    Default Three Weeks on Propecia

    I have been on propecia for three weeks now due to what appeared to be a rather sudden loss of hair coverage all over the top of my head (no pattern yet -temples/crown). I know that hair loss is a slow process but I have pictures to back up my sudden losses. I went to two doctors and a dermatologist who all agreed it was MPB and that it could occur regardless of no family history (either side). They claimed that the hair loss probably just reached a "tipping point" where I finally noticed it.

    Here's the issue, since starting the propecia my personal area seems to have a dull feeling or an ache from the two balls but no dire pain. They also seem to get firmer once taking the pill then return to normal throughout the day. Otherwise, everything else is good, no pain. Is this normal? And is it simply the body getting used to the drug?

    Also, since taking the pill, I seem to notice that my hair may be filling in a bit but I am not 100% sure and it may be optimism. Also, every few days I get a rush of ichyness that I treat with Nizoral 1%....Does the iching mean more hair will be lost?

    I have had a full load of blood work done and all was normal except for a slightly high CPK test, my doctor also decided to take me off of statins (cholesterol pill) thinking that this may have caused the CPK result.

    Thanks
