Doing a search on "Paul Rose" ought to bring up a wealth of posts with what you may looking for. The main question is how do YOU feel? Hope things go well for you. Chaos, panic and disorder...my work here is done.

"If the only downside of FUE is its price, then there is no compelling reason to get a strip." Arfy, I have read a number of your posts and must say that you provide a lot of insightful and thought provoking points - my hat's off to you (oops and a few hairs too). I don't wish to challenge the quote above, just offer MY slant in favor of strip as my first procedure. As a prequel to the following, I am 40, been noticeably thinning for 10 years and a NW3+. Maybe it's a character flaw of mine, but I've always been a practical person who enjoys getting the most bang for my buck. I also do a LOT of research before I let go of any wampum this large. Granted an HT is not like buying a car - there are extreme lifelong physical and aesthetic issues to consider. However price to value must be a consideration as well. The consultations I've had put me at about 2800 FU's for reasonable results. Conservatively that's about $10,000 for a strip and $22,000 for FUE. Now, all of my research in here shows me that for $10,000: 1) I can have a strip procedure with the best strip doctor in the world - bang! I can have an FUE procedure with the best FUE doctor in the world - bang! 2) I can receive 2600 FU's in ONE strip procedure - bang! I can receive 1300 FU's in TWO FUE procedures - phhht 3) I will end up with a scar from a strip procedure - phhht I will end up without a scar from a FUE procedure - bang! 4) I can expect reasonable results based on the number FU's and on similar and well documented strip procedures - bang! I can expect halfway reasonable results based SOLEY on the number of FU's and very little results documentation - phhht Certainly, strip provides the most bang for my buck. For me the primary difference of strip vs. FUE is getting over the "drama" of scar vs. no scar. The well documented results of CURRENT strip procedures illustrate to me that there is an excellent chance of reasonable results and minimal scarring. This is compelling enough for me - see you in March Dr. Wong! Chaos, panic and disorder...my work here is done.

I'd be interested in knowing - have you had any more procedures since '91? How old were you then, and what do you believe your were on the NW scale? Have you taken Propecia, used Minox since then? Just hoping for a better illustration from your experience of what else to consider for my own transplanted future. Thanks. Chaos, panic and disorder...my work here is done.

NW is right, don't set yourself up for more disappointment. Hypothetically (and this is the pessimist in me), say you do get a lawyer - he/she will probably want like a $2000 retainer right up front. Guess what? They'll suck that up before they even set up a court date, and probably $2000 more before you even step into a courtroom. At that point you'd be almost halfway to a repair/enhancement procedure with a reputable clinic instead of helping pay some vulture's country club dues. I'm sure there isn't one person in here that doesn't feel for you man. If I were you, I would try and document my experience so far (including pictures) and post it in this forum. A bad experience is just as important in here as a good one. There are many people in here that can relate and can provide experienced guidance. You may not be as bad off as you think. This place is free. I believe it would be a wise investment of your time. Hang in there, I wish you nothing but the best. Chaos, panic and disorder...my work here is done.

Actually starting to get some peach fuzz on top. No real side effects to speak of. Chaos, panic and disorder...my work here is done.

Had to see for myself. Thought I would share my sleuth work with the group. I've always enjoyed John Corbett on Northern Exposure, even though my girlfriend at the time had a huge crush on him . I also enjoyed his recently cancelled series on FX called 'Lucky'. I remember remarking to myself how well his hair has held up since NE (I believe NE last aired in '95). I never really followed him much between the two shows. I've never really followed 'Sex in the City' either but happened to catch a rerun the other night with JC in it. I guess he played SJP's boyfriend for a while. Anyhow, there is this scene where he climbs into the shower with SJP and I'm saying to myself "man he looks like he lost some locks..." Well, soon the old water hits the hair and then it was "whoa , I've been there brother!" Anyhow, I poked around the web and put together a picture chronology from the NE days until last year. Here are the links: 'Northern Exposure', circa 1990: http://www.john-corbett.com/pubstills/nx/chris.jpg 'Sex in the City', circa 2000: http://www.john-corbett.com/screencaps/satc3/cafe3.jpg 'Prancer Returns', circa 2001: http://www.john-corbett.com/pubstills/other/prancer4.jpg People's Choice Awards circa 2002: http://i.imdb.com/Photos/Events/1917/JohnCorbet_Grani_813074_400.jpg I'm thinking he's had a plant. Not as good as FUTzyhead , but definitely some nice work. Chaos, panic and disorder...my work here is done.

I've been on it for a couple of weeks. I usually take my dose about an hour before bed. "Consciously" I have noticed slight prickly sensations on my skin, mostly arms and legs for about a half hour or so after taking the pill - almost negligble in my opinion. Now for the good part - "subconsciously" I have experienced wild an vivid dreams. In fact, I've been getting more ass in the last couple of weeks than probably in a couple of months worth of dreaming. I am happy to report that consciously and subconsciously the dreaded libido effect has not been an issue. As far as your urination issue goes - it could be that since you are exposing your body to a new drug that has potentially known side effects, you may be expecting something to happen and are simply just more cognizant of your urination. At any rate, you should certainly consult your physician that prescribed the drug in the first place if you really believe this is unusual for you. Hope things work out for you.

Just curious if anyone got rid of a few forehead (fivehead) wrinkles after being stitched back up?
