A bit of a funny question: am I the only bloke here over 30?

[mpalardy]

It's odd to ask, I know, but it seems that so many posters here are in their college years or their teens, for whom the process of aging seems a remote and distant thing.

Am I the only fellow seeking to deal with my hair loss from the perspective of inevitable aging?

Thanks.

Nearly all the new posts are from under 30 as that is when they start to lose their hair, but there are plenty of veterans who use the forum and some who have drifted away

Not the only one brah, I'm over thirty as well.

I'm thirty-six. Started noticing hairloss five years ago.

what were the symptoms

Ability to think clearly, poor short term memory, fatigue, feeling spaced out, slurring words, muscle twitches...

The symptoms are similar to those of early Alzheimer's disease. I made a thread to make other guys aware - http://www.baldtruthtalk.com/showthread.php?t=12256
