Hair Today

[eggwards]

Damn, My hair really is thinning. Right on top. I know you can't tell, but I can. Anyone know if Rogaine is worth it? It's too early to shave it off.

Otherwise, in other disasters, the Posideon Adventure is on.

If you really think it's important, then you should consider using Rogaine/Minoxidil. The problem with this plan of treatment is it's lifelong...unless medicine finds something new. You would also have to start now, since these two drugs prevent hair loss (although it's efficacy varies from individual to individual). These treatments are also kind of oily/sticky feeling. Propecia may help regrow hair if you want to wait a while, but can cause impotency. I know all of this because my ex-partner battled the problem for years.

Truth is Michael, you are a handsome man. And from reading your journal you are also kind, sensitive, intelligent with humor. Hair loss isn't going to change any of that.

Just for fun....   

Of course, if you every get to this point, you'll be many years older, either way you're going to be a good looking older man. WOOF!

Ha! I will look like my grandfather (It's true!)

Thanks for your advice. I think I'll get over it, but I'm just being a little vain right now. I guess I was hoping that the genes from my father's side of the family would kick in and stop that!

Gosh - what a surprize! I promise not to do a comb-over.
