Listen guys, i wasn't trying to sound like a dick yesterday, it was just a bad day. But im just wary of putting stuff in me that hasn't been tested. Yes i know propecia can **** you up, which is why im not taking it. But propecia and rogaine do actually work to some extent. I know that these big pharma companies are corrupt to hell and that for the majority of illnesses they make far more money off treatments than they would for a cure. But yeah, the point i was trying to get across is that this guy used rogaine, experienced a shed, and then this hair grew back and his hairline restored a fair amount. It could of just been the minoxidil that did this and not the RU. I wasn't trying to offend anyone on here, and i apologise if i did.

Theres quite a few accounts of RU working across different forums. It does work, to whatever extent. RU usually doesnt cause regrowth, which everyone accepts. RU just halts or slows down the balding process. Fin and minox can then cause some regrowth. I do think it wont work for everyone, and your concerns are competeley justified. Its a chemical people are putting on their heads! But its a calculated risk, just like the calculated risk of going onto fin. What can i say? we're desperate Im refusing fin because the side effects scare me (but im not ruling it out). Thats after plenty of research, but i feel more comfortable with RU on my head, for now.

Yeah fin scares me too but im way too wary to start RU. At the moment i still have a lot of hair so i think i'll just wait for a bit and see if there's research into it or if they actually bring one of these cutting edge treatments to the market. If they could just bring out something safe that would stop MPB in its tracks i'd be delighted.

If youve got the hair, dont even bother with forums, go enjoy it Im going onto these treatments because I feel that we're going to have far better options in the near future. Stuff like HSC, and the pgd2 treatments, and MAYBE even some cell based treatments. I dont want the treatments to arrive, and think to myself "damn! Wish i saved my hair!". Its impossible to combat DHT 100% safely. PGD2 blocking might just help, so far Histogens HSC seems safe. But then again, theres people been using RU for years on other forums...with nothing bad to report. Pretty sad that we dont yet have THE treatment that can halt baldness safely and cheaply, but I'm quite sure things will improve.

I think fin sides are exagerrated on forums, because its mostly guys who had bad experiences who come here to find alternatives. Im still toying with the idea of taking Fin aswell. Pretty sure most guys are ok with fin...

Its like when I went laser eye surgery. The forums are FULL of negative reports about the lasek method. People warning 'dont do it!'. Some people having bad vision after 6 months. It seemed lasek was a dark path to go down. Its a bit scary! I had it done at a very reputable clinic...had absolutely no issues, no discomfort, no pain. Just 100% vision.

No side effects at all in the last 11 months of usage.

Also, you need to learn how to use periods and commas.

glad to see someone replied but there was no need to throw in your obnoxious comments. I didn't know you were the Grammar moderator of this forum.
