    Default Life would be simpler if I didnt...

    have to worry about hairloss.

    I feel as though my hairloss is a ticking time bomb, and I have an expiry date due to it, otherwise I would be playing the field.

    Anyone else feel this way?

    "Life would be simpler if.."

    Better to worry about the things you can change, instead of the things which you can't. It's wasted effort. If you're doing all you can (on your terms) to fight your hair loss, then try not to put too much more worry into it.

    Rather sure there's an paralytic patient out there saying "Life would be simpler if I had a functioning pair of legs", or something to that effect.

    By the way, your hair is not that bad, and there are people who are younger, and much more bald than you. Try to enjoy what hair you have, mate. And stop using hair loss as an excuse not to do the things you want to do.

    Cheers.

    Yeah you are right, I have a good set of hair given my age - 27.

    The worst thing for early norwoods I guess, is not knowing how and when it will progress.

    I am not on fin, just keto atm, I am hoping it will be stable by the time histogen comes out.

    At the same time - if I didnt have to worry about it at all, it would be a load of my mind.

    Understood. Also, you don't have to worry about it at all. While we may be reluctant to admit it, we're all to some degree making a conscious choice to worry about our hair (lack thereof).

    When mental faculties are unconscious, they express themselves as habits. As soon as you bring a thought to conscious attention, it becomes a choice. By this rationale, you can choose not to worry. Simple. Not easily done for most, perhaps, but it is indeed simple.

    Cheers.

    Given my level of hairloss - do you think I will be able to hold out by the time new treatments come out?

    Obviously I can't say for sure, as I (or anyone else) have no idea when new treatments will come out. But given your age, and having seen pictures of your hair before, I would think you're in a pretty good position as your progression seems slow.

    Tough to say, though. Some people can lose all their hair in the span of a couple years. Truthfully, you know your progression better than anyone else.

    But man, fin is a safe drug. Look up the side effect incidence rates on some common cold medications and compare that to fin. The sides on fin were like two percent above the placebo. If anything taper on slowly and if you get sides, continue on for a few months and see how it goes. If all else fails then stop. The chances of getting something permanent are so incredibly low.

    When you get your dental work done and your jaw is broken, you will realise how much BS half that shit is. As you are living life to be accepted by girls.

    My jaw is currently broken, although i care about my hairloss - its calmed down a lot since the operation.

    Glad I was blessed with damn near perfect teeth and a naturally agreeable build. Just this pesky hair loss to worry about for now,
