OK -- I've been looking into getting a HT for the past several years. I had decided about 6 years ago to get one with Dr. Bernstein and he prescribed Propecia. Well, it wasn't too long after beginning use that I had the dreaded side effect. So, I abandoned the HT procedure.
Over these past years I've seen my hair continue to thin and my the bald spot on my crown grow.
It's gotten to the point where I have to either fish or cut bait.
I've heard conflicting opinions on whether it makes sense to have a HT without combining with Propecia. From my standpoint, I won't take the medicine again because the side effect is worse than being bald.
Any objective thoughts would be much appreciated.
