Not sure how to comment on an individual response, so I'll have to group them together in here. Before I do, I'd like to thank all who have responded and all those who have just spent the time to read my initial posting.

Pansy,

I started taking Propecia (finasteride 1 mg) after my wife noticed a severe balding area on the crown of my head in 1999 (I was early 50s then). Typical male-pattern baldness. After a few months on the finasteride the hair grew back!!! As I was hoping to hold the line if I was lucky, or maybe just slow the progression of hair loss, I was totally shocked. As you might imagine, I was totally overjoyed, too. But, as is apparent from the conflicting results people seem to have to various NBEs programs, what works for one may do nothing for the next and might even cause problems for the one after.

sfem,

Good suggestion, but my parents were cat people and I've never had a dog. Doesn't matter anyway as I am now allergic to cats and dogs and the outer covering of animals in general, well mammals and birds. I'm ok with fish scales, but they're kind of hard to walk and not so much fun to pet.

My femme name is Erica B----, hence my screen name of EricaB. Erica was already taken and I didn't know what the site would do if I had a space in the middle of my screen name.

samray,

Thanks. I gathered from the many postings I had read that the PM was almost the magic bullet.
