I’ve been having strange dreams lately and I am unsure why. The point is that as I was waking up that AM, alarm clock screaming at me to get out of bed, I was dreaming a horrible dream… I was bald but, not totally bald, increasingly like weird patches of total baldness and some other weird patches of peach fuzz I guess it was sort of like alopecia, mixed in with the hair I had preceding to my Bosley procedure. Needless to say, I flung myself out of bed and ran to the closest reflect to be certain that it was just a dream, or in my intellect a nightmare. Lucky for me it was. I am still extremely happy with my results and continue to get reactions from citizens that haven’t seen me in a while. Recently I saw my mom and step-dad, we were driving in the car, sun shining in the sunroof and my mom commented how much hair I have now! I tried to just move past it and not act TOO excited but it’s nice to form out these things. I am slightly overdue for another haircut and sadly considering of that fact I feel like I have a huge mop on my head but, that is a good thing, right? I mean the alternative was to be extremely receding and balding!

Hi,
I am a 24 year old male and have begun the early stages of MPB. My doctor has prescribed Minoxidil 5% and I know your suppose to apply it twice a day but that doesn’t really fit into my schedule, so I have only been applying it about once every other day.
