Bunnyheather~Anyone tried flutamide? just started.... (Androgenetic Alopcia (AGA) Female Pattern)

posted by tc, 02.02.2008, 15:13

» » » » » I've been taking cyproterone and spiro for the last 3 years and
» » » although
» » » » I
» » » » » think it did sort of help my hair loss I have a real problem
» taking
» » » » these
» » » » » anti-androgens with estrogen.
» » » » »
» » » » » Anyway, I saw my endo last week and asked if I could try
» flutamide
» » » just
» » » » » incase cypro and spiro was stopping my periods and giving my low
» » » » estrogen
» » » » » (both cypro and spiro have progesterone activity and can stop
» your
» » » » ovaries
» » » » » from functioning via some sort of feedback from the pituitary
» » » gland...
» » » » or
» » » » » something like that). My endo agreed and put me on 250mg
» flutamide
» » » twice
» » » » a
» » » » » day; I started 3 days ago and have noticed no change (I stopped
» » » » everything
» » » » » else). My skin is slightly oilier but no acne. I am losing the
» same
» » » » » numbers of hairs in the shower (roughly 100) but the ratio
» between
» » » » » terminal and miniturized hairs have changed - I am losing a lot
» » more
» » » » » miniturized hairs and less terminal hairs when I blow dry.
» » » » »
» » » » » Just wondering if anyone has any experience... I'm really hoping
» my
» » » » » periods will come back....
» » » » »
» » » » » thanks...
» » » »
» » » » I haven't tried flutamide, just started dutasteride (avodart) a few
» » » weeks
» » » » ago(and am on spiro and desogen). But like everything, I imagine it
» » » will
» » » » be several weeks to months before you will really see any results
» » from
» » » it.
» » » » I think many women think they will see differences sooner, but from
» » what
» » » I
» » » » understand...the whole hair growing process is rather slow as far
» as
» » » » turnover and follicles being affected so it doesn't seem possible
» » that
» » » in
» » » » a few days you'd be feeling any effects..it likely would have
» » happened
» » » » that way anyway. I know...it's so hard to be patient!! I feel like
» my
» » » hair
» » » » has changed dramatically in the last few weeks and it feels so thin
» » to
» » » me
» » » » in the front. I have alot of miniturized hairs and alot that now
» poke
» » » up
» » » » all over the place. I lose both terminal and miniturized still, but
» » » mostly
» » » » the thinner hairs that are in the front.
» » »
» » »
» » » TC
» » » You are under Dr Redmonds care, yes? Tell him this for me.......
» » » I think this is quite a coincidence....
» » »
» » » You, Sadie and I had/have all been taking some kind of Anti androgen
» » and
» » » we ALL have experienced the same thing!!! The front thinning and
» » looking
» » » miniturized QUICKLy over the course of treatment AND a lot of hairs
» » poking
» » » out that are coarser/darker/thicker in diameter) than the rest.
» » »
» » » Now, how could all 3 of us have a negative reaction to anti
» » androgens??
» » » Or maybe its not negative but positive?? Maybe our hair is changing
» to
» » » thicker hairs and the ones that were becoming miniturized (thin hairs
» » in
» » » diameter) are falling out faster that the new healthy ones can keep
» up
» » » with, thus less density in the front? And notice its the areas most
» » » effected by AGA that are changing..
» » »
» » » Ladies, what do you think about what I have just said?
» »
» » Bunnyheather~I see Dr. Redmond on the 11th and will mention the
» » coincidence. However, for me, I am not convinced the new hairs poking
» up
» » on my head are thicker, in fact I think they are miniturizing but I'm
» not
» » certain. They are definitely not thicker, maybe the same if anything. I
» » would think thicker would be a great sign! I suspect my frontal
» thinning
» » would have occurred regardless because it was headed that way...I don't
» » know that it's a response the the anti-androgens or not or just a
» pattern
» » for me. Here's what I'm wondering...does one need something extra to
» » thicken up the hairs affected by miniturization or will it happen on
» it's
» » own once the effects of DHT are minimized and under control? It seems
» alot
» » of women feel the need to use Rogaine to thicken them up.
»
» You are already using Rogaine, right?
Nope...never used the stuff...it freaks me out. I might get to that point but not yet. Redmond is not a big fan of it.
