Wow, that's pretty amazing results in that period of time, Brian. I thought that Propecia took 6 months before it
started working! That is one of the reasons why I did not use it, even though I am a prime candidate. I know that might sound like a goofy excuse, but I really don't like taking a pill every day, and also I am cheap.
My hair did not start thinning until mid-30s, I am now 46 and I've lost probably 50% volume on the top, w/ the classic thinning of the crown and receding hair line. The loss happened pretty suddenly, (or so it seemed), and has not gotten much worse. Or more accurately, it has gotten worse but it is a really slow decline.
The really lucky guys are either the ones who do not lose their hair, or look good bald. Most heads look better w/ some hair on them. I have the extreme premature grey gene, so I really don't want the going bald one too. Makes me feel like I have 70 y.o. hair on a 40-something body. It may sound shallow, but growing older is a lot easier if you still look OK. Having your health is of course the most important thing. It's all tied into good old mortality.
So it sounds like finasteride + rogaine is the hot ticket? No danger in mixing the two treatments? Do they work independent of each other?
