Guest Posted September 13, 2003 Share Posted September 13, 2003 Hello Group, Well, I have bitched and cried enough in the past on this forum. I have complained about androgenetic alopecia, telegon effluvium, and transplants not working. Now I will share my good news. My most receint addition to my drug cocktail has been Avodart. I believe this drug is the major reason for my improved fullness and hairline thickening. I have uploaded 4 pictures of the significant stages of my hair loss and regrowth period. Stage I: Aug 02-(AGA) orchiectomy, Proscar, Premarin, Provera Stage II: Jan 03-(HT1835) added Minoxidil Stage III:May 03-(TE) added Spironolactone Stage IV: Sep 03-(REGROWTH) added Avodart Thank you all who have helped me in the past, especially Jenn Luv Purpella xxxx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted September 13, 2003 Share Posted September 13, 2003 If I read your post right, the only thing's that you have given time to work would be the Proscar and the hair transplant(1,835 graft's). HT1835? That did mean a 1,835 graft hair transplant didn't it ? From where you started you have come a long way. You look great... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member JohnH Posted September 14, 2003 Senior Member Share Posted September 14, 2003 Purpella, I have a problem with your post. You state that Avodart has caused increased thickening of your hair. You have been on it for what, 2 weeks? I think you are seeing the very good results of Dr. Albert's work. From the pictures, it looks like your HT hair grew to a decent length before falling out like most transplanted hairs do. Your results are also from the other procedures and drugs that you have listed. I am happy for you that your hair now looks very good. I just don't think the results are from Avodart which I understand is a rather expensive drug.

Guest Posted September 14, 2003 Share Posted September 14, 2003 Each stage has this information: 1) Date of picture 2) Discription of what is going on with my hair up to the time of the photo 3) Treatment used prior to the photo I have been on Avodart for 4 months.(Stage IV) The fall out in the pic is not from the HT, but from TE. (Stage III) TE = telegon effluviun brought on by Spironolactone and Avodart. HT1835 = hair transplants @1835 grafts (Stage II) I have been on Premarin and Provera 2 years before the first photo. I believe these drugs maintained my hair only. (Stage I) I hope that this info helps. I guess my attempt at making a summary made things confusing Purpella Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member trying2moveahead Posted September 14, 2003 Regular Member Share Posted September 14, 2003 Things are looking pretty good so far! You've had a great deal of growth since May '03. Quick question...what are we looking at in pic # 1 there? Is that a scalp reduction incision in the middle? Your post stated "orchiectomy", but I'm pretty sure that is not the medical term for that. trying2moveahead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 20, 2003 Share Posted September 20, 2003 Picture #1 is pre HT - actually at Dr. Beehners office. I did not have a scalp reduction. And you do not want to know what an orchiectomy is - lol. Purpella Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
