Artista and Finasteride

[Artista]

I just arrived home from my work after having my security badge updated.
I must tell you all this..

Our employee images are also updated every year as well and placed on the badge.
The city worker who processed my new badge/photo , after taking my picture, compared the 2 badges and asked me this...
" It looks like you have more hair on the new badge (compared to last year's) am I right?"
I responded,,'I guess so' LOL.

Talk about a POSITIVE experience!!
I cant wait to see what my scalp looks like in a years time.

That's always great news to hear. You can also be thankful they didn't try to have you arrested for impersonating an employee!

Congrats man! We don't hear enough positive stories like this on the forum. You must have felt like a million bucks.

Hi Ccmethinning my friend! Yes your right, I did feel like a 'million bucks' when he had asked me about the hair change.
It also supports my resolve to continue taking Finasteride for as long as is needed. Ive never had any sides' from it to date and I dont expect to.
I purposely haven't talked about this topic much lately , but Dr Wesley will probably be setting me up for his phase testing in November or soon after.
Another positive feeling for me.
Dr Wesley will be making his presentation tomorrow at the San Fran' Conference...most everyone knows about that of course.
I cant wait to hear about everything that has been presented in San Fran'

Hello everyone,
Today marks my 3RD month on generic Finasteride (Dr Reddy's) at 1 mg per day.
As I have mentioned before, I DO see an improvement arising.
None of us know just how advanced the improvement will ultimately become but I am very happy to see that it IS positively affecting my semi-minimized hair as well as my 'good' hair.
( Too bad this med doesn't affect hair that is 100% minimized.)
To re-mention, I also do take Biotin 2500 mcg daily and i use Nizarol 1% every third day.
Some days Ill double up on the Biotin but not very often.
I cant wait until I am able to also create a thread on my future phase testing with Dr Wesley!!

I wanted to say that this morning, Nov. 3rd 2013,
Im 2 days into my 4th month on Finasteride now. Again after i had taken my shower this morning and went to the mirror, I was genuinely impressed with what i am seeing now. That was not the case prior to taking Fin'.
I am feeling VERY POSITIVE about its usage.
I cannot wait to see what improvement may arise at the 6 month mark!
NO sides as yet !

I wanted to let everyone know that I had spoken with Dr Wesley yesterday.
The phase testing that I will be a patient of, will be begin sometime during the early part of Spring 2014.
The original time frame ,Nov/Dec 2013, had always been known to be an approximation anyway so i am not surprised that it will be in the Spring.
Coming out to NY in the Spring sounds good too!!
Being a patient a few months from now is no problem for me, Ive always felt lucky to have been selected anyway.
Whenever I am needed Ill BE THERE.

Hey Spex ! Hi man ,,its been too long,,Thank you..Hope all is well with you bro ..Cheers

Hi friends---Im at the 4 month and 10th day mark of Finasteride.
Like most people, I would question everything. Especially my own point of view on just about any topic in life.
When I would view my scalp after having started Fin' sometime ago, I felt that I did see possible improvement of my hair overall BUT I did consider the possibility that I was seeing 'what i wanted to see' .
After having been on Fin' now for over 4 months time I can 'safely' say that, YES, I do see a positive change in my hair overall.
I HOPE that the positive reaction is progressive as it has been for many many others ,historically speaking.
At the 6 month mark I will post photos (before and after)

[BigThinker]

Sounds good. Just keep poppin' the pill and focusing on life. That's all we can do.

The stuff works. If you say that you are seeing a difference, then I am sure you are. I have definitely seen a difference since I have started using fin. Many people get discouraged because they sometimes expect to regrow all of their hair, which for most of us isn't going to happen. They don't get their full head of hair back and give up and say it isn't working. Most of the time they give up before the 18 month mark, which is a mistake.

Hello everyone, Tomorrow, Feb 1st, marks the beginning of my 7th month on Finasteride-1mg per day !First of all Notcoolanymore ..I really do appreciate your contributions, not only here, but throughout this #1 rated hair loss forum! Thanks!
You words here on Dec 10th Are so very TRUE -
"The stuff works. If you say that you are seeing a difference, then I am sure you are..."

As I had mentioned on a different thread on 1/29 regarding the use of Fin'
" At the company where i work , for safety reasons, all employees must wear a VISIBLE photo ID badge yearly.
I had recently had to update mine. (last Oct 2013, almost 3 months on Fin') After the photo was taken by the office worker, as they all do, he compared last years ID image to this years ID image.
He said to me,,"You have more hair on this one...why?"

Ok , fast forward to this past Wednesday the 29th,
My 14 year old daughter and I were having dinner, the topic went to hair,,hers and mine. She thought to tell me about 'Bosley' -LOL.
I decided to take my bandana off and show her my head of hair.
She had NO IDEA about Finasteride nor my use of it, A teenage girl wouldnt.
Also- the last time that she saw my head of hair was approx. 2-3 months ago.
We went to a well lit hallway.
When she looked at my head she sincerely and excitedly said to me,
"Dad, you have more hair on your head-wow!!"

She and I spent quite a while viewing my scalp ,,she spotted areas in which it seems there are hairs growing back, (rejuvenated) at the crown end too.
I know my daughter. If she were talking just to make me happy ,,Id know it asap..
I told her of Fin' and its history...how long I have been on it ..etc etc.
She said,,"Dad , I think that you might get most of your hair back!"
Now I know the realities of Finasteride and I AM A REALIST...It is quite possible that i will NOT get most of the hair back..,,and that s OK.
I am to this day becoming more and more satisfied with its use.
NO SIDES from it too.
