Senior Member Stimpson Posted December 13, 2008 Senior Member Share Posted December 13, 2008 I guess the finesteride might help keep the hair you have or delay the widening of the crown, lowering of the horeshoe, etc. From your pics I didn't realize you still had a lot of crown hair. I guess your crown is kind of like mine (sparser than normal, but definitely some hair present). The meds seem to be working okay for my crown, at least in that I don't think I've lost more. Fin has produced no sides whatsoever for me. To revise my opinion, and JUST my opinion, if I KNEW I was going to be a NW7, I would not do an HT at all. I would just trim it tight and let it be. There are worse things in life than being bald. Good luck whatever you choose. Stimpson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Stimpson Posted December 13, 2008 Senior Member Share Posted December 13, 2008 Oh about me being a good HT candidate, see as I mentioned in other thread, my dad is nw7 so I will be loosing more and more untill I reach stage7. For me gitting an HT and not using propecia means I will need another one most likely 2 more HT's with a next 10 years or so, I don't know what to do. I want to get an HT, but I don't want to use meds at all, not sure if this is the best thing for me though. More importantly than multiple HT's it means you probably don't have enough donor hair for a worthwhile result in the end at all. That's what I would be worried about.

I hate to see me going bald. I look so much older it's not even funny. My face could pass for a 24 but my baldness makes it over 30 years old. Shuks.

Senior Member Stimpson Posted December 14, 2008 Senior Member Share Posted December 14, 2008 I would just proceed with extreme caution (you obviously already are). Are you 24, then? Because if you have that level of loss at 24, you likely truly are destined for a NW7. Stimpson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill - Seemiller Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 This topic has been moved to the "Hair Loss Drugs" section of the forum. However, because it appears to be a hot topic and I don't intend to stop the momentum, I've created a shortcut link in the "Question and Answers" forum for you all.

Senior Member Stimpson Posted December 14, 2008 Senior Member Share Posted December 14, 2008 We should be on here to help each other, not to make someone feel worse about their situation than before they came on here. Don't be a d*ck. Is this directed to me? I am not being a dick. I truly believe propecia sides are overhyped and generally reside in peoples imaginations. As for making him feel worse, you are misguided. Honesty is the best policy here. If he is indeed destined for a NW7, extreme caution is CERTAINLY warranted. Honesty is better up front than to be stuck in a situation with a weird looking head after the sides and back lower and he is left with a bizzare island of hair inside a NW7 pattern and no donor left. An unnatural appearing HT is exponentially worse than no HT at all. I am not an authority but am rather just one voice, and I am just saying for the love of God be careful!!

Regular Member Foundation Posted December 14, 2008 Regular Member Share Posted December 14, 2008 It wasn't directed at you at all. It's my sig, directed more at people who come here bitter and just want to make others feel like they do. I appreciate honesty completely, and yours was heartfelt and sincere.

Bill - Seemiller Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 Foundation, Maybe you want to put some kind of line separator or other indicator in place so members can easily see it's in your signature. You may also consider taking out the last sentence since it's overly abrasive. Just a friendly suggestion All the best, Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member Predator Posted December 18, 2008 Senior Member Share Posted December 18, 2008 I've been on it since April and I cant say it seems to have any good or bad effects. For the older guys it's worth remembering that Hair growth is only a side effect of the drug intended for treating prostrate enlargement which can be a problem in middle age. I dont think I have anything to lose by taking it. And Icertainly dont want the shedding if I stop it.
