Thanks guys, I know it's early and I am trying to hope for the best, but have to admit I'm pretty stressed. The only med I have taken is Propecia, only for a few months a couple of years ago. I am concerned about the side effects; what is the general consensus on realistic risk and degree of side effects? What other meds are truly proven / recommended here? I will definitely keep you guys informed and really appreciate the support. I know it won't be the end of the world no matter what happens, just quite a shock for me going from looking forward to a year of improvement to questioning everything. I will try and keep a positive attitude, though it's difficult, and hopefully I can make the best decisions possible moving on.

Thank you Sparky, Topcat and hairthere. I will consult with some of the recommended clinics on the forum to try and better understand my situation and try to meet some patients to plan for the future as well. I am in Dubai for another week, biting my nails. What should I try and get from the clinic before I leave? What specific details should I ask them for to cover myself, or is it pointless? Is there anything helpful I can do? The eventual plan was another HT, I just hoped it would be a couple of years and I would have some results, not just regret, in the meantime. I'd be happy with 20-30% density improvement in the thinnest areas (which now look totally bald), but it sounds like I can't even count on that now.. I really hope things work out ok and the next year is not just utter disappointment..

I see the dense HR placement from your blog, but I thought too dense was dangerous when there is existing hair to damage? I hope this will be a stepping stone and not a massive mistake. I was hoping for a few months of waiting for improvement, not catastrophe. Oh man am I worried.

Hi Sparky, You don't think I'm going to get ANY density? Wow, so in your opinion all of this was a complete waste of time and money plus the scar and risk I may actually lose hair and not gain any? That is just devestating if true

Sorry, done
