About Me:
I was diagnosed with severe androgenic alopecia towards the end of my senior year of high school (2005), which at the time was a pretty major blow. I've mostly come to terms with the idea of being bald before I hit 30 and have been looking into a proper solution for when that time comes. Luckily, I have an amazing significant other who I can be totally open with about all the anxiety and daily hair rituals that come with being a balding girl.

My current treatment is just 2% Rogaine in the morning and 5% at night. In the past Finasteride was a part of the mix and I think I actually had pretty good results-- at the very least it was slowing down the hair loss. Now that I'm just on the Rogaine, things are going down hill... slowly but I don't really want to go back on the Finasteride because of some of the more serious side effects it carries.

Other than fretting over my hair, I enjoy playing my guitar, bass, and drum kit. I'm also a major geek and love to screw around with computers, computer games, and Linux distros. I'm currently going to school and majoring in Telecommunications Administration with an emphasis in Linux Admin.
