Egads! My Hair Is Thinning & I Don’t Have The Kind Of Face To Go Shave It All Off! What To Do?

Monday, November 2nd, 2009

Male pattern baldness is not a family trait, I attribute it to stress, smoking , & an American (too much, fat, carbs, & chemicals) diet.
But I’ve quit smoking, I’m eating better, exercising, trying to chill out, but it’s still looking worse every week. It’s thinning from the front to about the middle of my head.
My friends say its a lost cause & that I should just shave it all off, & I would, but I have a HUGE, scarred, bumpy forehead & even when I keep my hair short it doesn’t look good….what can I do, I’m considering everything (including surgery), I don’t consider myself vain, but this is constantly on my mind! What works? I’ve heard of everything from Propecia to lemon juice. Ive tried Rogaine, massaging, olive oil, ….What works for you?

Low Sex Drive, Need Serious Help. Don’t Know Where To Turn.?

Monday, November 2nd, 2009

My doctor doesn’t really help me, I think he thinks its all in my head. I’m probably going to find a new doctor, but in the mean time I’d like to feel like I’m at least trying to improve the situation.
About a year ago I went on a medication called propecia for male pattern baldness, about 3 months in I realized my sex drive just wasn’t there. I quit immediately. It was so gradual I didn’t realize it until it was pretty bad. I met a girl, and just wasn’t able to “perform”. Before this was never a problem, in fact the opposite was true, my sex drive was way too high and I would do things I would regret because I would be overcome with temptation. Now I can be in bed with a gorgeous girl and be bored. Even though I don’t desire sex, I desire the desire if you know what I mean? Because I remember how great it feels. More than that though I’d like to meet a nice girl, but it seems impossible to have a relationship without sex.
There is some desire, but I’d estimate it is at 10% what it used to be. Although strangely once in a while I have a “good day” and for some reason it comes back to maybe 50% or so.
I don’t know what to do. There is a website called “propeciahelp.com”, but the general consensus seems to be “there is nothing you can do, because we don’t even know why propecia is causing this”. But I just refuse to accept that. I cannot live with a severely diminished sex drive.
What can I do? Is there anything at all?
