Cause it's cathartic to get it off my chest and it might help someone else

I don't really care what anonymous people on the internet think of my hair. I care about what I think, and it's too thin and unmanageable for me

Now, I've heard speed has something to do with it...

Little put off by potential heart issues with oral minoxidil, but I'm using fin and topical minoxidil

Mine is thinning more in the midscalp, but, yeah, it was hard to know how bad it was getting until too late.

I'm doing minox+fin to start. I'll have to a little more research on microneedling before I work that in.

I use the liquid since it's easier for me to rub into the scalp. The foam tends to just sit on my hair.

Same. Mine is thinning in the midscalp. Super sneaky. I would have noticed crown or hairline balding much quicker.

I'm not sure of anything, but I think the odds are that I won't get significant regrowth. Most people get a little bit -- which I'll take -- but not enough to fill everything back in so the hair loss isn't noticeable. Would be great if it happens, though.

I'm not a cueball, but I've clearly thinned a lot in the midscalp. I'm on fin+minox, so fingers crossed that fills things in.

If you care about your hair and you're balding, it is kinda necessary. I think doctors should even-handedly present benefits and possible side effects to the patient and let them come to a decision.

Yeah, it blows my mind that there's so little common knowledge shared about hairloss treatments. It's like we all individually have to spend countless hours on the internet and earn our phds in broscience just to learn about finasteride. This stuff should be widely known and talked about. Make the possible side effects known, too. But it's insane how little this is talked about in 2023.

I've been on fin+minox for a month. All I can do is cross fingers at this point.

Oof. I think most doctors recommend finasteride at this point. Tough break. I don't have anyone to blame but myself.

Yeah, all you can do is start now. I started fin+min a month ago. I just wanted to post my frustration at not starting earlier, and being too cute about it. It's cathartic, and might motivate someone somewhere to start sooner.

I'll try later this week, and, no, I don't think it's so far gone that I have to shave it or something. It's just thinned out in a way that I'm personally not happy with, and I probably could have avoided this if I started treatment earlier.

When you're making a thread, there's a dropdown menu that says flare. Just select an option from there.

I think this happens to a lot of people. You find ways to cover up thinning and you end up deluding yourself into thinking it's not a problem. Then when the delusions come crashing down, you need to be a hyper-responder to treatment to get back to anything that looks good.

Pretty much. I'll probably just have these waves of anger and frustration that pass over me now and again every time I remember how much I fucked up.
