By the way, I just heard from his office. They're booked up until June 2022. So while I'm on that subject for anyone reading this, is it common to wait over 3 months for any surgeon/appointment? Because that seems crazy.

I waited over 1 year for surgery date.

Here is the 2.9 month update. I think I see a little bit of improvement. I tried to take the same pictures as before, same angles and lighting.

I tried to make finasteride work. I was actually able to tolerate it at 0.1mg topically for 30 days total, then sides kicked in real bad.

I thought it was working well, but the effects are quite insidious. I even had a strange boost in libido for day 1-2 of fin topical, not something I remembered when I tried it 3-4 years ago.

I took 14 days off and tried it again for 2 days at 0.06mg and immediately had negative sides similar to 3-4 years ago (different then 1 month ago...)

what a strange fucking drug.

I am going to take 1 month off and try slowly bringing the dose from 0.02mg and taper up to 0.06mg or so.
