crown piece and eventually revealed it publicly on one of the last episodes. Shocked everybody.

    Where on the scalp is it located? Also some areas lag behind (i.e. one side of the temple grows in and the other side may lag several months behind).

    In '02, when I was losing some due to propecia losing its effectiveness, I started taking avodart the week it came out. Around 6 wks later, I noticed my hair growing back to were it was prior to propecia losing its effectiveness. I did have seasonal shedding later down the road (1 year later), but it grew back and after the first few years of seasonal shedding, I don't have it now (maybe last 3 years, knock on wood). As to other sides, I didn't notice any when I made the switch.

    You have a great full head of hair now! Like Stalin!
  5. Leeson
    You had a pop! Bet that's a relief off your head (so to speak) as to when you'll have growth. Smooth sailing from here on out.

    I have to agree w/ GQ. I know he must have plently of results. The couple I saw looked fine, but if he's done so many to merit coalition status, he must have more before and afters than this.

    HW seem to approve of my decision to use avodart over propecia. Recommended for me to continue avodart.
  8. Leeson
    It seems all doctors have a difference of opinion. HW seem to prefer avodart (IMO). What I understood, from previous research, was dutasteride (aka avodart) never proceeded to phase 3 for hair loss, due to Glaxo smith kline not seeing enough of a monetary reward in going forward. The drug does not work for everybody and I'm sure there have been negative results. I guess it can be like the marines, either your best friend or your worst freakin' nightmare. Peace out!

    So by your rationale, every soldier should be bald.
  10. Leeson
    First, it wasn't God, you can thank one of your parents/ancestors some where up the line looking for a mate and saying, "Hey, that bald dude looks like a good match," and voila! To answer your question, someone here asked that same question and the most plausible theory was something of a signal to send to women that we're primed to breed (i.e. androgens raging). Easier for women to zero in on that bulls-eye of a crown than baldness above the ears. I guess that means those poor full-head of hair guys rarely had any action. But then again, that could be wrong.

    Studies suggest dutasteride is more effective vs. finasteride.
  12. Leeson
    Go to your doc and obtain a proscar script, then have it filled with the generic version. 1/4 tab = 1.25 mg.
  13. Leeson
    There's a poster called Gringoloco posting on HLH stating the terrible job L. Shapiro did on him. I think the word "plugs" was mentioned. He also puts down Bauman in S. Florida for his repair work. From the thread, seems Bauman's not the skilled surgeon either.
  14. Leeson
    Thanks big guy!
  15. Leeson
    Generic finasteride (generic version of proscar). Obtain script from doc. Divide (1) 5mg tab into (4) 1.25mg doses. Take the 1.25mg daily. If no results (growth or maintenance) for 1 year, then discontinue.
  16. Leeson
    Don't know what to say...congratulations, and remember, no means no!
  17. Leeson
    No kids, I figure one of me is enough to subject the world to.
  18. Leeson
    Centurian, I have taken these drugs for over 10 years and...uhh...what was I saying? and I'm fine!
  19. Leeson
    You can tell it's bogus by him stating "no scar." HW would not tell the patient you'll have no scar. With me, they were totally honest in what to expect with the trycho closure.
  20. Leeson
    MSM and biotin. I think someone here swears by folic acid.
  21. Leeson
    Definetly!
  22. Leeson
    Perfect! and thanks for all your words of encouragement and support to all of us. Your definetly a class act!
  23. Leeson
    Wasn't just the doc, he had a great patient.
  24. Leeson
    Definetly is improving.

    She's been deceptive in her references, twice claiming to be recommended her (after being removed) and has been asked to not post on her site that she's being recommended by this site. Second, just type in "charlieb" under the find feature. If, after that, you still want to go to her, vaya con Dios! It's good that your not jumping the gun before you check out all your docs and options (i.e. proscar/avodart, minox, buzzing your head).
