Hello everyone,
I am a 23 year old medical student who has been suffering from hair loss since I was 19 years old.
I started using Propecia and Rogaine when I was 20 but I stopped because I didn't think I was getting results (I think my expectations were too high).
Late April 2010 - I decided to give Propecia, Rogaine, and Nizoral shampoo another shot. Here is what my hairline looked at that time.
In May I left for a 3 month trip throughout Southeast Asia so I decided to shave my head. I REALLY did not like the look. AT ALL.
September 2010 - After 4 months of the 3 medications I had FANTASTIC results. You can see my hair is more dense and the hairline expanded. I was LOVING LIFE. Working out and generally feeling good.
During the first few weeks of Propecia use I had a watery consistency in my ejaculate and I just didn't feel right.
November 2010 - By this time, my hair loss started to continue. As well, I had severe side effects from Propecia use. I had general numbness and loss of sensation in my penis. I thought maybe it would go away if I kept using the meds but after 1 week I decided it just wasn't worth it.
I have been off the meds ever since.
April 17, 2011 - Here is my hair line again today.
You can see that all the hair I gained with Propecia has been lost again. My hairloss is pretty much what it was at last year this time which makes sense because I used Propecia for 6 months and so its effects wore off 6 months later.
I really can't put up with this shit much longer and I am strongly considering getting a hair transplant. My love life has been non-existent since my hairloss became severe.
