Hi,
I have been a long time lurker here.
Bit of background - I started to lose my hair during my second year of university (2 years ago). I am a medical student and i get pretty stressed. However, this disease has absolutely ruined me. I can no longer look at myself in the mirror.
TBH I only have a receding hairline. I was born with an uneven hairline and used to push my fringe to cover it. Now I cut it short in an attempt to minimise the thinning/recession.
I tried finasteride for 2 months and got some bad side effects on it. Gynae and ED.
I then tried minoxidil and have been on it for 2 years. The minoxidil helped keep my hair to a pretty good standard for a year. I then decided to incorporate RU58841 30mg. I experienced mild Gynae and sometimes some ED. It seems to talk much longer to reach an erection and i can't seem to hold it for any time. The quality of my semen is the same however.
All of a sudden my MPB seemed to get worse with the sides of my head becoming extremely warm and inflamed and the hairs becoming extremely easy to pull out.
I have a feeling RU isn't working anymore. I have bumped it up to 50mg which seemed to have stopped the shed. However, I am really worried about the sides as i can't even have fulfilling sex with the girl I'm seeing at the moment.
All i want is to wake up in the morning. Look at myself in the mirror and be happy with how i look. Instead of standing trying to comb my hair to some sort of acceptable style.
I want to be able to live my life as a 23 year old. I feel shackled and seeing everyone around me with a full head of hair makes me so depressed.
I have thoughts of just getting a knife and ending it. I know suicide is a ridiculous concept and i don't have the balls to do it. But I'm worried one day i might just flip and do something i will regret.
Im going to currently stick with RU and minoxidil and take zinc/st johns wort to combat the sides. I can only pray that follicept works. If not I'm going to have to buzz it down and accept the comments that will follow. **** this life. I wasn't meant to be live like this. My father has a complete head of hair as does my grandfather. I got it from my mums side and the ****ed up thing is I feel like i don't want to talk to her. I feel its her fault. Im a total mess.
