I appreciate all your responses. Thank you, Hurdity.
Thoroughly understand I will never feel as good again as I once did, but just would like to get the best 'me' I can at the moment.
Must say I have been happy with the gel generally, although it is a bit of a pain (what isn't??!).
However, I do have concerns with my hair thinning, which I think has got worse. It may of course be due to general ageing, but whatever is causing it - I am not happy. The front and temples are particularly bad, and my hairdresser says it could be 'hormonal' but I didn't push her any further as she is young and obviously thinks I am just an old bag, so why should I really care?
Have tried the test gel, and although I did feel energised on it (1 teeny blob twice per week), I noticed after 2 or 3 weeks that strong, dark hairs had started growing on my upper lip. A 14 year old boy would have been proud, but it really put me off as the hair on my head is fair and fine and I have little body hair, which is a good thing.
I like the convenience of the patches - is there a patch which makes your hair grown thick and fast (oest only, as I am on prog Ugest) ?
If it could also make me tall, slim and gorgeous with a smaller nose, then that would be a bonus
