I'm a reasonably intelligent young-ish man with what I'd refer to as soul-dysmorphia - to me, my hair loss feels like a physical manifestation of all that's ugly and loathsome inside me.
After suffering some monstrous side effects from Rogaine alone, it became obvious to me (back in November 2010) that I had to choose between my life and my hair. SO now, 4 months later, my entire hairline has eroded by about half an inch. The puffiness and dark circles from Rogaine never fully disappeared, although my breathing did go back to normal.

Interests
I invested in a new iPod, and hair loss is no longer the focal point of my entire life!

I sell expensive shoes to obscenely wealthy, disarmingly friendly middle-aged people.
