No, no transplant for me, well I hope not anyways. I'm not happy about going bald but I am VERY happy with my my treatment. Basically all I am on now is prop/minox too since I ran out of saw and l-lysine. Its been 6 months since I started proscar and I havn't gotton any worse, maybe a tad better so I think this will keep what I have, and if it does I would be very happy. If I was to transplant I would get something really cheep just in the crown area. none

My browser crashed so here are the pics none

These next pics show my hair line a lot worse and my crown from the wide where it is the thinnest(no courve on that side because that spot has always been there so I wouldn't want to draw attention to it not being there) but it has gotton bigger over the years. I can't believe how obvious the courve looks in the frontal/top of my head view, they are clearly a lot brighter then my natural color. I am gonna have to throw that stuff away, lets hope it hasn't looked that bad when I have been using it for the past few months. none

I'm posting pics of my hair and hairline now because starting in a week or two I will be starting a new regimine. These will be my before pictures. Basically I've been using 1/4 proscar for 5 months, but I also cut off on the minox, to about once a day if that. Do to cutting minox, or adding fin, I'm not sure, my hair has become a lot worse, not really obvious unless my hair is wet, the whole top looks thinner then the sides, this was never so 6 months ago, all I had was a thinning crown/v shaped hair line. thinning all over my head does not fit any pattern of mpb in my family. My new regimen: 1/4 proscar minox 5% atleast twice a day, no more slacking mixed with msm, l-argine.(to make my hair thicker I heard) l-lysine 1500mg saw palmetto 500mg I am also planning on adding this when I get more money and they are availiable. Dr. Lee's 15% minox .5 dut Maybe dmso/aloe 70/30 and either distilled water or minox. What do you guys think my hair is? nw3? nw2? My crown isn't as bad as it appears in the pic, I put 2 drops of courve on it because it bothers me so much and it looks perfect in my bathroom mirror, but in that photo the light brown seems to make it appear to stick out, so I am prolly gonna ditch courve all together. You can see the white part of my scalp more the the right side of my head, thats how my crown should look. none

I could swear I read on a forum, I thought this one that matt m. addmited to having a HT. none

http://www.arletis.com/ozbrew/ this is guy who made his "oz brew" dmso/aloe, minox and some other stuff..... he has before and after pictures, the pics suck but he claims his results as astonding. One reason I am interested in this treatment is because his directions say use it blah blah, wait six weeks.... six weeks and i'f I didn't see anything to write home about I'd drop it. Minox alone grew hair on my temples in about two weeks so I'd be able to figure this out quickly. Also it is cheep, dmso is like $5 for a bottle that will last me a year. I'm not gonna try it yet, but I might later on, I'll keep you posted with some before/after if I get results. none

Anyone here know about this? Lots of people at hairlosshelp.com forums are talking a lot about it. I guess it is dsmo mixed with aloe vera and minox, but there is lots of verations. I am thinking about starting it, but I am worried because I read about heart racing due to minox in the blood and scalp peeling, anyone know whats up with this and if it works? none

Your brother must be pissed he didn't start when you did, did you tell him about it? poor guy. none

I've been on proscar for almost four months now. I had a thinng spot in my crown, it wasn't really bad until about 6 months ago, there is one angle where I would use two mirrors to see the top of my head where it looked absolutely horrible, huge, and very close to bald. I started using courve about 6 months ago because it was pretty bad. The only time I exam it is before I put the courve in, after my shower, while my hair is wet. I am going to get a hair cut so I didn't use any courve today and just blow dried my hair. although the spot still looks thin when my hair is freshly washed and soaked, thus I never noticed how much it improved when it is dry, well today I would have to say it is back to about how it was 3 years ago when I was 19, YAY! I hope it continues to improve, I'd love to tottally wipe it out! none

it will work the same, provided you are getting the same drug, or a drug at all. You are ordering from the internet so it could just be a sugar pill. I remember there was a good link floating around this site for generic pills, forgot what it was, need to find it because I am running out. none

avodart blocks type I and II, and yes it gives better results, but along with that comes more side effects. I remember reading somewhere(it might of been a post on a forum so I have no clue how accurate it is) that 13% of men on avodart have side effects vs. 2% on proscar. Also the half-life on avodart is 6 months, meaning it stays in your body for a half a year, so do the side effects. So when you can't get it up, its gonna talk 6 months to recover, while if you are on proscar the half life is 2 weeks(??I think??) so you will be up and running very soon if you have side effects. I am seriously concidering avodart instead of proscar next time since I have no side effects but along with all of the above, I am more worried about this. Proscar(generic) I can get a 90 day supply(divided by four, thats over a year) for about $50, where as I can get a three month supply of advodart for a little over $300. I do know one thing, if advodart regrew every hair on my head I'd switch back to proscar after I regrew it. You think it would stick? none

I have two older brothers(34, 33) One brother has a bald spot and a receding hair line(nw3), the other brother has a mild receding hair line(nw 2 maybe?) and no bald spot what so ever, not even thin in back. I am 22, taking the path the nw3 brother was taken(I noticed his a thin spot when he was around my age.) I am also taking proscar so hopefully I will end up even better off then both brothers. none

You say you don't expect much out of this, thats good, kind of, but don't give up hope at the same time. I started proscar about 3 months ago(don't know if it is working yet, except it halted my shedding, so maybe?) anyways propecia stops dht in your body, not just dht that goes to one part of your head, so therefore I think it is reasonable to assume that if it stops balding in your crown(thats where the tests were done, thats why they claim it only helps in that area) it should stop blading all over the head. They say the same about rogaine, maybe it is just me but rogaine started to regrew hair in my temples in about 2 weeks(it shouldn't start until atleast 2 months) so as you can see results can vary person to person so there is no reason to assume propecia, or rogaine won't do much for you until it doesn't. I've even read cases where it regrew almost whole heads of hair, but that could just be stories. Maybe try avodart? I would if it wasn't so expensive. none
