I've heard that minoxidil, while not espeially effective as a hair restorer can be helpful for shock loss, are you doing the "basics" like the proscar/ minox/ grafcyte perhaps? Sorry, I cant be of more help, I understand shock loss is quite rare and generaly only affects the transpalnted area, so I'm confused as to why you should suddelny shed from behing the recipient area. What does your ht surgon say? NV

Seriously chaps, I mean I have only glimpsed at this and I see very in here little to help the hair loss comunity. NV

Ok, if we put aside weight traing, how about other forms of excecise? Say Yoga, or Pilates? I think a good streach is vital these days! Also, any ball player out there? I play 5 a side soccer, which I guess is pretty simalr in the sorts of twist / turn impact injurys to basket ball? How long would you lay of that? I have to admit after my first ht it was sugested to me that I could return to light exercise after 4 days, which I did! I think a gym where your movemets are very controlled and your head raised would probaly be ok? As far as I undersatnd it the gafts should be secure after a week, and the donor site should be resonaly healed after two. I would probaly start all my routnines after this time unless advised otherwise by my next ht doc?

HI All, My spelling is certanly the worst on the site, is there a way of spell cheking while on-line, writing in the "window" above the post now button, you all suffer my spelling and I do feel moderatly guilty about it. Best NV
