Positive Results So Far

[LondonHK38]

Just wanted to put a positive story out there, as so much of what I read before I started treatment is negative, probably due to more frustrated people spending time on forums.

I'm 40, receded to a 'respectable' peak during my mid-late 20s and then only in the last couple of years saw sudden thinning in my crown area. I had a friend comment on it in 2011, but it was only after seeing some holiday snaps taken earlier this year did I really notice how noticeable it had become.

Back around Easter I decided to actually put a bit of effort in to stopping it going further, I'm quite 'boyish' looking, very youthful in life and personality and I suddenly realised I would feel daft and aged with a bald spot.

So I bought some Regaine foam and official expensive Propecia, I'd also been using Alpecin for several months anyway and have kept up with that. I had no noticeable side-effects, in fact due to changes in my life I'm actually having more sex this year than I have done in about 7 (no issues at all, no change in ejaculation etc). I started to notice thickening around the crown within a month or two and now there is no noticeable thinning at all, in fact my hair feels much thicker and lusher than it has for years. Not much yet around my temples, but I can live with that if nothing ever changes there.

I'm now on the generic finasteride 5mg with the annoying fiddly cutting up and I've now been on this for maybe a month. All good so far.
