  1. used to smoke regularly but i now am QUITE successful at being a social smoker (though at the same time there's nothing like a bad day at work to drag you back into the soothing embrace of nicotine!) If i could i'd smoke regularly. I enjoy it, so fuck the long term effects! Only problem is the old asthma means the long term effects are reduced to quite present effects. After a few bad bouts of chest problems, and one particularly bad moment, i've reduced the amount i smoke... as the unpleasant choking etc was overshadowing the pleasantness of smoking. But i can't see myself ever fully quitting. It's enjoyable, i enjoy smoking when i'm out, and i live to enjoy life! But kudos on quitting! It's not easy. incidentally, don't you hate when non smokers tell you to quit? the old 'how hard can it be' crap.... quite hard!
  2. incidentally.... peace out guys!!! why all the hostility??? we all know what stress does...
  3. i know how you feel jupiter, i'm in exactly the same situation myself... I've always had longish hair and.... i really just can't bear the thought of shaving it off.... Plus the fact i gots a big head underneath! Though i might wait til i'm 18 and start using propecia etc. i realy can't do anything about my problem for another few months! very frustrating... Shaving would be a quick fix but... i don't know if it will actually make me feel better and not worse. I think the main problem with shaving it (especially if you have longish/medium length hair before hand) is it's venturing into the unknown... you don't know how it's gonna look and there's really no going back once you do it. All i'd say is try nto to make any rash decisions. Rash decisions usually turn out to be the wrong ones!
  4. Hi everyone! Thanks for all your advice, i'm taking it all in and trying to sort out what i'm going to do. Meanwhile, as i mentioned earlier i've only just started looking into all this recently (HTs and Propecia etc), and while researching propecia... it seems i need to be 18 for that aswell! All clinics i've seen on the net has an over 18's policy, including the belgravia clinic in London (incidentally thanks for that Thinair, i'm often visiting in London so that clinic is perfect for me). I guess there must be a medical reason for it (though if i'm physically mature enough to be going bald i think i'm pretty much there!) So to be honest i'm feeling a little lost at the moment... but i'm continuing to research and take in any advice anyone here has to offer. I guess the next step would be to head down to my doctor and see what he has to say. At least i guess a bonus of having to wait is i have plenty of time to research and think. Once everything does get underway i'll definately keep posting and keeping you up to date. Could be the youngest hair restoration diary on here! Thanks again. Peace and love
  5. ok....not sure about the hostility there chucky, i'd say take a chill pill man! I am most definately 'who i claim to be'. And in fact my 'contradictions' were merely pointing out the contradictions on the DHI website, a case of seemingly false advertising (as nobody seems to be very hsppy with them at all!) The fact is i came here for advice as i don't know anything about HTs. Given my situation I've only recently been looking into it and haven't really talked to anybody about it as of yet. So apologies for the post 'stinking' through my ignorance! To be honest we don't really have much to offer in terms of HTs in Ireland, and very little outlets to find out about it. DHI were one of maybe three HT clinics i could find, the other two (Dr. Kiely and.... i can't remember the other persons name) not receiving great reviews themselves! But thanks to everyone for the advice, I'll definately take note of your warning about DHI. Probabaly have to look abroad... Peace and love
  6. ah thank you for the advice... even if it isn't great news! i was wondering if age would be a barrier alright... though i always thought that because i am very physically mature for my age and i my hair loss started about a 1 1/2 - 2 years ago which might increase my chances of being able to get it done. but i will definately take advice from both of you and look into any other ways that i can accelerate the process of becoming a viable candidate. as for DHI, chucky i see you got a HT with DHI? how was your expereince with them? sorry to see you did not get the results you hoped for, and must say i'm surprised! one thing that attracted me to them in the first place was where they said "100% guaranteed hair loss treatment"...
  7. oh by the way, i believe the chief surgeon in ireland is Dr. Patrick Treacy if that helps in any way...
  8. Hi, i'm new to this forum and it's actually the first time i've spoken to anyone about hair transplants.... my current situation is: i'm 17 years old but i've been losing hair since late 15/early 16, very early i know! At the moment my hair is very thick and curly on the sides but getting quite thin on the top/crown area. i've heard about DHI hair restoration that's available in Dublin. Some of the results on the website are fantastic, but i know that websites CAN be misleading. i'm just wondering, does anybody know anything about DHI hair restoration? good reviews? bad reviews? i do plan to go for a consultation but i came here because i think some neutral views would be very helpful too. thanks!
