So I'm bald now. Anybody else?
@Mindsigh: Good call. I hadn't even considered that. Well, it's autumn now, and it'll be winter before long, so my immediate concern will be to protect my head against the cold, I guess.
Also, I actually received a genuine compliment from a semi-stranger today, so hurray for us cue balls!
^@auntblabby: interesting article. Maybe 20 years from now, I'll see how far they've advanced in case I want to return to my full head of hair.
Also, I see you've returned to your old avatar of... a Santa Clause I think it was? Back when I first glanced at it, I thought it was the Bhagwan.

the avatar is the character henry corwin from the twilight zone episode "night of the meek" where a thoroughly dissapated department store santa whose best days were long behind him, finds a unique kind of redemption at the end. anyways, for people who can't afford any kind of surgical hair treatment, there is always GLH ["Good Looking Hair"] which is a cosmetic product that thickens what hair you have left to comb over then paints the underlying scalp hair color so as to be less noticeable. there was this cat at a local record store i used to frequent who used it with his extreme combover, and close-up it was appalling but at a distance it looked ok.

What about Hairclub? they are always advertising on the tele, as far as I know they have not been sued.
One of the main things they do is hair transplants & it's the same as Bosley which is also advertized on TV. They may do them different ways but that's one of their main treatments. It's recommended to take & stay on Finasteride to help insure the new hair stays. I went to their websites & neither of them showed any locations in Vermont despite me seeing advertizements on TV so there must be some in this region but not in my state auntblabby wrote:

Some theorize that blocking the protein Prostaglandin D2 would help; Clinky LInk. I read on various forums & sites that one company is working on an allergy drug that blocks PGD2. I wish that was aLOT further along; like being available now. I'm taking two meds for allergies & sinus problems as well as a nasal spray as needed & I still have some problems so if it allowed new hair to grow back I could get off Finsateride & the other things I'm on & doing(thou I would increase one thing because I like having less testosterone & increasing it would offset the lower T due to the other things but I wouldn't need to be on anything else) & I could maybe get off the antihistamine as well.
