Hi, I've been reading this forum for the past six weeks and I'd just like to say it's been very helpful in finding out all the information available on MPB and possible treatments.
I'm 27, I first started to recede when I was 20 and I've been a NW 3 for a good six years now. At first I was disappointed and it affected my confidence with girls but I got used to it and found that a healthy self deprecating sense of humor and plenty of gym work is enough to combat the confidence affects of baldness. And it is certainly needed as I have had plenty of jokes from male friends over the years.
I'd never really considered using any treatments as even tho I would prefer more hair, it suits the shape of my head in a way. But a couple of months ago I noticed I was thinning a lot on my crown, even more so than my dad who is 52 so I thought if I want to keep my current hair then I need to do something about it now.
I read all the information available but to be honest when it comes to things like side effects I'm kind of one to throw caution to the wind as I've done plenty of medical trials so I just dove straight in.
For the past month I've been taking
Finasteride 1mg
Minoxidil 2%
Nizoril
Biotin 1200g
Silica
Zinc 20g
Garlic 900g
And I've just bought some Emu oil today.
Fortunately so far I haven't had any sides, obviously the main worry was loss of libido but if anything its increased.
I'm excited to see where I'm going to be at a year from now, my aim is to not lose anymore which I will be fine with but if I regain some of what I've lost on my crown then I will be very happy. I look forward to talking to you all more often on here.
