I had a follow-up visit with my doctor today. She's just great and I am always encouraged after seeing her. I noticed the first signs of regrowth in March (I'm talking microscopic here), by April it was a wee bit more visible though I was really quite bald. Had about 20% of my hair still hanging on for dear life. Throughout April it really came in and now I have a good bit of coverage. Still a little sparse on top but I am hopeful that if it continues at this rate it will fill in soon.

I don't consider myself fully out of the woods yet or anything. I do notice a few new hairs that fall out here and there (on my pillow, in the shower) but nowhere near what it was like when I was shedding. My doctor said my scalp looked a lot healthier, but there were still some areas of redness which probably indicates it's still active (consistent with the new hairs falling out). So, I'm still using Clobex shampoo but I'll reduce it to 2x a week (vs every other day),and alternate with Nizoral 2% and Head and Shoulders. I'm still doing acupuncture, but now it's less frequent (1x every 1.5 weeks). My next follow-up appointment will be in 4 months.

I also got a prescription for latisse. My eyelashes are still intact, but they've always been short and thin so I thought, what the hell? My doctor said people really like it and was happy to write a rx for it. I'll post updates on any results.

Here are some pics - the first was taken April 10th. It was at the peak of my baldness, but there were signs of regrowth. The second one was taken May 10th. Craziness!
