Okay, so about two years ago, I started to notice my hair thinning out in the front. Every time I'd run my fingers through the hair, or shampooed, I'd see some hair fall out. Since then, I started using Rogaine, and it seriously slowed down the thinning, as stopped having the hair in my sink and shower. Problem is that Rogaine only slows it down, and doesn't completely stop it. Case in point, when I was in Asia last year, I noticed an absurd amount of hair falling out because they don't have water softeners like we do. Finally, after several others I know started using it, I started Propecia like two months ago. My buddy likened eliminating the DHT to proactively stomping out terrorists. My only concern however, was the potential risk of erectile dysfunction. It's difficut enough to get a hard-on after a full night of drinking (eg "whiskey dick"), so I didn't want to worry about this during my prime hooking up years. Good news is that it's been two months, and I have no problems getting wood. The hair fallout has come to a screeching halt, and I can see new little hairs sprouting up! Combined with the Rogaine, the Propecia is an awesome defense against hair loss.
Your post contains more info than I'll ever need. Btw, bald guys can get erections too. Having gone way past the thinning stages, I'm happy just the way I am and would rather spend that kind of money elsewhere. Congrats on your success though.
I guess I should get proactive with this. My hair has started thinning at the back. I hear if your uncle on your mother's side is bald, your chances are higher. My uncle is bald, Costanza bald.
I can't believe people are talking about too much information on a board where there have been threads about peeing in the shower and constipation vs. diarrhea
Am I the only one that thinks this is the next wave of infomercials? Pay longtime Internet board members to talk about a product? Since noone trusts celebrity endorsements anymore, what could be better than signing up for as many boards as possible, establish a rep and then in 3 or 4 years be able to "endorse" like 6 or 7 products, what a payoff! Propecia one day, laxatives tomorrow. When will the one about the George Foreman grill come up?
I'd rather be bald and be nice and stiff than have a head full of hair and a really exhausted tongue.
I have a close friend who takes it, and also uses Viagra. He has no problems with balancing the meds, is divorced, in his 40s, and dates girls in their 20s. He also has a large wallet, which must explain the dating younger chicks, because he ain't a hell of a lot to look at. That's what a Harvard MBA will do for you. BTW, you take Propecia every day, and Viagra about an hour, or less, before you think you'll get lucky. I use Viagra sometimes just because it's a kick. A real kick.
I don't care what they say, the more you shave your hair the more it seems to grown and fill in, this is not some myth.
is the whole mother's father thing correct? that if your mother's father had a full head of hair at 80, you will too?? if so, i'm golden. but my hair is thinning a bit.
