MTV looking for hairloss stories -- share yours about the dangers of Finasteride

[Mew]

Came across this on another site… apparently MTV is looking for people suffering from hairloss to share their stories on their “True Life” documentary show, and will begin filming sometime mid to end of January 2009.

Now I’m not suggesting people go on camera about Finasteride destroying their penis etc (unless that’s something you want to do), but as they have an email address listed below, you might want to generate awareness about the dangers of hairloss medications like Finasteride by emailing them.

For people suffering from Post-Finasteride side effects, consider:

• sharing your personal story about how Finasteride affected you, after taking it for hairloss
• mentioning www.propeciahelp.com
• mentioning www.propeciasideeffects.com
• mentioning this video about permanent Propecia side effects: youtube.com/watch?v=2nXWVTStnHs

… and anything else you feel is relevant.

MTV’s documentary series, “True Life,” is casting young people who are losing their hair for a new episode

Are you too young to be losing your hair? Do you have thinning hair due to unlucky genetics or stress, and it’s affecting your self-esteem? Are you hesitant to go out in public and interact with people because you think they’ll stare at you? Do you try to cover your head with hats, or are you obsessed with hair products that promise to regain growth? If you have answered ‘yes’ to any of these, then MTV would like to hear your story!

Since its initial episode in 1998, MTV’s award-winning True Life documentary series has told remarkable real-life stories of young people and the unusual subcultures they inhabit. Whether documenting the lives of gay marriage activists, individuals dealing with obesity, or teens in high school–the True Life series tells its stories solely from the varied voices and points-of-view of its characters–putting the series in the unique position of reflecting the state of youth culture at any given moment.

If you appear to be between the ages of 17-28 and are losing your hair and would like to share your story, please email us at bodyimage@mtvn.com.

Please include your name, age, your story, a phone number and a photo.
