  2. well said Bill! thats what I wanted to write also.

     

    in between, Bill, I know that you become a real professional in hair loss domain! why dnt you study some years and be a doctor ? I will be your first patient !

     

    take care

  3. man! which is easier, to brush your teeth or to swallow a pill!!?

    the shedding is a good sign for hair cycle and that new hair will grow! why u stopped!!

    but one month should be fine.

  4. Hello,

    I have read many posts and what I tell you is DO NOT quit if you dnt have any side effects! some guys got improvements nearly after 2 years. the shedding is normal and is a sign of hair cycles. just continue using it, and it is advised to use minoxidil 5% at same time. maybe some Vitamines, and some shampoo like Nizoral.

    hope this help!

  5. thank you very much Dhoose for your support !

    yes me too I believe that this meds will help ! I still have very thick hair except for the crown and the frontal! my bigger brother (44 years old) still has thick hair on the crown but his front is almost like me ( he didn't use any meds) ! maybe because he doesn't smoke cigarettes! I also always color my hair for years almost every 3 months! to cover some gray hairs.. I dnt know if that is healthy..

    yes the HT is the last solution! I just want to delay it little bit maybe when I am 45 or so.

    otherwise my body is very responsive for the Vitamins or proteins for instance if I train bodybuilding only 2 weeks you can see lots of volume on my muscles.. I dnt know but I just hope this meds would act the same way!!! I will post my new pics after I accomplish one month of rogaine, I may start next week also Proscar when I get it.

     

     

    take care!

  6. Hello all!

    its been quite longtime I didnt login, how are you all?

     

    here we go, I just wanted to start my traitement for my hair loss, I just bought Rogaine 50mg/ml minoxidil and one Energising shampo called Dercos from Vichy labs which contains Aminexil and vitamins PP/B5/B6, destined for hairloss (red/white bottle). I also ordered Proscar 5mg which I will get it next week.

    I need your opinion! shall I already start using rogaine now or I wait untill I get my Proscar ?

    I am intending to split proscar to 1/4 as suggested here in the forum.

     

    about me:

    I am 37 years old, I noticed my thinning in 1999 and I didnt use any traitements. in 1999 I noticed a huge shedding from my the hairline and from the crown. many hairs falled! ( but still I have until today very thin hairs on those places).

    after 2 years, in 2001 the hairloss stoped by itself and it stayed like that untill today. we have hairloss in my familly both paternal/maternal because at the end they are cousins, they have same grand grand father! (but maximum NW4)

    I already wrote email to some doctors (recommended here) for transplant with pictures and they suggested 2500 to 3000 grafts. some of them told me to start with Proscar first and see if there is some improvement before going to HT.

     

    Here are some pics I took today:

    Please recommend me which one is best, as you know I dnt want to mess with my first HT!!

    PS: im between nrw2 and nrw3, I am 36 years old and I experienced loss of hair at age of 28,

    then it stopped by itself after 2 years from that age( means stops at age 30). I never used any hair drugs.

    PS: I cant go to USA or CANADA due to money and also visa procedure is so complicated (im not european! damn even though we are all human being I hate visas imposed on poor countries)

     

    thanx
