So, I'm going to discuss this with the doctor, but I wanted to canvas opinion here as well.
I have a full head of hair but it's receding all across the front (think Helen Hunt amount of receding at the moment) and the hairs at the very front are noticeably wispier than elsewhere. There is otherwise plenty of it, but it has always been fine hair. I can't conceive it's ever going to be good enough again for purposes of being accepted as female.
I really don't want to lose my hair, so finasteride has crossed my mind. However, the potential for depressive and cognitive clouding side effects, which could potentially not be resolvable, concerns me. Even if the likelihood is low the consequences would be a major problem since I earn a living from my brain.
This all makes me think, even though I really really don't want to say goodbye to my hair, the time for doing something about it has already passed and finasteride is not worth the risk.
An extra point is that due to having an extra large head it is very difficult for me to find any wigs that fit. Consequently I feel like as far as hair goes it's nearly impossible. sigh.
I welcome your opinions / comments...
