Judge for yourself:

I am a 64-year-old man, and I’ve always been proud of my perfect health record. I’ve also been proud of my full head of hair, even after the gray started creeping in. Four months ago I caught pneumonia and spent eight days in the hospital (three in intensive care). It took a while, but I’m finally back to normal - except that my hair is falling out. It comes out in clumps when I shampoo or even comb it, and it’s gotten noticeably thin all over. I remember reading about Propecia in your newsletter but I don’t have the old issue. Should I try the medication?

On call. Ever since

I retired last year, I’ve enjoyed taking an afternoon nap whenever it’s convenient. My wife says napping will turn me into an old man. I can easily give up my naps if she is right–but is she?
