Thank you for the positive encouragement. May I ask, what is the reality of the "sexual side effects" of Propecia? I've heard the Jay Leno jokes.
The Bernstein you mention, Dr. Robert M. Bernstein, right? This may sound petty, but is it of concern to anyone that he has extensive hair loss himself, and doesn't feel inclined to address it? I'm sure it's silly of me to point it out. It looks like he has all kinds of credentials, and I guess he is very secure in himself and his looks, but does he really relate? If his procedures are that good, I guess he doesn't have to.
Dr. Feller has a real head of hair...
I'm almost embarrassed that I'm looking at them like that.
I don't ask this or think this way when I see other men, say, around the office (Or do I? I know I compare my hair loss to other guys- more hair than that guy, damn I use to have hair like that guy... etc.).
I just want to know that the person who is doing this work knows what this means to me. This is what people see as "me" when they look me in the face that we're talking about. I'm putting this in their hands.
Maybe this fellow Bernstein does really relate because he's lost a lot of hair, maybe he relates better than a guy like Feller with his thick mane!
The reality is, they all seem to have their expertise, and their bios are all very impressive. I just don't want to end up under the scalpel of some hack. None of these guys seem like hacks.
I really appreciate your reply. I suppose, having gone through this already yourself. You understand. I'm trying to be as objective, and practical, and rational about my inquiry as I can be, but deep down, I'm terrified of screwing it up.
Sorry for the ramble. I'll look into these other two as well. Probably after I have a consultation with Dr. True.
Thank you so much for your reply and your advice. This board is a real resource, I'm learning so much from just reading other people's posts.
