Senior Member Garageland Posted September 22, 2010 Senior Member Share Posted September 22, 2010 Thanks for updating the forum with your 4 month progress, things will be starting to happen now for you, as we had surgery on the same day I have been noticing new hairs appear in my hairline too over the last month or so, grow well and please keep us all updated.

Regular Member illuminated Posted November 2, 2010 Author Regular Member Share Posted November 2, 2010 ALL, An update. I took 1/5th Proscar daily for 3 months but noticed quite a few negative effects including some ED such as: much lower libido, loss of erection strength, no 'morning wood', greatly decreased ejaculate volume. Coming off 1/5th Proscar for just over a month has so far reduced the negative effects but not eliminated them so far. In the past 2 weeks I am experiencing a MASSIVE SHED. Today I tried massaging my scalp with some olive hair oil and you can see from the pictures attached how much hair has shed. Previously I tried some coconut oil and a similar amount shed then too!

Regular Member illuminated Posted November 3, 2010 Author Regular Member Share Posted November 3, 2010 I don't think my regular 'family' doctor would have a clue. I have e-mailed Joe @ Hasson and Wong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Anouar Posted November 3, 2010 Senior Member Share Posted November 3, 2010 This could be a natural progression of hairloss. I don't know if you are still using rogaine or not but how is it working for you. These hairs might have been ready to fall out but maybe proscar held them at bay for the three months usage.

Regular Member illuminated Posted November 3, 2010 Author Regular Member Share Posted November 3, 2010 Hi I am continuing to use Minoxidil 5% once per night. Due to the adverse ED effects of 1/5th Finasteride, I have discontinued that for 6 weeks thus far. It could just be continued hair loss but I have never in my life experienced it to be coming away in my hands just like this - so much so that the next day I can visibly see my scalp due to the extra loss.

Senior Member j1j9j85 Posted November 3, 2010 Senior Member Share Posted November 3, 2010 (edited) personaly i wouldnt be putting oil on yer head.... i went so bald after i had a huge shed of finest i looked bald but it grew back thicker... if you stop start etc etc with finest hairs react to hormonal changes stress and growth phases can be reduced its also very very likely that since you started finest for 9 months then stopped 3 months before HT its the hairs that finest was keeping alive that have now dopped out dead.... as stopping finest will result in the resurgence of MPB and balding as it is no longer keeping hairs growing...

Regular Member illuminated Posted November 3, 2010 Author Regular Member Share Posted November 3, 2010 I was on Fin for 3 months and started 1 month AFTER the HT. I have since stopped Fin for 6 weeks due the ED. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
